Just installed Windows 7 RC because I rebuilt my desktop and needed a new OS anyways. Way faster! I like!

Windows 7 should scale to the hdd space you have if I recall. I find the RC slower than my previous build 7077

7077 is pretty mint. it does load a lot faster, but i've had some issues with the taskbar being intrusive on VLC fullscreen.

Is it worth switching from vista to Windows 7? I can't get back into vista so i'm wondering if its worth it to just install windows 7. I have everything on different partitions so it shouldn't be a problem to just completely replace Vista. Would I have to reinstall everything again or can I just run the programs from a partition?

And yes you have to reinstall all your programs

^Alright thanks for the info. Luckily all of my documents and pictures are all on different partitions so I just need to create the DVD. Reinstalling the programs is going to be a toughy haha. Should be worth it in the end hopefully.
On a side note whats this talk about windows 7 being a whole lot expensive?

Just take note. Win7 is beta software. So some things might not work. With that said its great to try it out.

Isn't one of the advantages to Win7 is that system drivers are automatically installed compared to XP and Vista?

Question... so basically this is a trial version? then when the actuall program in stores is released i have to go buy it? Not sure if it's worth installing everything all over again.

Runs awesome on my new Lenovo SL.

damn.. anyone else find windows 7 to download things extremely fast?
i just downloaded the itunes exe file which is 58mb i belive in under 4 seconds
also.. how do you put programs into your task bar or w/e while deleting the main icon on the desktop? when i do this it seems to only be a shortcut to the actual link on the desktop and i'm just hiding them

Just finished installing windows 7. I think this will be my main OS from now on. So far so good although it took me a really long time to install. I don't know if it was the way i burnt it or if its my DVD drive. I'm starting to install everything again.

Install, whether fresh or upgrade, should be roughly 15-20mins.
I;m trying to install iTunes, but there is no Win7 version for it. Only vista or xp. lol.
