After experiencing Vista, the beta sounds too risky. I plan to switch to Vista first in 2012.

Vista to Win7 upgrade = crashing with an uptime under 2 min.
Clean Win7 install = running OK

Detected all of the hardware in my fairly-new Dell laptop except the Video card immediately - the video card (Quadro NVS130M) initially was missed but got picked up on my first actual reboot - I'm not sure if Windows update was involved or not.

Don't like some of the UI changes or the new taskbar/notification area, but otherwise it's not bad. Since I couldn't get the upgrade to go (and lost a bunch of time to a restore from backup), it's on a spare HD and I have not had much time to play with it.

I've just installed Win7 on my Lenovo S10 - installation could not have been easier. I popped it onto a USB drive and had the full install completed in about 30 minutes.

The Lenovo (1.6GHz/160GB/1.5GB) runs perfectly. I did not have to install a single driver myself, and even Bluetooth works as it should.

I'm still running into too many apps on Win7 that don't work, so MS clearly changed a lot under the hood...

What apps?

They don't work at all, or they won't install?

I gave up. Too much stuff that simply does not work, and too many things that should work but don't.

Back to Vista for me :D

The list is endless. Admuncher, Nero, Epson printer software, photo resize apps etc...

I put up with as much as I could, but in the end when I can't even print stuff it just becomes too much.

I apply that same logic to the 2nd degree, and still run XP. :D

And you guys call yourselves nerds. Pffft! :rolleyes: :p

I hope you used the crap out of the "send feedback" button, and sent your complaints to the people that make this software, or this stuff isn't gonna get fixed.
