Very neat Screenshot walkthrough my friend.. totally Loved it!! Though the cynic towards MS could be toned down (kiddin.. i know it’s just your humble opinion towards things).
What I’m most interested to look at the soon to come out release of Win 7 is its ability to “automatically” cope up with the version / compatibility issues with applications.
I’ve got many applications at my workplace, which when I use on my laptop need specific configurations / versions.. for example, Cisco Webview – doesn’t work with IE8 or any browser other than IE6 or 7 for that matter.. What do I do there??
Many locally installed or standalone custom build apps can be run simply by choosing an option to “Run in compatibility mode – Windows XP / Vista” or so but not all..
So again, it’s the seamless transition factor that I find interesting.

I installed windows 7 RC over vista ultimate and absolutlely love windows 7. I cannot say enough about it. Only problem I have run into is at times I can not unpin certain icons from the task bar. I haven’t spent a lot of time yet trying to find out why, but not really concerned.
Windows 7 is a must have.

You should warn people who have a pentium 4 1800mhz with a 128 mb radeon sapphire agp graphics card they will never see the glass effects of windows aero. I am beta testing Win 7 RC 32bit and the 64bit versions. I have run Vista on this same Pen 4 without a problem and wondered if there is a fix for this. I thought if Vist Ultimate had no problem nietherI have looked everywhere and found no fix.
But I must say it works gloriously on my Quad Core with a gig radeon graphics card. I think the low end Pentiums may not be up to the trial of Win 7.
When it works though on the Quad it runs old software like the oldest Age of Empires and even Lands of Lore 2 wonderfully. As well, it runs the new spectacularly. I love Win 7, however I may have to wait 3 years for the price to go down. Will the price drop any time soon from 300 Dollars? I waited several years for Vista and still had to pay 189 Dollars.
But Like Ace said it would be nice if the old [2YEAR OLD] Pentium 4 had the bling, intead of the old Dos6.0/Win3.1 styles bar. The least Microsoft could do for those of us who want the bling is to give us that nasty looking XP Luna bar rather than Dos/Win or the plain silver bar.

Well done with the presentation Geek, I am also impressed on how often you actually replied to your viewer’s questions. Keep up the good work.

Although I really like the new Win7, I have this thing about “eye candy” you know…customization such as those found in Windowblinds. For me, this is what you may call “bling” for my desktop and I absolutely love it and have to have it. I’ve heard that Win7 is not very “customization friendly” and I know that there are tons of people out there who are exactly like me and gotta have the “bling”. Is the final version going to give us the option to put on our “bling” or will we pretty much be stuck with whatever Microsoft decides to put in their “personalization options” function?
