Just wondering, any compatibility issues with current programs on your computer?

only thing was with the ATI graphic drivers (i think that was the message i got) and it fixed itself via update. I have LOTS of proggies on my PC too, dreamweaver, photoshop, pidgin, office suite, etc etc, everything seems ok to me. Running on a Dell XPS420

Yep, i confirm it my self, i love this one alot better then the vista version, the speed is alot better, the boot time is quicker.I think they change alot of the kernels in windows 7 to improve it.I think this version is based of windows xp pro.

Plus i didn't have to install any of the drivers except for my wireless since i use linksys.But over all i give it a 10 :up:

I'm running it as well, and I've only booted into Vista once since installing and that was to copy my music over.

I feel it's a great improvement over Vista.

the way the taskbar works and grouped items in the taskbar is really nice.

THe OS is pretty stable and nice looking, i prefer it in some ways even if its in beta

Actually no, it's based off Vista, but an improved Vista.
From the start, they (Microsoft) wanted to make the new OS, with Vista matching system requirements.

Quote from Softpedia: "A computer with a 1-GHz 32-, or 64-bit (x64) processor, 1 GB of system memory, at least a DirectX 10 graphics card, if not even DirectX 9, with over 128MB of graphics memory, and a 40 GB hard drive will be more than enough to power Windows 7."

So yes, Windows 7 will probably be a good OS.
I'm sure going to try it once i get a new PC.
