Have been running it for a few days now and really like it. Have IIS installed as a webserver so I can learn the newer version better. Also have MySQL installed and PHP working under FastCGI.
Have a few sound glitches here and there. Mainly Skype 4 refuses to ring my speakers with the default sound and took awhile to get World of Warcraft to use the speakers instead of the headphones for sound output. Other than issues like that, I am willing to make it my default OS now.
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.
