Back on track
Well, I've been on the RTM final version for a few weeks now.
I'm slowly starting to get used to it, as I was not a Vista user at all.
My biggest peeve, If you pin the explorer window, it will always reset to open to your Libraries. I'm sure there's a trick to forcing it to open to C: or X:, but I haven't taken the time to search for it.
I'm still peeved at how they barried some of the things I alwways accessed on 1 or 2 clicks.
I'm sure glad I figured out how to turn off the drop shadow of the icon text. Damn, that was annoying to say the least. -
Under Start menu options, display Computer as menu.
From now on, hover over Computer until the list of drives appears and then click on the drive or right-click and Explore. This way, you get the original Explorer rather than the newer version with the Libraries etc.
Same trick for viewing Control Panel with the traditional layout (i.e., access it via a menu link on the Start menu).
Personally, been hacking away on Win 7 RTM for a while and only have a couple of peeves:
System tray icons are monochrome
Windows Basic via Remote Desktop makes it *very* hard to read the font on the task bar etc. Easily dealt with by using Windows Classic via RDP. This relates to the other annoyance of not being able to change the taskbar font attributes (unless you want to hack the theme files).
There are some other minor ones but the gains outweigh the losses. -

Now you can take the Windows 7 Personality Quiz
http://www.microsoft.com/hk/windows7/quiz/
You are... Minimalist
You advocate green living. You don't show off and you appreciate the elegance of minimalist simplicity.
The minimal Windows 7 system requirements satisfy your thrifty nature because you don't have to add on additional kinds of hardware or software. Its various power and energy saving features fit your simple living life style. -
Just found that Windows 7 Party Hosts get 2 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit and 64-bit

Better to hedge our bets (and VECD doesn't care which desktop version we use).FB-DIMM are the real cause of global warming -
The RTM version has been available since June. It's what I am using and is just fine. Then again, since starting using Vista in Nov 2006, I've only experienced one BSOD. Choice of hardware is everything.

For those that don't know my highly overclocked HTPC has a quad core cpu, 8GB of ram (2) psu's totaling 900 watts, a 8800GTX gfx card, a Hauppauge hi-def TV tuner card, SB Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sound card, a HDD expansion card, 8 HDD's, 1 blu ray burner and a "partidge in a pear treeeeeeee"

Don't get me wrong tho' rallynavvie, I totally agree that XP is more than sufficient for the workplace, but is just about dead as far as I am concerned for personal use
I just had my first BSOD in weeks upgrading to the latest version of BD Rebuilder (30.02) because the older beta version I was using "timed out", now using 30.01 w/o issue
I am not counting that 1 against Win 7

M$ employee store finally posted up Windows 7 so I picked up a couple copies of Ultimate with my voucher before it expired. Still not planning on installing it on my workstation until SP1 comes out. I may put it on my old Sony Vaio laptop but mainly plan on running it as a VM until SP1.

Anyone else crashing Windows Explorer in the RC? For me it happens when scrolling down on one drive (a 1.5TB Seagate).

I've reported the problem. Explorer (including the task bar) crashes but can be relaunched. It doesn't take out the OS.

Fortunately there isn't anything that I need that I can't access from within the VM. And with VMware View 4 offering PCoIP there's a possibility of running Windows 7 Media Center right from a PCoIP-enabled display. That's what I'm looking forward to this ChristmasFB-DIMM are the real cause of global warming -

I installed Windows 7 Ultimate "Signature Edition" on my 2nd PC, installation was "pain free"
It found every driver for all my hardware automatically

Outlook Express and Windows Movie Maker are gone, by default.
They can be replaced by downloading Windows Live Mail and Windows Live Movie Maker. I haven't tried the former yet and I haven't decided what I think about the latter.
