Windows 7 RC

Just reinstalled my primary laptop with Windows 7 RC. To try out something new I decided to install the 64 bit version. The installation worked pretty smooth. About an hour after I started the install, I had a running laptop. No drivers needed or any stuff like that.

So far I only discovered two issues running the Windows 7 64 bit version. Cisco discontinued developing ther VPN client for 64 bit operating systems. Apparently they build a new client called "Cisco AnyConnect". The only bitch about this is, that you have to be a registered user to download the software. I never understood that thing with Cisco - a little bit of googling and you have the client.

Daemon tools cannot be installed yet, I hope Daemon up them selves for RTM - they seem really ignorant saying "we don't support beta os's" (Bastards). This especially annoys me, because all of the downloads from MSDN is provided as an iso. At least they can be unpacked with winrar, wich basically wants me to forget that Daemon tools exists.

The conclusion of my freshly installed RC as a primary machine is: Cool. The more I start using Windows 7, the more impressed I get. Microsoft has really done a great job on this one.
