Windows 7

During my easter holidays, I had some sparetime for once, and I needed to reinstall my laptop. The choice was to downgrade to XP or reinstall Vista. I got really tired with Vista, now that's an operating system, that should have never been released.

But since my current customer provides me with a spare laptop, I don't accually use my own these days, so I thought why not give Windows 7 a shot even though it's in Beta.

My first findings was sweet. Win7 is still nothing compared to OsX, but Microsoft really upped them selves on this one. Compared to Vista it is soooooo snappy, and I really love what they did with the taskbar. Off course it's in beta, so there'll be some downs as well:

gr8:

• New taskbar UI is brilliant
• From computer management you can attach a virtual image (vhd) as an extra harddrive
• When docking my Lenovo, I've had big problems with display settings under Vista - these disapeared with win7
• Windows Mobile Device Center connects to my mobile device, _every_ time. This rarely happened with Vista (or XP and Active Sync)

Downers (Hopefully due to beta):

• Some times my laptop goes to sleep mode for no reason, even while using the laptop (Solved: this only occurs while AVG virus scanner is running)
• Some times it boots into repair mode, but can't repair. Shut down the laptop, go for a smoke, try again and it boots
