Not really a fan of the new "my computer" (win-E) layout...but the taskbar is kinda groovy.

but you can customise the favourite places pane on the left!! this is win imho, as i've trimmed the fat and only got places there i actually go to regularly (aside from my kb's built in shortcuts)

I'm hoping Win7 gets the new Windows Server TCP stack at some stage .. almost a complete rewrite, and muchly improved.

Win 7 shares it low level stuff with 2008 R2 :wink:

DUDE.

Can you find some confirmation that the TCP stack is the same?

There are some TIGHT configurations, tweaks and tricks that can be done with it.

Best way to confirm is to compare File Version tag for TCPIP.sys on both 7 and R2 (I am not running any R2 servers here yet so I cannot compare myself) but from all accounts they share the same kernal and many new network features in R2 only work with Windows 7 (Direct Connect VPN for instance)

anyone notice the internet is more active in Win7, seems to accessing it more frequently.

Still cannot work out the flashplayer issue and Iview. But reading on the Win7 forums it could a issue with 64bit versions of Win7.

Another problem is that it keeps wanting to upgrade 4 drivers the same ones all the time. Realtek, Printer ,video card and Display driver( which has a virus in it).

And that's why you never let Windows choose your drivers.

its a samsung monitor driver its exactly the same on both sites for 64bit. Samsung is not responding to my emails and i am not sure how to contact MS. Malwarebytes detects it straight away after downloading driver.

Also my Nvidia drivers are dated for may2009 should i update them too as i read the latest drivers for Nvidia are giving people heaps of problems.

Does youtube use flashplayer? just looking for another source for seeing if it a issue with Iview or Flashplayer. But i was checking my speeds i seem to get a spike which ramps my speeds up and not sure if this could be causing the jerky issues in Iview.

Yeah, don't use the Samsung monitor driver that Windows 7 tries to get. It doesn't add anything and just fsck up the colour. Speaking from experience.

Finally got it installed, Loving the changes and the performance (most applications install and start instantly).. its really taking advantage of my hardware.. even better MY XFI FINALLY WORKS! Wooooo..

I also love how they simplified the dock, best addition ever- now it works like MacOSX.

can't wait to give the games a shot.

you can hide those updates you dont want, should stop it downloading them

im not having any problems with the 191.07 driver

Not sure if it is cause i just did a upgrade from vista64 to Win7. I hardly used Vista64 maybe 48hrs as i was having video card problems. Thats why i bought a EVGA 260 896mb card with Win7.

I can live with the Iview problem for now just like someone pressing pause every 1min. Seems like a buffering issue. Noticed the samething was happening in WoW for 5mins then it stopped. So it may be a driver issue.

Just updated the drivers the Iview problem seems to be fixed. I installed the August drivers which detected my gtx260 and installed some extra tuning software too.

Yeah I had the same problem with Windows Vista and 7 with my Samsung 226BW, I had to find the drivers online, install and reboot my laptop to get it to work as an attached monitor.

As usual, power cycles fix all!

Anyone watch DVD's on Win7 ? I am deciding on whether to stick to the Media Center or maybe get PowerDVD. So they both look the same ,only thing is Media Center you cannot adjust brightness or colours.
