Anyone using this yet? I'm just busy downloading it now.
Thank you in advance, for your help.
Looks around, damn hope I got everything speeeled right.

Aah well, we'll see.
Just think: after ME we got XP, so Windows 7 will probably (hopefully) be a great, stable release, that will last us another 8 years...

Also, maybe M$ is waiting to see what Google will cook up?

I read that W7 might corrupt MP3 files, even on network shares, so I have to backup my desktop properly before I install it on my lappy.
This might be overkill, but I haven't backed it up in 2 weeks, so I may as well do this now.
Also, I'm just checking to make sure I know how to set up the booting, so I can still boot XP and Ubuntu...

Not quite...
I wasn't impressed with what I saw in Vista: for a system upgrade - as in pony up the money for the shiny new 'upgrade'.
This is free, and I can install it on my lappy, which these days is relegated to my wife looking at pictures of not-really-friends on Facebook...

When I upgrade the HW I'll probably get Vista, but I definitely don't upgrade just for the sake of getting a shiny new desktop...
