Comment It is working fine for me (Score 1) 4
I upgraded my computer to a Core2 Duo E8500 at the start of the year. I know that's not that hot of an upgrade but I had a pretty old one at the time. My original windows XP install would not work so I give Win7 Beta a run. It had some notable issues with IDE drives and DirectX10 games that were worked out by the win7 RC. I've been using win7 RC since it came out and I am quite happy with it. I have not had any blue screens or a program lock up that the task manager could not recover from. I have 3 computers on my home network with an old netgear router. Two of the 3 are on a homegroup and the file sharing all works as it should. The only issue I still get from time to time is 'no internet' For some reason I have to unplug my router to fix this. (the solution was deduced with the trouble shooter in win7)
Don't think I'm a huge MS fan. I use Firefox, OpenOffice and was hoping to switch to Ubuntu Linux when Vista came out. My family is just too addicted to DirectX based games for that to realistically happen because Wine can only get you so far. Win7 is proving a happy replacement to XP. I have pre-ordered 2 copies at the discount rate.
