Do you even know what spam is? Hint: not all useless posts are spam.

Yes I do know that, but given that this post had the distinct appearance of one of those cut-and-paste gloss-overs (which Microsoft themselves are ever so famous for), I had to ask the question.

Personally I do like what I've seen thus far in Win7 (mind you I have made the move to x64, so is quite difficult to rate performance diff when was using Vista Ultimate x86 - the heaviest of the heavy). Hardware is handled surprisingly well - even my 7yo CanoScan runs perfectly. Also glad to see MS has seen the light and pulled back on the unsigned driver issue that frustrated the crap out of x64 Vista users.

Security - am a little disappointed that the default user-account is still Admin level. The general end-user would probably be best using a "Standard User" account, but how many general users are going to fiddle around with that?? Add to that the ease with which the user can dial down the UAC to almost useless, it seems security has yet again taken a bit of a back-seat. As to how it will hold up against the usual tide of malware, we won't really know that until retailed and becomes a bigger target.

Networking - a damned treat networking btwn Win7 machines, but haven't really had the chance to see how well it networks with other OS's... I imagine many of the new features (such as HomeGroup) won't make much of a difference on that front.

Windows Explorer. This one I'm not impressed with. Opens straight into your libraries, rather than an actual directory. When pinned to Start Menu or Task Bar, Jump Lists DO NOT include any custom added libraries, which is a major pain in the proverbial. I'm currently looking for hole in the Reg to manually modify.

I do bear in mind that some will find it too "showy" and will hunt down those sites to turn many of those features off (seeing s MS in their usual style hasn't made all that easy to do so). I guess it all comes down to the fact that no OS is perfect for everyone.

MS is starting to get the hint that people want to be able to configure things just the way they want... but they certainly aren't all the way there yet. A common "tweak" that's built into almost every Windows customisation utility (which started rolling out about 5mins after any new beta release get out) is the ability to remove those stupid short-cut arrow.... yet with all the glossy mods Windows builds in, this little feature never seems to make it in - go figure.

Still haven't seen confirmed upgrade prices for Ultimate - Ultimate. By the way, are you upgrading a retail or OEM Vista install?

As to how long. Completely depends on your system, but would recommend a clean install (can still be done using the Upgrade licence) as will avoid all the hassles of a Frankenstein build

Hmph! I can get HP at dirt-cheap price via work, but Pro or Ultimate are out of own pocket.

I thought you'd get Enterprise or Ultimate at work. Home Premium?
