Windows 7: Worth it? Any good?

[Wooster]

Seems ok.

Haven't had the time to figure out file sharing between 7's Homegroup and laptops on a Domain yet though (looks feckin difficult/impossible atm).

Apart from that, everything works better than Vista.
(Which you could take to mean 'it works as well as XP'  )

I'm gonna try it in vmware on my work laptop for a few weeks and then maybe make the jump.

I have been running 7 at home for a while now.  It is certainly a lot better than Vista.  Homegroup can be a pain to get your head around when you are used to the old style of networking but once you get the idea it is easier but like all things easy it has less flexibility.

It's so good, i've got two!

Pre-ordered Home Premium for £45, and got given a legit Pro key, hehe. Which is sort of useful since i have two PC's lol.

Ignore the Filesharing issue.

I think it's related to one of the laptops, not 7.
(One of the lappies had an issue with Vista as well)

[keasy]

Everything Vista should have been.


It's oh so shiny with the underneaths actually working, quickly too.
