But that aside, Windows 7 is far better running than Vista, at least as long as you run on common hardware that is not high-end stuff.

Seems to be everyone is extolling the virtues of windows 7. I've heard that "what vista should have been" thrown around a lot too. Sill, I'll wait until there's a smooth version of FF out. Can't bear to be without my precious noscript and adblock. It must be such a pane to try and come up with puns when you’re sick.

I have been running the RC and it's awesome. I can't believe the difference over XP especially in graphics rendering. One of the features that I like best is the preview feature on the toolbar menu. When I play WoW and I am on a flight, it's easy for me to peek and see whether I have landed while still reading my favorite blog. It doesn't just show a static picture, it shows me in flight. The one thing I do not like and I hope is improved in the final version is FF. Firefox performs very poorly in Windows 7. I assume that's because a version of FF for W7 hasn't been released yet. Overall, I like it. I hated Vista and switched back but so far Windows 7 has sold me. 100% yes. I have been running the RC and it’s awesome.
