Default Re: Windows 7

Boot Camp supported Vista since Leopard, if I remember correctly. I installed Vista Home Premium on my MBP originally, and only took it off because I had limited space and ran into issues when installing a stripped-down version. Also ran into random issues trying to install the drivers for my school's printers. So, I eventually gave up and installed XP.

I believe boot camp 3.0 (Snow Leopard) adds support for Win 7. Either way, I need support for an upgrade, so I didn't bother. Some day, when I have the luxury of time and another license, I'll install 7 on my laptop.

I just finished installing Win 7 (RTM) onto my desktop, replacing Vista Business SP2. The upgrade took forever (4 hours, roughly). I haven't noticed any problems though, all my programs seem to work and didn't have any driver issues, so I guess you can call that a smooth upgrade.

Not so sure I like what they did with the start bar. I actually liked the internet icon pinned at the top. Can I get it back? The taskbar will also take a little getting used to, but it doesn't seem horrible. Looks and feels like Vista. Not really sure how people hate Vista but can like 7. Seems like one and the same to me.

Anything new I should really look at?
