   Review - Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit

   Release Candidate 1 (RC) (May 5, 2009)

   Stable, fast, outperforms Vista and even XP in many areas.
   
   Need some more 64-bit 3rd party application support still, but that's not the fault of the OS.
   
   Boots fast, GUI is extremely responsive, taskbar is nearly flawless.

   Review - Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit

   Release Candidate 1 (RC) (May 5, 2009)

   Yay! for trolls.
   
   "Looks like KDE" *laughing*
   
   Yeah, you need glasses, sparky.
   
   "runs as slow as vista"
   
   Hmm.... Sounds like your problem. Everyone who's actually *run* it is saying it performs *far* better.

   Review - Defraggler

   1.09.138 (Apr 14, 2009)

   Issues: Extended defrag times, and disappearing HDD space during defrag.
   
   Solution: Disable System Restore and the Pagefile (may require reboot) Defrag - re-enable System restore and Pagefile.
   
   They *really* need to "lock" system restore while defragging to solve this glitch. The pagefile thing is just a preference, really.
   
   Do the above, however, and it will work flawlessly for almost all.
   
   (This does *not* apply to single-file or selection-mode defrag, it will work fine for that without the above steps.)

   Review - Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit

   Beta (Jan 9, 2009)

   Gawd, what a bunch of whiners. Yeah, they screwed up and should have known better. It sucks that they had to go and screw up the first beta release of a perfectly good OS.
   
   That's a strike against Microsoft, not the product you are "supposedly" reviewing.
   
   If you haven't tried the OS, don't rate it, morons. Duh?
   
   Using the build now, activated. Handles much better than Vista does (What does that tell us...beta code running better than the current platform..)
   
   Vista wasn't the best. It's launch was horrifying. It's a decent OS now, and Windows 7 blows it out of the water.
   
   I'm one of those "technical types" running it as my primary OS. It is faster, more stable, and (subjectively) more responsive than Vista ever was.

6. Comment - Internet Explorer slows down again: Is Microsoft messing up IE's JavaScript?

   4.15.1.450 (Nov 4, 2009 - 11:06 AM)

   "what are we going to do for the IE6 users?"
   
   Um...nothing? IE6 is ancient. No OS has shipped with IE6 in 8 years.
   
   I understand a lot of people still use it. Perhaps Microsoft *should* force the "upgrade".

   @InfoDave: Depends on what you would call a "Microsoft Specific Solution". The sites I use IE on work better with IE. They "work" with FF and chrome...just not as well. I cannot say I've looked into it...as I stated before, I really don't care. IE works better on those sites, so I use IE.
   
   I like Firefox because it's extension support is superior. I like chrome because it's basic. I like IE because it works better on some sites. I hate Firefox because it is bloated. I hate Chrome because it's extension support is brain-dead. I hate IE for the same reasons I hate Chrome.
   
   None of them are perfect. None of them are unusable.

   Suer you have...that's why there's this huge groundswell of trolling about how badly MS messed up IE8 in Win7...
   
   ...oh wait...there isn't. Amazing, isn't it?

    Funny. I've had *zero* problems with both the 32bit and 64bit versions of IE8 included in Win7...
    
    My anecdote cancels yours. Your move.
