    I just dumped Windows XP and I'm going with the beta full time till August. I'm loving this W7.

    My son's been running W7 for a couple of weeks. He says it's pretty good but it does have some pesky bugs in it.

    The only driver it didn't find for me was my TV Tuner which could b/c they do not have a 64bit driver version for it.

    I would really like to test out the new W7MC

    My son says his w7 keeps losing his wireless Internet card. It fails to recognize he has wireless Internet hardware at times and then then it will work fine at times .Anybody else having this trouble?

    Remember this is still in beta and the best thing to do is send feedback. Has he tried another card to make sure it's not his wireless adapter? What does the device manager say?

    I've used it some on the 32 bit version. In general I like it, but it didn't pick up the QAM channels. I had heard it was supposed to in Win7. I'm hoping that since its still only beta, that that's the problem.

    Switched to the beta version of Norton 360. While recently I've fallen out of faith with Norton, this was actually a decent software offering. Hopefully they don't screw it up when it goes gold.
