^^ Thanks! Repped ya!

Yeah, I love it. Try pressing the Windows Key + Tab. Awesome way to switch between windows!

So, in Windows 7, Win+Tab now does what Alt+Tab has always done? That's going to be very annoying to get used to for the first couple weeks whenever I upgrade...

Nope, not true. Alt + Tab still does the normal cycling between windows (which I frequently use), but Windows + Tab gives some nice eye candy but provides the exact same function as Alt + Tab.

Ah, I see. I guess I'll have to try it whenever I finally get 7. Thanks--my apprehension level has lessened.

Yes, trust me, Windows 7 is great even if you're a Windows OS veteran. There isn't much that annoys me in Windows 7, besides some of the Compatibility issues and Control Panel's layout.

I agree. Windows 7 is amazing. MUCH MUCH better than any of the previous versions. It's so good that its made me forget about ditching PC's and going with a Mac.

I was in your same shoes. I was close to giving in and buy a Mac but Windows 7 kept me faithful!

I don't have many issues with Windows 7, and if I do, they are generally pretty minuscule compared to the ones I had with Vista/XP/2000/98/etc.. Overall, it's a great OS and should be an immediate upgrade if you have the resources.

I think Windows 7 suffers from memory leaks. I have to reboot both my laptop and my workstation at the office every few days to get all the free RAM back.

For a kick ass addon, google dexpot.

Yes, I've noticed the same issue. I have quite a meaty computer, but if my rig goes into Sleep mode for more than five hours it will be temperamental until I restart. I haven't experienced that with XP.

It could be (is) considered a big deal, but it doesn't bother me much. It is good to give your computer a nice restart every now and then.
