Ive been up and running on windows 7 ultimate beta since sunday 18 1 09 and im quite impressed at the moment , programs and folders and pictures are opening quicker, start up time is under 1.5 mins ,shut down is 50 seconds compared with 3 mins plus for my old windows xp. Internet explorer 8 seems quite a bit faster than 7 .
Theres a new paint which i havent messed with yet.
Theres a new thing called snipping tool which will take a crop of any picture even the desktop wallpaper,its very handy actually.
Theres also a new thing called mediacentre which is more for gogglebox addicts i think.
Ive run the windows defragmenter and found it slow ,i will probably install my diskeeper 9 its faster and visually shows you the state of the files and paging file areas.
ive instaled the free avast antivirus and it works fine.
Only faults ive had so far have been messenger has signed itself out a couple of times and a higher than usual ping when playing counterstrike online.
