[H] Windows 7 RTM
So what's the verdict so far? Any changes or improvements from RC1?
Re: [H] Windows 7 RTM
Bit faster for me. Hdmi audio support is improved over rc1. Codecs integrated correctly for mkv without registry help. Some new addons I haven't played with. No major changes I've seen. --Original Message-- From: swzaske Sender: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com ReplyTo: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: [H] Windows 7 RTM Sent: Aug 8, 2009 6:27 PM So what's the verdict so far?

Sounds like the writing's on the wall for XP. Nice of MS to offer a family package with 3 licenses too. $50 a pop is very reasonable and I've always felt more people would buy instead of pirate if MS didn't charge so much. tmse...@rlrnews.com wrote: Bit faster for me.

Re: [H] Windows 7 RTM
I just spent the better part of the afternoon and evening rebuilding my work machine to the RTM bits. (I was running the RC, and I don't believe in in-place upgrades, period). Sucks that I have to do it after hours, but it takes a good 5 hours or so to get critical tools and such reinstalled. It does seem faster overall. Animations seem a little more refined and a little smoother--including Aero Peek, which I've grown to use quite a lot. I'm still waiting on a W7 RTM RSAT package, and the RTM XPM bits. Luckily, the W7 RC RSAT package installed and seems to work--I tested that beforehand, because that would have been an instant restore from backup. :) Greg -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware- boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of tmse...@rlrnews.com Sent: Saturday, August 08, 2009 6:44 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Windows 7 RTM Bit faster for me.

Re: [H] Windows 7 RTM
HyperV server manager add on is still a stupid cludge. But so far, otherwise, very polished.

Re: [H] Windows 7 RTM
In terms of the interface itself, or that you have to install the RSAT package to get the client? Interface wise, it doesn't bug me too much...though it is light on many fronts. I do hate that it is tied to RSAT, but at least it runs without having to drop in .NET DLLs and set environment variables, etc. that is required to run the vSphere 4.0 client. I do despise the WMI-only Hyper-V API though Greg -Original Message- From: hardware-boun...@hardwaregroup.com [mailto:hardware- boun...@hardwaregroup.com] On Behalf Of tmse...@rlrnews.com Sent: Saturday, August 08, 2009 11:56 PM To: hardware@hardwaregroup.com Subject: Re: [H] Windows 7 RTM HyperV server manager add on is still a stupid cludge.
