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

HyperV server manager add on is still a stupid cludge. But so far, otherwise, 
very polished.

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. :)

excellent. I checked earlier today, but I guess time difference got in the
way, only the RC was available.

I'll download this sometime over the weekend. Although, I'm not ready to put
it on any systems, waiting to upgrade my main desktop to an SSD as well.

They finally posted links that used Akamai instead of their own server farm,
