Well I installed Windows 7 RC build 7100 on my laptop the other night to see whats different. Not much seems to have changed since build 7000, but I haven't looked too hard. As for running on an older laptop it runs great, not all the fun transparency stuff is there but it looks nice still and no lag running programs.

Why is it that all these tech journalists all think that every one should have jumped to Windows Vista and when Windows 7 comes out that they well have to jump to it too. Most people wont use it since there computers now run great under Windows XP and don't need up upgrade the computer just to run Vista. And the companies that use XP don't see the reason ether since all there tasks can be done on XP.

Well a few days ago I did an update to Windows 7 on my Belkin USB wireless adapter and it stoped working. And to make it worse I downloaded the drivers for my Nvidea card and it insalled the Windows 7 beta and now the video dosnt work. So I havent been using it and have been using Windows XP since I was doing bills and my my taxes. I'll see if I get time soon to try and boot to safe mode and replace the drivers and get it going agin.

Just though I should post that I got Windows 7 up and running just fine, been going for a few hours I was just spending time with my Lady. Set up was easy, ran in to a little problem, my CPU doesn't support 64-bit so I had to stick with 32-bit boo. I had to use a XP driver to get my USB wireless adapter to work since there was no Visa driver on the disk.

Well I have gotten Windows 7 Beta fully downloaded and burned to DVD disks. Now the next step is to try and install it on my extra 120GB hard drive on my main computer. Because I don't want to lose any thing I well be un-plunging the SATA cable from my save disk and main disk running Windows XP with every thing how I like it.

I well be trying to post when I have it installed and running, hope my USB wireless adapter works and every thing else too for that mater. Most likely my Sound Blaster Live card wont run since that was the problem I had with Vista along with it being slow.

Well I just got online and to my surprise Microsoft got there Product Key generator working and is serving up Windows 7 Beta keys just fine, so good I got 2 32-bit and 2 64-bit haha. But they have problems with the download link on the page that has your key on it just seems to load and then not go anywhere. But when you do get a key make sure you "Please print this page for your records." because you well need it when you do your install.

Well I just read though my email and found out that OpenOffice.org 3.0 is out. Then right above it I saw that the site is down because every one is trying to get it. That's always not so handy. So I am downloading it now and I well be hosting if for a wile on my site to help others get it.

I haven't tried it out yet, but I hope it is cleaner then older ones. Right now I use Microsoft Office 2007 just because it works well, but I know my Grandpa likes OpenOffice.org for its powers and free. Grandpa has used just about any office package out there.

This is lame, I know that there is a lot of Spam out there but there is also a lot of "you need to download this ecard or download this fix for your computer" but what it is, is a tracking link that tells the system that you exist and then gets you to download a bot net program.

These things popped up a wile back in ecards, saying "your grandma sent you a card, download to receive it" but it owns your computer now. And then turns your computer into a mail server pushing out loads of spam, DoS attacks, or viruses.
