WINDOWS 7 THREAD (ongoing)
Darwin:
Hmmm...that probably wouldn't be the best ad slogan even if it were the most accurate.

Volvo: boxy but good!
Darwin:
As far as I can tell, the three app limit is Netbook only and I surmise it's to keep users from overloading the hardware - non?-Darwin (February 04, 2009, 05:48 PM)

Just an arbitrary limit to segment the market and sell more versions and confuse users, *SIGH*.

Crap. You (and other respondents) are probably right... I've yet to play with a Netbook, so have no idea of their capabilities, though a friend just bought one for her daughter, so I hope to have an opportunity soon.

I'm starting getting sick of the whole bloody thing, and it's not even out yet...
Darwin:
I hear, ya, 40hz! I’ve pretty much abandoned the beta in favour of Vista. It’s stable, it’s attractive, and it does what I want it to do, when I need it to, efficiently, quickly and without drama. Why on earth am I even considering messing around with a beta OS? BTW, you will have inferred that I’ve not yet gotten around to installing Win 7 on actual hardware (as opposed to my VM install), and you’d be correct! I don’t think I’m going to bother, either. I haven’t run the VM in at least two weeks and feel no urge to any time soon, either...
I’ll wait for Windows 7 to be released and re-assess at that time. No doubt I’ll be waiting for SP-1 before upgrading, though.

I think we're both sitting in the same pew for that one. :Thmbsup:
I got so annoyed by the whole 'version thing' that I zapped the beta from the test drive it was on. That 200GB is now home to a bright and shiny new T2 SDE I'd been meaning to set up for quite a while.
I think I'll worry about dealing with Win7 when it finally comes out.
