Default Windows 7

Early thoughts.

Hmm, not sure after the debacle that was Vista.

What pisses me off most about Windows 7 is the fact that they will probably never get round to fixing the bug in explorer that is causing file transfer across the network to take forever in Vista.

I suspect the fix will be to "Upgrade to Windows 7"

Didn't they fix that in SP1? There seemed to be a hulluva improvement after I installed it.

The fix would require them taking out the DRM stuff, so don't hold your breath.

It's a bit better but still crap with huge numbers of small files. If you use something else to copy the files across the network its all fine so it's definitely an explorer bug.

Out of interest are you copying files between Vista and non-Vista systems?
