    One thing I love to do is grab my bar and give it a good shake. Talking about Windows 7 UI enhancements of course.

    Pah, who needs DELTREE when you had Norton Commander 3.0?

    TBH ... Window's NT/2000 was the last one I really liked. Have came round to XP as it's improved ... Vista spent a whole 2 hours on my laptop before it was burned!

    have been running win 7 since RC1 and haven't had any issues. Have it installed on my main business laptop and have just this weekend upgraded it to a legit retail copy. It's far far better than vista, it just simply works IMO.
