Windows 7 stability

ccleaner is perfectly fine for win7, its the only one that I trust.

Win7 is pretty stable in my experience.

Rock solid stable, I went from idling @ 40% ram usage on my Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 bit down to 22% ram usage on Win7 enterprise build 7600 x64.

its faster too even with all the aero eye candy turned up.

To date and after updating the BIOS on my desktop, I've only had one issue and that was on my laptop, an Acer 5860. It has an integrated web-cam, a Logitech OrbiCam. Tried to find and install drivers for that - totally screwed up the system and ended up having to do a new, clean install to get my lappie back again.

Aside from that one small issue (small, because I've never used that camera anyway:) ), I've not had any issues with the O/S and runnign software on it.

I've got a firewire Sandisk CF reader. On WinXP, getting this thing to recognize inserted CF cards was a hit or miss thing. On Win7, once the O/S installed the various drivers, it's working a real treat. Might pleased with that!

FWIW, I'm running 7600 x64 on my desktop, 7264 (I think that's the build number - it's at home and I'm at work) x64 on the wife's desktop, and 7264 x86 on the laptop (it only has 2GB of memory). They are all working just great. No BSOD. No issues. No worries!

I am running 7600.16384 and it's a lot more stable than Vista in my experience but other people's results will vary. I installed it 4 days ago. No crash yet, no issues except with my X-Fi soundcard but that's because Creative Labs don't produce proper drivers and most of their cards screw up in computers of various configurations.

I'm running the 64-bit version of the 7100 build and have had absolutely no stability problems whatsoever on my machine. Not a single crash, BSOD or otherwise.

I agree, but it will delete needed dll's and reg entries if you're not careful.
I usually leave option to delete "missing/shared dll's" unchecked.Only checking after uninstalling heavy apps, and then carefully checking through the results.
