Anybody get kinda bored after a big leak?

So I worked from the beginning to help make sure this was the one. Tweaked to make the d/l faster. Tore apart the ISO to look for versions, dates and digital signatures. Tried to establish the source... Installed it on the Netbook. No problems. Installed configured all the software etc. Installed it on the Media Center. No problems. Installed and configured that too. Checked SevenForums for issues with the build to help with. Nothing major that's not pbkac.

Now what. This OS is so stable and easy it's almost boring Is that how Microsoft determines when it's ready to release? When it gets so boring that average Joe Sixpack can handle it? I was hoping that RC would be this big rush but it's not, it's just, boring. I'm like a dog that chases cars, only this time I caught one

I guess I would normally be the same, however this time I am going x64 so I am expecting to have a few "issues" that I haven't come across before. The good thing is I have this wonderful resource to fall back on called SeveForums.
That is once I can get the damned download finished...
At least I am not stressing about backing everything up...I have plenty of time to do that while waiting...

Yes, after all the work of getting it dl'd and installed; it's like what now? I believe that's why we're all ready for the 'next' build just as soon as we get the current one installed; we're like a bunch of junkies, we need another fix before the needle has left our arm.

What are we going to do when there are NO MORE BUILDS.

I just finished installing. Getting to be pretty routine. It went very smooth as usual. Still can't get a word doc to open in word by dropping on the pinned taskbar icon. Works with IE and I assume notepad and the rest. Bummer.

Will check it out somemore tomorrow. Install some software. See what happens.

Hi Ted,

It's called withdrawal.

Ever look at an Office shortcut? They're not "normal". The way they implement that JIT (Just-in-time) installation trick they do -- you know "Install on First Use" is to actually have the shortcuts be shortcuts to the installer which then launches the right program from the suite. That's why you can't drop on the taskbar.
