Disappointed, satisfied? Thoughts about RTM...

Call me fool if you want to, but I´m happy with RC build 7100. I´ve decided not to upgrade to 7600, my next upgrade will happen on October 22nd.

Since I got my first PC (IBM 5150) September 1983 I´ve gone through all versions of MS-DOS and Windows. Now I feel this is it; this is what I have been waiting, the way computer should be used. RC build 7100, which I installed 5 weeks ago, is and has been the first Windows for me completely without problems. All drivers found, systems working, not a single issue*, not a single crash or BSOD. It´s fast, reliable, nice looking, easy to modify to meet my needs.

(* This was not so big issue and anyway it is now solved)

Edit: For those interested the mentioned IBM PC Model 5150 had a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 processor, 256 kB memory, no HD and it used 5¼-inch diskettes which in the beginning could store 180 kB (later 1.2 MB). 16 colors, 320 * 200 display. Using a bit Internet I found out that the price then in Finland, 24 000 Finnish Marks, would be about €8 000 (£6 900 or $11 300) in todays money. I remember my quite a good monthly salary was then about 2 500 Finnish marks before taxes, so to get my first PC I had to use almost 10 months gross income.

I am also happy with Windows7, I really did not have any problems besides needing drivers for my printer, the rest was always found by windows update.

LOVIN IT.

I am also very happy/satisfied with Windows7. Head and shoulders above vista. Using it as primary OS. Really appreciate the fast start up/shutdown. Vista drove me crazy at times. Windows 7, very fast and very stable.

Same here.
