Hello Darryl Licht and ViperChief, welcome to Seven Forums!

Saw this thread and thought I'd say hi. Been using Windows 7 since the first day the public beta was available. I didn't stop using the beta until the RC came out and didn't stop using that until I discovered the RTM in my school's MSDNAA account and that's what I'm running now. Professional x64. I don't think I've ever said this, but I think I'm in love with Windows 7, which is weird.

But, seriously, I think Microsoft hit a home run with this one. I was running Vista before, and still have it on another hard drive, but through the beta and RC, I had no major issues. The only problem I've seen is that Acrobat Reader sometimes acts up. Strangely, it's only on my laptop and I never had the problem on my desktop. I really should look into it (when it happens, it usually works after a refresh).

I'm a CS student and currently learning C++ through my school. I've started using Visual Studio 2008. Anyway, I'm loving Windows 7 and I'm hoping to get pretty proficient with the system. One thing I really like is the new resource monitor. That is very nice, in my opinion.

As a quick tech background, I've been using computers since I was a kid in the early 80s. I've used all the Windows systems except Win2k (which I just got my hands on and will be playing with) and ME. I've also played with other systems, including Linux and BSD.

As to your problem with Adobe in Windows 7...Try "Foxit reader" It's faster and uses far less resources. I think you will find you like it better that Adobe reader.
