Bummer..Downloading the OS again and all the programs..sigh. Guess i can't back up all the installed programs on my 7077 with Ghost and bring them all back on the official RC right...?

I would think you could.

No i dont use it so i wouldn't be able to tell ya.My idea of backing things up is throw everything i wanna keep on a flash drive and move on.

way too fast it seems... and to back that up, the removal of features are almost a weekly happening announcement.... i would like someone to compare the features of an early early build, in the 6800's to now 7100.... whats gone, whats been added. What works, what still doesnt. Whats been changed/tweaked. good/bad?

I have a great fear that this is the kissing cousin to Vista. As MS is already plowing the future garden for windows 8. Horse without a wagon. Vista may end up having more features avail than 7 when all is said and done, tho they may not work, lol.
