  The good news is Windows 7 is going to deliver ahead of schedule silencing all the naysayers.  August 6th is only a few weeks away but I “HIGHLY” recommend everyone wait patiently and not succumb to grabbing it from the torrents.  #1, it’s illegal and #2, it’s dangerous as almost all code off those sites is tainted with malicious software.   All in all, not bad!  Not bad at all!
