Windows 7; What's dat?

Re 'Found here: http://www.funkytoad' bit missing from address.

Sorry, no idea how I messed that one up: http://www.funkytoad.com/

Now that I have been operating windows 7 for a number of weeks I have to concede that it is a great OS and very stable. My first attempts at installing it were, as reported, a disaster but once those problems were overcome I began to settle down to using W7 and I am delighted. I am now thinking of purchasing another and installing it on the goodlady's laptop. She has Vista which is not a patch on W7 especially as it keeps freezing, a problem that I have not been able to resolve.

Make sure you run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor on her laptop first, make sure there will be no problems.

After seeing the full vers out, which is not any diff in the rc ver, This old boy will be going to 7 myself, just a sad fact that I will still be using my old pc of win xp due to old database programs I use for info. That program and other I still use does not work with 7 wish it did, plus the fact I do not have a year to build a new database from scratch with a newer database program and learning it. I did not have a chance to use another machine to test the xp mode that come with 7, just not enough time to work on it atm. But as for 7 I really like it, a few quirks, but all in all 7 so far has and is doing a good job, looks like MS did something right for a change.

By way of a postscript to my last submission; just resolved the freezing on my wife's Vista OS. The answer was probably obvious but overlooked. I downloaded Vista's SP2; end of freezing! I wonder how many others suffered this problem; it seems to have been connected to the ATI graphic card or so PcPitstop suggested. Don't know enough of the technical aspect to add more. May be it was a driver fault.
