I took the time to install the beta WIndows 7 on a spare machine that I have and I am pretty impressed.

Although in typical Microsoft fashion they have loaded it with a lot of useless junk and "pretty things". The base OS seems alot more stable and responsive than Vista Ultimate.

I am just curious if anyone else is using it... and if so, what are your opinions.

I have it on my laptop and also on a Dell Mini 9 netbook.

I like it so far, but I hate the new "Sidebar" which isn't really a Sidebar. With Vista, I had my Sidebar set to "Always on top" which was great with a widescreen monitor. I replaced the new Sidebar with the old Vista one and I'm happy again.

 

I didn't really see a lot of performance difference, but Vista ran pretty quick on my computers anyway. I do like the pretty new taskbar.
