Hi,
It's nice to see so much interest in Windows 7.
It's a pity that certain people did not research the new operating system
before making the purchase.
In the UK , if you buy the full Home Premium version you get both the
instalation disk for both the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version.
I would have thought that if you wanted the best of both, then make your
computer dual boot and install both the 32bit and 64bit versions.
As I've stated previously , I bought a new laptop with the 32bit already
preinstalled. I didn't get the instalation disks but had to make my own
recovery disks ( in case of hard-disk failure ).
I find Windows Media Centre as supplied with Win7 a fantastic program.
It does everything in one place that a whole host of programs did in
bits and bobs under XP.
The uncluttered desktop with user programable task bars is a dream to use.
I have in the task bars what I want and in the order I want them.
Another gem is the "gadgets". I have two running all the time, the CPU
meter and the weather.
It runs a whole host of DOS programs including GWBASIC - which I imported
from a WIN98 machine on my network.
The WIN7 machine sees all the windows computers on the LAN and they don't
have to be in the same "workgroup" as the WIN7 computer. Transfering stuff
from and to the WIN7 computer is a doddle.
There are no negatives so far. Well done Microsoft with an exellent
operating system.
73, Pete G6KUI
