Note sure what some may not like about the IDE but I think it looks great. And of course the multi monitor support = :eek2:!Quote:

I like it too but I've seen at least one other thread with criticisms. I think they could be accounted for by its beta status though.Quote:

Entity X said it took 2 hours and 40 minutes to defrag supposedly with the Vista program.

Yeah, however, I only have a enough room in my tower for 2/3 hard drives! I did not want to waste my money buying small drives when I did not have enough space in the tower to install them nor the drives only 300GB. As I stated above my pc's "c:\" drive is at 240GB of capacity.Quote:

Microsoft are so lazy. It's been August 6 over there for almost 7 hours now! It's 10 minutes to August 7 here and it's a school night so I have to go to bed! Why wasn't someone there to make Win7 available at 12:00:01 in Redmond? I could have had several systems up and running by now. :(
/me taps foot.
/me looks at watch.
:(
Maybe it wont happen today? There was a bug found int he RTM version - http://winbeta.org/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=34&t=10084
Who knows but it should have been posted already. :(
That makes my new computer I just finished putting together yesterday sad. :cry:Quote:

Downloading :D
What version are you gyys downloading? 32 or 64 bit?
Just dont go running chkdsk on any secondary drives guys :P
Just started downloading x64 at 8:20 AM. Should be done when I get home from work. I'll download x86 later during my ISP's off-peak period.Quote:

I'm probably going to download 32 bit Ultimate.
Yes, you are correct!Quote:

Don't forget that Virtual PC doesn't support 64-bit client OSes so, even if you install on a 64-bit host. As such the x86 version will be required for virtual machines on VPC. I haven't tested out the new virtualisation support in Win7 but I don't think it extends to 64-bit clients.
So best to install 64 bit and run a vm for the 32 bit as we still need to develop with VB6 :D
Hyper V Server supports 64 bit OS's so if you have a spare PC that you can stick that on then jobs a good'un (its free)Quote:

Do I have a spare machine that supports virtualization? No :(
I plan on dling x64 Ultimate next November and installing it on my laptop first, then later for dev desktop.
Is there anything w/ VS 2005/2008 and x64 Windows I should know about? I'll be running VS 2005 & VS 2008 on Win7 for both my laptop and my desktop.
The only thing I can think of is that you'll need a hotfix for SQL Server Express 2008 support in VS 2008, unless SP2 has been released by then.Quote:

I'll be keeping an XP vm for vb6 and VS 2003 (not that I use VS 2003 much anymore, I actually use vb6 more than VS2003)Quote:

Woo, just found out that work has a technet subscription...Downloading 7 as I type this :D
Ehm...I've several VS 2003 solutions in production so I have to install VS 2003. Once I fire up the installation, I get the well-known message:
"This machine is missing components required for local Web application and Web service development..."
and Front Page Server Extensions (FPSE) are missing. After some surprise of not being able to install them by turining windows features on and off (they're not included), I came across a few posts which indidate that FPSE are not supported for Win7 and they are no plans to support them on Win7.
Can anyone confirm this? If it's true, it's a problem that I can't work around.
