re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
Are getting emails a problem on this os. As last time I had a serious problem and I had to get rid of it. I would normally ask my beta tester about this. But he seems to be busy right now

Think 'sacrificial' guys..

This is still a 'beta' release. Do NOT install it on any machine that matters to you, unless you have a full disk image backup.

re: [MERGED] The Windows 7 Thread
I got Windows 7 up and running - I like it already.

Downside is i'm missing a drive. It's there in disk management but not under explorer (not a big problem as it only has media files on it).
