What if I my system can't take running the advisor?

Think there's a chance it can run Windows 7

Yeah, seems legit.

Is TechNet Edge that Microsoft service that they gave away free subscriptions of and then bitched that they didn't mean it?

No it isn't, still, lets recall that funny occurrence.

been using this for a while now, and i have to admit, i'm very happy with it. crashes less than vista (even when using IE 8), and seems to run faster while taking up less resources. MS seems to be on to a winner with this one...

I haven't had it crash one time, on me. Vista rarely crashed, as well...but it did crash a couple of times on me.

I like the neat little GUI gadgets and gizmos such as clicking on the title bar and moving the window to the top of the screen. If you do it fast and release the mouse click, it will maximize the window. It's just a nifty way of moving your junk around.

I'm writing a report on Windows 7. I'll post it up here when I'm done. It will cover many things.

7 hasnt crashed on me either since my fresh install this week. my last install had the odd crash in IE, but not to the point that it was a bother.

yeah. i love the window options they've included in this windows. makes everything so much easier...

looking forward to the report...

See below.

Save the attachments.

Then, rename the document to the ".zip" extension, then, unzip the document and you should be able to read it in word. I saved it in 03 format just in case you didn't have 7.
