im gonna wait for final release too. no use to keep on installing and uninstalling.

also ram consumption depends on how much memory you have. i have 2gb and ram consumption is 850mb right now with firefox open, WMP running in background, 3 messengers running. :)

Counter Strike doesn work in Windows 7 :( Had to do a HELL lot of tweaking in registry before it runs well. Also it needs DEP to be turned off.

Working fine for me. . no issues AT ALL !

One of the best things I've liked in Win 7 is the shortcut keys.

Win + down arrow minimises the window, similarly Win + left/right aligns half of the active window to the left/right side and Win + up arrow maximises the window.

Also Shift + Click on any Application on the taskbar opens a new window of the Application. For ex Shift + Clicking on the excel shortcut opens a new Excel Blank Spreadsheet.

^ Yep... the UI is more interactive and in good, productive way.

The same Shift + Click operation can be done using middle-click on mouse. Middle click on application icon in taskbar and it will spawn another instance of the application. Hold your mouse on the app icon on taskbar and it will show thumbnail preview, now middle-click on the any of the thumbnail to close that window. :)

I had seen those shortcuts on some website. Just look in the help file for shortcuts.

Some cool ones

Win + Spacebar - Previews desktop/ Equivalent to the preview desktop thing on right

Win + Number - Opens the application that's pinned to ur taskbar. Add a shift and it opens a new instance of the program...

Win + P - Opens the projector options
