Apparently Windows 7 is pretty good for certain applications.
For example, Flight Simulator X, which is notoriously resource-hungry and stutters on most machines, is very smooth under the new GUI.
See here: http://flightsimulator.ning.com/forum/topics/windows-7-release-candidate
It's only a release candidate for now though and will expire in June 2010, after which your machine will reboot every 2 hours! :D :D

Actually it will reboot after two hours after March 2010. So you must buy the full version before then (unless it's delayed!! ;) )
Also on the MS site it says "please don't test the RC on your primary home or business PC"
You've been warned! Still looks good, though. I think I'll leave it until the full version appears.

I'm still using the public B2, and its got to be the most stable beta OS I've tried.
I need to slap on the RC, but haven't had the time yet :(
-
is it downloadable again?
vistas begging to f**k me off with Aero stealing my ram and slowing things down!

Turn it off. I run mine on the 'Windows Classic' theme. I get all the
better stuff that Vista offers with an 'XP' feel about it.
