    I probably will not continue using W7 on this machine and wont install it on the other. On this machine with 2 different web browsers open and watching a video, the browsers work OK and the video skips badly. For my use 2Gs of memory isnt enough for W7 and my machines max out at 2Gs. Im running 3 monitors on this machine and its a lower end unit. Better machines with only 1 monitor would run W7 without any of the issues Im having.

    The gadgets are cool, the animated windows are cool but take up memory and slow things down a little bit on my setup. I couldnt get Ultramon to work unless I used the Classic theme another minus for me as I have multiple monitors on both machines and I like the animated windows W7 offered.

    I was realy impressed with how W7 didnt need any setup for multiple monitors with 2 different graphics cards, I did not like that I couldnt find a way to have different desktops for each monitor.

    Im getting a 3rd computer in the next couple of days and will dual boot W7 and Ubuntu on it with a single monitor.

    Maybe if Im able to strip W7 down the way Ive been able to strip XP down Ill run it on this machine again.

    ETA: Way better then Vista but my stripped down version of XP is still faster.
