Made the jump to windows 7 on the 5th. So far has seemed alright right. Only problems im having is any videos i watch are very pixelated. Have tried vlc, sm player, wmc and others. With no luck. Only other complaint is not being able to find a driver for my Belking N52 game pad lol. Anyway off to try to find some codecs that work on win 7.

What do you mean very pixellated?

I hope it's not youtube on 52'' lcd TV - that would be very pixellated no matter what you try.

How about Win7 Sample video, 30 seconds of wildlife, it's in Libraries/Videos. Is that pixellated, too?

Any and all videos i try to watch, including the sample. The same computer on xp picture was fine. 22' lcd, 9800 gtx graphic card.

What's your desktop resolution? Do all the icons look ok? What about pictures? Does pixellation appear only in videos?

Didn't use it too much but my first impression is: Windows 7 is just like Vista, except it works.

Just that the CPU and maybe even the Mainboard isn't a 64 Bit hardware. So all you can do is use a 32 bit version.

/edit: got UBUNTU live CD running now....but it doesn't come with any burn software afaics

It does. You might use k3b, brasero, cdrbq, or a zillion of other tools...

Just installed RC1 on my Entertainment Computer - it is a Pentium 3 with 1 GB RAM.

As soon as I open a movie (and this is the main job for this comp) on either VLC player or Win Media Player, BSOD appears.

Re-installed XP and everything works fine...note to self: never change a running system...

The only very single issue I have with Win7, they haven't sussed out all graphics bugs yet.

Full screen youtube makes the video driver crash after a while, regardless of which driver I use.

No BSOD though, just black screen, desktop comes up again after a while saying the graphics driver crashed and restarted.

Also have a program connecting to video surveillance servers (remotely accessed through the 'net) and all I get is black. No images. Works perfectly under XP.

Not tried in that "compatibility" thingy yet though.

be prepared to go through some hassle with the Windows Mobile Device Center if you have a windows mobile phone and want to sync it.

here is a how-to instruction: link

Took a bit of time but worked for me in the end. The Beta versions had no issues about this. One wonders why they took a step backwards here...
