What would you consider a reasonable price?

i would say its reasonably priced for the most part, but i have a tv tuner card, and id like to be able to use remote desktop...which is not included in the basic/premium versions.

something kinda cool but weird on my laptop is. When I go away from it long enough, were the screensaver kicks in, or where it shuts the monitor off, when I come back to using it. The screen fades in, instead of just shaking the mouse/clicking the keyboard and it instantly shows back up.

Anyone else having this? Do you like it or not?

This fading, when exactly does it start? Have you already touched anything when it started?

yeah. When I click on a key on the keyboard or shake the mouse.. You know.. the normal way you would get a computer out of sleep mode.. On Vista (and xp for that matter) when you do that, the desktop just shows back up, its like from black to bright... no transition or anything.. But on 7.. It is a slow fading in from black to desktop.

Smooth I gotta say ^^

Anyone had a chance to play around with the home networking features? Isn't there something new in there allows you to setup a "group" or something along those lines?

Time to keep an eye out for any MS offers for a free copy of Win7 when it hits RTM. That's how I got Vista Business + Office 2007 Pro and I just picked up Vista Ultimate the other day at a Technet Event. FFRRRRREEBIES! ;)

EDIT: HomeGroup that is what I was thinking of...

I really like the new features, and already when I go back to Vista it feels out of date. The idea of having to customise it every time a new build is released is a bit off-putting though.

One question: does anybody know how to configure enhancements in WMP12?

it is now in the now playing mode only. just click on the right (on the top) most button in now playing mode. plus WMP 12 has a new Dolby related enhancement as well.

Take a look at Windows Media Center on the XBOX 360. This already has the codename Fiji-now called TV Pack. You can now stream and watch Divx Movies directly from Media Center. Where as before is in the old media extender, you had to go to media blade-videos and then have XBOX download a update to watch Divx from the media blade-videos.

Lots of cool new features for playback, Movie info, New Menu's, New Navigation....Excellent!

So far I'm liking 7. One of my favorite things so far is when I installed it, it automatically edited the bootloader to include both vista and windows 7 since I'm dual booting. Pretty nice...

ive got 30 minutes left, until i can try it out.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
