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I really like the new features, and already when I go back to Vista it feels out of date.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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.
