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I really like the new features, and already when I go back to Vista it feels out of date.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

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
