Still running XP?
forevr:
Windows 7 Final RTM is out now which is pretty much the way it'll be when released.
I have been using it for a week now and it works like a charm. No problems that couldn't be fixed within minutes.

Many of you know my infamous reputation of hating anything begining with "MS". However, despite that I have to say that Win7 seems to have a lot of polish and sex appeal. I've seen lists of changes and various benchmarks. All in all, it's shaped up very nicely as far as it's software side goes.
Now I just wish linux would get smart and better polish it's over all desktop appeal. Guess I'll have to get my lazy butt off the couch and start coding (not that it would really even do much good) :-[
PS:
Hmmm.... Maybe I should have posted this on the win7 thread.... o well >_>

Well... There is Red Hat and Novell. And Many of the software projects are funded from outside sources. But I'm hoping that google and it's new linux distro will help to contribute even more.

Companies are the only ones who pay for Linux, which is why it's a damn good server platform, and has crappy UI. But, OT.
