Re: Windows 7 beta has leaked!

Yeah, I'm reading his writeup right now. Interesting note about Word 07 freezing randomly twice. I'll have to see if I can replicate it, as well as see if that problem exists with Office 03.

Burn iso files directly in OS!
One very little but nifty thing I found, not sure if it's in Vista..

See attached image.

Edit: Second nifty feature: if you set your desktop to a theme, the wallpaper automatically rotates between a set of images related to your theme.

It's not. I've always used ISO Recorder for those functions: »isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/Vista.htm. It hooks into the built-in burning software and is simply nothing more than an interface but it does what it says and looks similar to what Microsoft has created there. I should also point out Microsoft themselves even suggested in a KB article, ISO Recorder for Vista and XP users that don't want to pay for Nero or similar.

Edit: Oooo automatically changing wallpaper, that's something else I've wanted.

Think I should do a write up on Windows 7 here on BBR?

Another nifty little thing: bottom right corner, click the little rectangular bar and it goes to the desktop.

There are definitely UI inconsistencies, looks like a mash of windows 7 and vista together. Paint makes good use of the ribbon interface though.

Comcast of NJ II sucks. Period.
25 HD channels compared to the average 32 or so.

Downloadable themes finally! Not like XP where you had to hack the uxtheme file.

Ribbon interface in paint? Ugh well I guess it's inevitable. I've yet to find everything that's "hidden" in Office and now they're putting it in the other apps? Say, did you try office 03 yet? I've never tried it on Vista but I've heard it won't install.

I have Office 03 on my one Vista install. I'm actually about to go on an expedition and look for my Office 03 disc.

Edit: installing office 03 as we speak.

edit2: working great so far.
