I tried the DP, and the CP.
The CP (32-bit) is running on my other laptop, the 64-bit version has been and gone from this one.
I'm not even going to bother with the RC at this stage.
And won't be touching the retail version. Well, maybe after SP2, when/if they realise and correct
what they've done (hopefully).
No Start button or menu, no Aero, the GHASTLY Metro idea, no Media Centre, no DVD playback, this
insidious 'cloud' they want to force me into, secure-boot, and all the rest may have been acceptable if
there was a choice.
But, nooooooo...M$ know better than me what I want and what I do? I doubt that.
As I've said earlier, that's a shame, because there's a great little OS hidden in there
Long live Windows 7, which will probably go down in history as Microsoft's finest effort.
They should have put the (few, IMO) improvements (Task Manager, file-copy, etc) into a Service
Pack for Win 7 and left it at that.
(And I've used them all, since Win 3.0.)
