running it as a media server down stairs (Ultimate Version), i like it.

Its what Vista should have been in my view, its much less resouce hungry. It runs well on old hardware, and so far had no issues with old devices running on it. (old USB WiFi stick worked in seconds)

So far its been quite reliable and fast  :y

Good reports from what I have read on the forum.

I was peeved with myself for not downloading the Beta Trial of W7.  Never seen it or Vusta in action but would rather try before I buy.

Depends on your definition of "any good" really, but it does everything I need.

any better than vista
There aren't enough free characters left in this text box to list how much more it pisses all over Vista.

Just been helping my dad install his ADSL connection on it but no joy as PIPEX don't support USB modems on win 7 so at last he will ditch them and get free internet with sky with a wireless connection!!

What do Pipex have to do with that?

Get yourself an ADSL wireless router (£30-£40) plug that in, setup the configuration in the web interface, job done!

Hi purchased home premium and loaded it onto a 1 year old sony vaio, installed fine but after approx 10 mins a diag box kept popping up stating that the battery was not installed correctly and shutting the laptop down, it is installed correctly and was running on mains, could not resolve problem so has been removed and currently on vista again.

and another

"Uninstall the sony vaio battery checker utility or disable isbmgr.exe from running at startup with msconfig (click start->run and type msconfig"

They supplied the original modem and aren't offering support on win 7 for them but still support xp and vista. I am alright though as I am on cable. (but have been nagging my dad to get a adsl wireless for ages) :y
