• Windows 7 RC Feels Very Stable

  I upgraded to Win7rc as fast as I could from the beta and pretty much all the problems I had on the beta are gone! I’ve never experienced a beta OS as stable as this one, it’s nothing short of impressive. Hangs on reboot/shutdown are gone. Annoying stuttering Read More...

  Glad to read about the upcoming RC release of Windows 7 . Just wondering how I should “migrate” to the RC from by current beta as I’ve spent days and days to get it in pretty good shape.

• Restored 64-bit Windows 7 Beta from Windows Home Server Backup on a DELL Laptop

  The HD of the new DELL Precision M4400 I have crashed, burned and died yesterday. I heard the screams 3 rooms away while drinking my morning coffee. It was horrific.

  I’m having problems in my 64 bit Windows 7 beta with the built in support for unzipping zip-files containing *lots* of files. It often hangs near the end and I have to reboot to sort things out.

  I’ve blogged earlier about the problems with Cassini and WCF on Windows 7 Beta (build 7000) and your best bet is to install IIS locally test your services in there.

• Turn Windows 7 Features On or Off

  I’m trying to install/add IIS features to my Windows 7 beta build 7000 laptop. You got pretty fine grained control over these features in Windows 7, and it’s not easy to know what you really need.

• My Windows 7 Beta Installation is More Stable Now

  I think I got most things sorted with my Windows 7 Beta installation now. When I uninstalled the “half new” version of Virtual CloneDrive I had, things started to work way, way better.

• More Setting Up Windows 7

  I keep installing programs on my new Dell m4400 running Windows 7 (build 7000). Unfortunately the “Easy Transfer” didn’t go all the way.
