have you seen that video on youtube that Microsoft themselves posted about windows 7 activation and how easy and fun it is to do??
'with product activation, you'll get the full benefit of running windows, including the endless and seemingly pointless security updates that never-ever-seem to stop that we just dish out to make you feel better when actually their doing nothing but automatically telling us how much porn you watch, and if that wasn't good enough, it will nag you like an over enthusiastic nephew that never ever stops with the questions, and if you don't activate they will just keep on coming until we lock your computer down so that it is so completely crippled that turning it on just creates problems of their own entity. And all this for optional updates that enhance your operating systems automatic blue screen of death rates and added hardware support that allows all of your devices that you currently use to not work at all in any way so that you have to a Microsoft support technician parter whatever for £20,000 a minute not including the phone bill, which you don't want to know to have him on the phone for 8 and a half hours for him to go "urgh i don't" know and hang up on you! all to get your computer to turn on the first place!'

No user should ever have to touch such a silly activation process that nags you every 10 seconds like a bull fucking terrier!

Yep, my primary OS- it rocks. I'm just not happy that they took libraries off the start menu...

It's awesome!

Changes from vista (in a nutshell):
  • Vastly improved performance in all sorts of areas (start-up/shutdown, application loads etc.)
  • New taskbar/start menu- really efficient if you embrace it
  • Jump menus (part of the change noted above)
  • Libraries- lets you organise folders from all over your hard disk into consolidated folders (sounds random, but very handy)
  • Aero peek- really slick previews of open windows
  • Improved wireless/power options
  • UAC less irritating
  • Support for various new hardware technologies
  • New devices and printers section, with 'device experiences' (fancy name for pictures of your devices, but hey- it's cool)
  • IE 8 (not a change I care about particularly...)
  • Less crap bundled with windows
  • Aero snap- windows automatically resize when you point them at the edges of the screen = slick.
  • New keyboard shortcuts and improved multi-display support
  • Too much more to list here. Just search for 'windows 7 new features', and you'll see plenty more
:) !

It's alright i still rather Leopard though. The only thing is that i sometimes need to think about what im doing in Leopard because i'm so used to windows.
The fact you cant hit the X to close a program often annoys me.
Snow Leopard :D

I ended up uninstalling Windows 7 because my anti-virus and other programs didnt work and it just annoyed me so i deleted the partition and have stayed on Windows Vista (Heaven forbid) ever since.

You know that someone has got hold the RTM version of windows 7?! (If you want the site PM me) ;) When you download it pesters you for a license key after 30 days, but some guy made a program (I can't say the name of the program on the forums, but if you want it just PM me...) ;)
This program does the following:
What ********* does is that when executed, it stops and changes the startup type of sppsvc (Software Protection), sppuinotify (SPP Notification Service) and SLUINotify (SL UI Notification Service) services to disable. Then, then ********* simply takes ownership and full control permissions on the following files, before backing them up and finally deleting them away.
%SYSPATH%\SLLUA.exe
%SYSPATH%\sppsvc.exe
%SYSPATH%\SLUI.exe
%SYSPATH%\sppuinotify.dll
%SYSPATH%\SLUINotify.dll

This is what the results are:

And no, my name is not Marcio, it's just the first picture on google images when you search for the program...
You can probably guess my name from looking at the website on my sig... ;)
