Secretly I believe if he was to use and like Vista the multi-verse would implode.

I can't tell the difference between this win7 and Vista. so far its identical, except the creative drivers won't install, of course.

So if the creative drivers won't install, it is actually identical to Vista then.

Well I am running VISTA and my good old X-FI Fatality Pro Series, and it works flawless, using the VISTA drivers.

I can't believe people are judging functionality based on a non official alpha LOL

Remember Windows XP, same thing was said about drivers too.

Sorry, I should have said that my creative Vista drivers installed fine once they finally released a 64 bit version, I just lost a bunch of functionality in the card until a privateer fixed Creative's drivers for them. I was just trying to make a joke.

I got them to install...

Manually extract the file off Creative's website with WinRAR then run the setup under compatibility mode for Vista. It'll get you stereo sound.

Thanks for the tip!

Like no screenshots.. c'mon people..

I'm just wondering if it is the same as Vista, probably comes to mind that all those people who said Windows 7 is just Vista with a service pack might be true, could be just another way for Microsoft to sell another OS and make more money, rather than to save the hassle and just get out a Service Pack for VISTA, that will fix most issues really.

But yest again this is an Alpha version, nothing is final, things could drastically change, hopefully it is not as annoying as some things in Vista.

sorry to go offtopic, but games like COD4 do they run any better in Vista than XP, if so I may just try Vista for the hek of it .. But I'm still a die hard XP fan.

Win7 has a SuperBar. That's what I wanted to try out. But it is disabled in this release so thats why it is exactly like vista. Check out the demo:
