I finally made the change to Windows 7, and I have to say, "I love it!". I love the new taskbar. It makes it much more efficient. Everything just seems a lot smoother than what XP was. Most programs out are also compatible now too, especially with 64-bit. I'm happy about the partnerships between companies to get things working properly.

The only grudge I have right now is that the hover times on the taskbar are slow. I want to change that. Does anyone know the registry key location to change that?

I made the switch to 7100 lastweek, alot more stable on my machine than 7077 was. 64bit FTW

Same here, I got one of the torrent copies of x64. AFAIK it's the same.
