Windows 7
Lucky for me, since I’m running Windows 7 RTM, I found out that Window Media Player 12, support the m2ts HD file format for streaming to my PS3. In the past, I always used Tversity, Twonky Media, etc. But the days of that are gone my friends. Overall, didn’t find any issues in streaming HD content, looked just as good, and hey, it’s free. No more searching on warez-bb.org or anything.
Now, one thing that always helps is having a 1000mb connection from my box to the PS3. Having this, no matter what program you’re using to stream, really cuts down on any buffering issues you might see, when compared to streaming the same video or wireless, or even a 100mb connection.

So I just got done installing Windows 7 RTM on my mac book pro, boot camp style. People, I have to admit, compared to Vista, this OS has come along way. Is it perfect, everything we need and more, no, but in every aspect I can see as of now, it puts Vista to shame.
The only issue I had after installing was no audio. Even installing the Boot Camp drivers, I was un-able to get any audio. I noticed that on the audio head phone jack, that it was red. Interesting I though, because when I’m running Leopard, that does not happen. So after much googling, I found that downloading the Realtek High Definition Audio and installing, finally gave me what I was looking for, sound!

Other than the audio issue, everything else seems to be working quite well. One thing I really like, which only seems to work on IE8, not on Google Chrome, is if you have multiple tabs open, and move the mouse over the IE thumbnail, you get a snap shot of all your open tabs.

For starters, it’s more stable than Vista, if that tells you anything. No, but for being in a beta phase, I’m quite impressed with the features and design interface of Windows 7. Also, since I’ve only ran this on my Mac via VMware, and not on a dedicated box, the OS seemed to handle better than Vista did than on my same mac.
But I’m still let down in that maneuvering throughout the OS is still as difficult as Vista. I was really hoping they would come out with a new and improved process of navigating through the GUI. As far as I can tell, exact same as Vista, big let down there.
I’m not sure what the exact number is, but I hear Microsoft was going to be releasing the OS with 5 different variations? Now this is where Microsoft needs to get a grip. Coming out with all these Starter Editions, Business Editions, etc, is just plain out retarded (uh oh, politically incorrect ). This is where Microsoft should look to the competition for answers, and take some advice. Come out with 1 edition, not 5, not 6, not 7, but 1 release.
