Windows 7

Thanks for that link Rico! I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta and it showed several incompatibility issues. So, I'll not be upgrading anytime soon.

I would not upgrade unless you have a fairly new machine.  Something much more than say 2 years or older I wouldn't do it.  Another good check is if you are running Vista, you should at some point be able to use Win 7.  If you have Win XP, I really would be cautious unless you know what you are doing.  Even Microsoft is making that type of suggestion.

True but at least they have a program designed for XP to migrate all your important stuff on over once you have installed it. The problem is that it has to be on another computer or thru a USB cable. I'll probably just wait until my PC gives up the ghost. I guess I could install it on my laptop though. It currently has Vista.

I was thinking about it for my laptop as well. It's a core2 duo with 2 gigs of ram. All i have to do according to the upgrade advisor is flash the bios. That seems like a pretty random thing to do but i checked and there is indeed a bios update for my specific machine (ver a09 to a17).

I looked at some features.  Pinning?  This is just adding a shortcut to the quick start, right?  Is there something to this?

I liked the shake feature to minimize all other windows.  I have a meeting with a rep in a few days - hoping to get wowed
