lol, yeah, maybe the thread title should be changed to just "Windows 7".
My work laptop has win7 and I like it but I don't like the constant updates nagging me, lol.

Thread revival #2.
It's been almost 4.5 years since I've been using Windows 7, and I have to say, I'm generally very satisfied. There have been no annoying re-installs necessary like I mentioned with WinXP in my older post, except for system upgrades as far as I recall. I've even had it pull through (so far) from random freezes that required hard restarts (and I almost always skipped the 'check window/repair windows startup blah blah' screen.. badd I know).
The only downside I can see is that the damn thing creeps up in harddrive space after the periodic updates. I had partitioned 50 gigs for Win7 and thought that would be more than enough (and I always install programs/games as much as I can on another partition to save space on that 50 gig). After the initial install which had over 30 gigs free, I'm down to 10-11 gigs of free space on the Win7 partition. Some of it MAY just be crap I accidentally installed in the default C:\Programs etc. but even then I think I'm going to need to repart soon or just get a separate HDD for Windows 7 and start from scratch. Even emptying out the temp folders and install cabs doesn't seem to free up much.

Well according to Andy and Blaine they've gotten used to it, or was it just Blaine? Hah. Yeah definitely gonna go the same route I did with WinXP and stay with Win7 for as long as I can possibly do so, until the usual 'the 2nd iteration that works,' Windows9 or Whine or Touch These Square Tiles and Boxes is released haha.
