| This is what I discovered:
|
| 1. Remember that you must run a clean
| install, which means that your HD has to be
| erased. Some people are saying that this
| lack of upgrading compatibility is
| Microsoft's revenge on you for rejecting
| Vista.
|
| 2. Under 7, some users have reported
| problems with XP compatibility mode. This
| means that some of your programs might
| crash.
|
| 3. Make sure you can locate ALL of your
| drivers for Windows 7. So get ready for a
| good driver hunt...
|
| 4. If you have a laptop, CONSIDER THE
| BATTERY ISSUE.

Windows 7 SP1 Beta and Microsoft Security Essentials Can Fail to Play Nice Together
,----[ Quote ]
| Major upgrades to Windows client and server
| platforms introduce extensive changes both
| on the surface and under-the-hood, down to
| the very core of the operating systems.
| Itâs no wonder then, that the installation
| of new service packs can be prevented by
| programs designed with the specific purpose
| of safeguarding the platformsâ integrity.
| Early adopters deploying the Beta of the
| first Service Pack for Windows 7 and
| Windows Server 2008 R2 can experience
| installation problems if they are running
| security software on their computers.
| According to Microsoft, the issues can
| affect Service Pack 1 (SP1) Beta when
| testers attempt to have it integrated on
| top of Windows 7 RTM and Windows Server
| 2008 R2 RTM on computers where Microsoft
| Security Essentials or Microsoft Forefront
| Client Security are already installed.

| Last Autumn I volunteered to review
| Windows 7. But in the following weeks, I
| found Linux to be preferable in many ways.
| This is pretty significant progress, and
| outside the 'community' has gone largely
| unnoticed, too - I haven't seen all that
| many Ubuntu stories in the Wall Street
| Journal. But what comes next is going to
| be pretty challenging for everyone
| involved â and that's what I'll look at
| here.
