    Wait for Windows 7 RTM, then 99% of games will work...

    You actually think many games will work in W7 Beta?

    GOW, CSS and CoD5 all work with the W7 beta.
    but Steam's having a few issues with it, which in turn is making CSS crash

    Have you tried testing those games for prolonged periods of time? I am sure some bug will make them crash eventually...

    i got through 2 Acts in GOW without a crash this morning, but that's an MS developed game.
    Steam crashes all the sodding time
    and CoD5 i played for about 15 - 20 minutes.
