Windows 7...to install or not to

[dangel]

Why should I need a search engine and to wade through ****ty blogs and forums to find how to change basic settings? Why isn't it just obvious (the way, as you say, it is in W7)?

You shouldn't - you l33tness alone should of allowed you to find it http://www.google.co.uk/search?clien...utf-8&oe=utf-8 First hit = source of pic.

But yes, MS agreed with you (and I btw) and moved the setting - so now it er.. is obvious. Or a least will be shortly. There's a stack of other stuff too - like "Screen resolution" and "Gadgets" joining "Personalize" on the desktop right click menu - kinda what I refering to earlier (evolutionary). I rather wish it didn't take them so long and they'd be willing to drill the changes right the way down through the control panel system (e.g. the admin items are still XP-style).

edit2: Virtual CloneDrive works and is free.
even if windows does show me as having a BD rom drive now

BTW, I just tried VCD today and it didn't work. It didn't break windows like MagicIso/magicDisc did, it just failed to even start a virtual drive.

I was having that problem, run the program and tell it to make 2 virtual drives, reboot, and then run it again, and then i had a BD-ROM drive appear in Computer which when you right click gives the option to mount images, not as good as others, but at least it works

How much responsive are peoples machines running this beta of 7 compared to the nice retail version of vista x32 or x64??
