Win7, FBReader, 3Qi and the ability to work on a 10-12" device OUTSIDE....OUTSTANDING...

Win 7 is great. I've been using it since just before build 7077, which I upgraded too once that was released and am still using it (I believe 7201 just leaked)
it's a great system, the smart bar is great. its stable. anything that works with vista works with win 7, older programs are a bit more stable, but anything that doesn't work you should really be looking for a replacement, because its so old and lacks support.
My Install is currently at 46 gb, but that is with file versioning turned on, and full MSOFFICE07 and CS4 Installed too. it uses less than 2 gigs of ram (I have 4 installed, can only see 3 due to x86... my laptop is missing some x64 drivers) sidebar is currently using half a gig of ram (its been on for like 3 weeks, only sleep mode sometimes. Firefox is at 300 megs, and so is Everything (which accumulates as well over time. a quick restart of that and its at 15 megs again. I don't think is uses much more ram than XP all in all. (xp can fill just as easily, but when was the last time anyone tried to use xp with 256 megs of ram? its impossibly slow. it doesn't hit its stride to 1 gig, and zooms as 2 gigs, win 7 zooms at 2 gigs too)
