Not going to lie...I use pirated programs. No way, would I ever even consider using a pirated OS if I cared anything at all about that computer's use and contents.

I've been using the RC of Win7 since June and I really liked it. My laptop came with Vista Home so you know why I moved to 7 so fast Installed the "Home Upgrade" version of 7 yesterday and it's good so far. My laptop in the exact same place with no router changes now gets 5 bars of WiFi constantly instead of 2-4.

Only downsides are 2, related, half caused by Windows, half by ATI. This laptop has a shitty integrated video card, and I previously had ATI Catalyst installed with the RC. Now, it won't go to setup (installs...but no shortcut, no way to configure it) with the Vista/7 version. ATI's fault.

Install an older version, and Windows blocks it since it's "For XP" and I don't have Ultimate with XP Mode. Window's fault.

So now I'm running the laptop with an uncalibrated monitor and it looks like ass At least my desktop is good for editing photos. Can't wait till ATI fixes that issue.
