Off the subject, I still am not used to, nor convinved that I will like, W7's lack of a file tree. Been using tht to navigate WIndows' files since the beginning of Windows.

My W7 install is only a few months old and I haven't put anything on it that I couldn't stand to lose, yet. I do need to start looking for some good apps to back-up and manage my drives. I mostly miss Diskeeper for the "running" defrag. My XP HDD has all the good stuff on it!

Are you saying you believe that software I have, i.e. Acronis products (circa 2006), etc. obviously developed under the 32 bit platform, may very well function under a 64 bit W7 OS? 32 vs 64 and W7 vs XP? Kind of a new scenario here...sorry ;)

I do know that software is one of the biggest noncompatability issues going, between 32 and 64 bit OS's. Any 32 bit programs will not work in a W7 64 bit environment.

I have the RC build 7100 installed. Intially the beta was fast on the IE connection and then it got worse. When I went to the RC version it was lightening quick, but then slowed down, too. I reinstalled the RC twice and the third time, I watched what I installed, to determine if it was apps...
