Hello I have a desktop computer in which I installed windows 7 RC for a few days. That computer has two hard drives, so I keep my documents on the one without the OS. Some time later, I reinstalled windows XP, removing completely windows 7 (complete format). The thing is, when I tried to...

With Windows 7 due out later this month, many of you are no doubt counting the days until release. I've played with both the beta and RC of Microsoft's latest OS, and quite honestly, I liked what I saw. If this had come out in 2006 when 'Longhorn' was promised, I have no doubt that I would not...
