Windows 7 No problem yet using Windows 7!

[twincitybulldog]

I have to say that since I loaded Windows 7 on my laptop, I have had no major problems with this OS.
I have had minor glitches that I had to work through, but so far everything has been flawless.
All my drivers for my laptop was loaded automatically and I had to do nothing as far as drivers was concerned.
All the software loaded fine with the exception of HP Printer, which I loaded as Vista clone. I am using it wirelessly and it works fine.
I have downloaded all of Windows updates and all of my personal files. Configured all Email accounts using Windows mail.
So far I am very happy, as everything is working flawlessly.
I would recommend burning a Windows repair disk just in case you have to do a boot to fix.
I am using Windows 7 as my main OS. I have Vista on another hard drive as a backup.
