Another Cool Feature included in Windows 7 and Vista is a more awesome looking alt tab type of program. Just hold the windows key and tab and you get a 3d alt tab type program switcher.
robbed from ubuntu

Ok....Oh is that all? Nobody cares where its from, its cool it has it.robbed from ubuntu
I disagree, I still find Flip 3D very useful for a quick flick through the windows I have open. I have it programed into my MS Explorer Mouse and still use it often.
Wow, bunch of great info, thanks. And since you seem extremely knowledgeable 'bout this. Answer me this:
Since 7 Beta was much faster and more stable than Vista, I'd' pretty well given up even booting Vista for anything other than paper printing to an old HP Inkjet; just did all my work in 7. Now that the RC is out and good for a year (give or take) and everything works including the printer what do you think about a complete reform of the hard drive and a clean install? Too big a gamble at this stage? Prior to the release of 7 I was required to maintain overactive sense of humor to keep from going nuts working on Vista, with 7 I can appreciate the 'fighting fish' joke.
Thanks again for the tips. Docking the task bar on the right is especially helpful. I turned off the auto-hide feature and widened it to a couple of hundred pixels or so. The programs butt up to it and I can quickly bounce between programs.
I don't know what your talking about support wise with Microsoft. The one time I asked them for support on Windows Movie Maker, it was some of the best I've ever had. Not only were the tech people friendly and helpful, but when I accidentally Xed out during a chat session, they called my phone and made sure everything was alright, and then got me reconnected to the guy I was working with. And all of this was free.I used Ubuntu, it's stable in it's boring out of the box form. Once you start tweaking it. It becomes very unstable. The cube while it looks cool. Is pretty useless when it comes down to it. The driver support is terrible. Never could get my printer to work properly and forget the scanner. Your forced to use their software and while they have some very good ones. Everything is geared towards windows. There are always programs that you can't use with linux. Like my slingbox, and try and play most poker sites with it. Yeh you can do it through Wine, but it's crap. I tweaked the hell out of it. Thats the fun part but you CAN NOT get it to look as good as windows. It is safe from virus, but I have no problem paying for Norton, and I have never had a virus in all my life. Ubuntu has great community support and it's free. I would use it if I could'nt afford an operating system as good as windows. Windows could learn a lesson from Ubuntu on support though. You would think with all the money they make they could at least offer free support.
This Windows 7 is really cool, but I wish I could keep it in this RC form because once they bloat the hell out of it. I don't think it's going to run this smoothly.

I agree with you on the linux stuff. It is good for crappy computers that can't handle a lot though.

Thats cool. I must have had a bad experience then. I remember they wanted me to pay for the assistance I was looking for, but I can't remember all the details now.
Linux is still crap though. I gave it a serious try, several months (ubuntu and kde). KDE looks pretty good graphically but it's buggy and has all the same issues Ubuntu has.
