slower, yes. By much, no.
And while you say that your screen is big enough, my resolution of 1600x1200 was not enough to fit everything at times and then the usability went down alot i think... cant even quite remember those times
This way its also easier to see every app running, because they're closer together.
You can also middle click on icons on the bar to start a new instance of the application, and middle click the preview window to close that instance. Makes things faster.
And whats really awesome is that one can trigger all taskbar entries by WIN + <number>, which is another reason for grouped icons, as one only has 10 numbers
I remember constantly having "drivers stopped responding" with ATI pos card, but now I'm on my 3rd Nvidia card and never had a single problem on any OS <3
I used to get "Nvlddmkm stopped responding" all the time when I had my Nvidia pos card but with ATI I've never had one of those either
I had that with my 8800 GTX. Haven't had it one single time with my 280 GTX.
The 8800 GTX card was the only card I had problems with from Nvidia.
I have NEVER had an ATI card that didn't give me some kind of problems ranging from refusing to install to driver issues with games.

So, after reading these articles about the key stolen, it appears MS will not blacklist the Lenovo key and thus this crack+key will continue to work. Well thats good news if Im reading it correclty.
I went ahead and switched over to Windows 7 pro 64. Wow.
What an improvement. Everything seems to run faster (like Photoshop).
And some stuff that didn't work in Vsita 64 business, runs like a treat in this. ARMA wouldn't run for shit under Vista 64 Business but it runs fine and dandy under Windows 7 pr 64.
Extremely happy so far.

Kinda a similar experience here, installed it yesterday, took a few hours to readjust everything and so on but the OS seems a bit more respensive than Vista x64, no changes in games or such though, performance remains more or less the same and no compatibility problems either.
(Some of the features and layout changes take a while to get used to but I'm getting the hang of things, finding the error report screen and turning of hibernation was a bit cumbersome but worked quite OK after searching around a bit via Google.)
Activated just fine as well albeit we'll see how long it'll last, though MS didn't do that much for Vista outside of a few smaller attempts.
Not much else to say about, nice improvement of Windows.
(That performance rating kinda dislikes my HD though, score is 7.3 for everything aside from game graphics which is 7.1 and the HD speed which is 5.9, still quite good for a TB drive, Samsung F1, but I guess with SSD's and 10.000 RPM Velociraptors available it's rated as a bit slow.)
Just out of intrest is it possible just to 'upgrade' with the version that is currently floating about - i.e not having to reinstall all my crap?
at the beginning of the installer you choose upgrade or new install ... if you choose new your windows dir and prog files dir goes into a backup folder. oh, and I think you can only upgrade from vista.

True but you need to do some other settings (Command prompt.) to truly turn it off (When done it'll also remove some of those options in the power configuration menu.), it left the hibernation system file for example and getting rid of that freed up a bit of disc space.
Im confoosed Jb, disabling in power options lid/disk and monitor to never hibernate or shutof has never given me any problems. Its always worked.. Vista and win7..
What is this hibfil.sys file == ram amount size about? I searched I have no hibfil.sys file.. Im guessing the power control stuff works? Otherwise what is the reason behind command prompt hiberfil.sys deletion?
Does it sometimes misbehave or something? Cant really see any clear reason in that link for using the command line for shutting off of the file, its like its almost just another way to use the gui for doing it?
As it states, Method 1/2/3 etc etc so its just a variation on what you can do, or is there inherant flawas with this and that is why method 1 is used?
It's just a safety precaution I've done since XP, I usually don't use power saving features so I turn them off, noticed hibfile.sys or what it's name was on C:\ when browsing hidden files and folders even after turining of the functionality via the control panel so I googled a bit and found that link, followed the command line parameter and the file got deleted, re enabled it via the same parameter and the file returned even though the power saving options were unaltered.
No reason to waste four GB for something I'm not using so that's why I disabled it, unsure how well it actually works and I'm sure it's a good idea though I rarely power down the computer.
(We've had some problems on it where I work as the machines power off and then when attempted to wake them they power on but can't resume the OS, but those computers are quite old and can't really handle Vista so they're quite slow with it which might have something to do with the problem, plus all applications and stuff that are constantly loaded onto them.)
