Windows 7 64bit works!
Windows 7 64bit finally works! This is the first 64bit OS I could really use in my daily acitvities. I tried Vista 64bit, it was unreliable. It would show blue screen right when I am about to make a presentation to the CEO. Until Microsoft released SP1, Vista 64 bit was not usable at all. Then came Windows 7 beta. I immediately tried the 64bit version of Windows 7 beta. It was even worse than Vista. It would crash every now and then – waking up from standby, trying to do livemeeting share, switching screens, plugging in external USB drives and what not. So, I patiently waited for the final version to come out before I get on installing it on all my laptops. Happy to say, the final version works perfectly on HP tx2000 Tablet PC, DELL Vostro 1500, DELL Inspiron 1520. Once you do a full windows update and install some drivers here and there, it all works perfectly. And let me say, Windows 7 is beautiful. I found back the joy of working on computers again!

So, you write code like this:
