Between Bag End & Orodruin

Well it’s lasted longer than a couple of friends tipped, and I’m still impressed. It looks like MS might actually have a winner here. Certainly it’s possible to be significantly more productive with the GUI in this OS than ANY previous Windows. Between those improvements, and the Powershell that they’ve been pushing with their new generation of products, I think that this is a strong move forward on MS’ part. I could easily be persuaded to purchase this Version of their OS. This is what Vista SHOULD have been. Don’t waste your time with the 32bit version, if you’ve got the hardware go 64bit. Whether you run any other 64bit programs or not, you’re going to see significant performance increases out of your box. I benchmarked a good 20% better in Supreme Commander, and I’ve noticed much better CPU and Memory Management with regard to the system as a whole while REALLY giving it a workout. I can’t imagine such aspects disappearing in the Retail Product that’s forthcoming.
