I installed Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on an HP Pavilion Entertainment Laptop with 6 GB RAM on an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9000 @ 2.00 GHz processor. 

A Little History:  I have been a pro-Microsoft guy for a long, long time.  However, Vista makes me sad.  I have not enjoyed Vista and have resisted using it.  Hearing some of the hype and learning about some of the features of W7, however, piqued my interest.

So far I really enjoy it.  I love the "Pin to Taskbar", "Jump List", and "Pin to Jump List" features.  That is really well thought.  I also like the ability to shake a window and have other windows minimize/restore.

I did find a bug, however, in the screen save.  I chose the "Bubbles" screen saver.  I notice that after about an hour the system locks and the display has alternating white and robin's egg blue vertical lines.  This is likely (IMO) a video card driver-related issue. 

Anyone else?  What do you think of W7?
