hey ronnie you seem to have all the answers so far. i'm still trying to figure out why win 7 beta is slow you know laggin big time, typing internet startup, boot up and shut down. i'm just not getting the answers i want but what the hell this is a beta version i guess it can't be perfect just yet right. so far i've been trying out the entire op system and so far so good just a few wierd things that don't match up to the hype on the win 7 beta like some videos from microsoft those 2 dudes that talk about the operating system they said that virtually shut down times and boot up times are nil for waiting times so far its taken me more then 45 seconds to boot up, to shut down maybe 30-45 seconds i'm looking at or thought it would be like 3-5 seconds but i know its not a perfect world. and something else i've notice that dragging the windows to either side is suppose to put the windows in side by side view, well why do we have to drag the windows so far off the screen to get that result it should only require 10%-15% of the window off screen, well anyways mayber you can answer those question you might have more of an overview on the program. I only started using it 2 1/2 days ago non stop haven't been off the thing in like 36hours. say e-mail me with your thoughts on this at quest_4_tribal@hotmail.com
