Other pc's (vista 32bit) can't find the correct driver the printer on windows 7 64-bit pc.

That's because you don't game anymore.

I still have trouble with some graphics card drivers.

Everything seems to work here though =/...Except sometimes Deluge tends to go crazy by refusing to launch

im probably one of the few people who doesn't like win7 that much. It's really identical to Vista.

What's so bad about Vista?

nothing's wrong with vista. in fact, one of the best. performance and stability was bad at launch, due to immature driver support. but that happened to XP as well. one SP later, it's been rock solid. all in all, kena destroyed by so-called "tech" press who think they know more than the creator of the OS. this is why i dislike bloggers. no credibility, no responsibility, just plain public Kow Peh.

have been using Win7 for a week. overall, Vista feels smoother, but that's because it's been polished thoroughly for two years. I really like the new taskbar on Win7. Win explorer seems to be able to handle large folders much better and faster, and the new layout in explorer gives me a "lighter" feel. but they have also taken away some nice touches. say, if you switch from details view to large icons, you lose the top column (anyway to get it back?), so I can't sort files as fast as I could on Vista. whether it resumes from sleep faster than vista really boil down to your definition of "resuming from sleep". Do you stop your stop watch the moment you see the GUI, or you would wait until the PC hit the 100% usable stage? in my case, I go with the latter.

Vista allows me to fully operate the system within 5 secs after displaying the login screen. On Win7, showing the login screen takes about the same, but after I got in, I have to wait for another ~15seconds, waiting for the OS to sort of wake everything else up (the network, the applications..etc).

both are about the same i reckon, but win7 has some good GUI designs that improves usability.

lastly, image-based deployment rocks!♦♠ heart imagex!

A slightly different experience for me.

It feels smooth most of the time, except for some slight hiccup at times while browsing windows explorer. I don't really like the task bar, as it groups all the similar apps in 1 box, quite annoying, although it's a much improved version of XP's group taskbar. I always disable it because it's much faster for me to click on the exact app without additional click, but for Win7, there's no way to disable it anymore.

i'm back to Vista.

despite the many complaints from others, it's actually my fav Windows OS so far and I thought it's a good one.

You can set it to normal with names and not combined.
