Have it on my PC at work. Seems pretty stable for a RC. IE has crashed a fair bit today and from time to time the PC hangs for a few seconds.
Just downloaded Excahnge 2010 beta to have a play with

How would I go about getting this for my netbook?
I would want the most legit way but without paying for it

I've had 64bit on my machine now for a few days, and I'm very impressed with it. My first change was also to messenger - how annoying it was to have it lurking on the taskbar
Only issue I've got so far is my wireless card. Windows had their own drivers for it nps - but it's slow as hell, can only download at about 15kb/s when on wireless so gonna dig up some drivers over the next couple of days.
When I'm physically plugged in - my connection is fine.
Oh, google chrome needs a bit of a bodged runline to make it work in Windows7 too, but google are working on that for their next release.

I like the look of it. I think I'll wait until the release version is out and get it on MSDN

Windows 7 Virtual XP mode is also great imo, incredibly fast too.
I have a USB-serial adapter which will only work in XP so its a great feature imo.
That sounds like an Apple feature to me

Why would that be an 'apple feature'

Because on OSX you can go back to legacy versions to run legacy software and hardware. Really useful
Also, please take my comment in jest because... Figure it out yourself actually.

It needs –in-process-plugins adding to the shortcut.

Microsoft have clearly copied Apple with regards the Task Bar on Windows 7. Server 2008 R2 is going to contain this feature too

yeah thats what I thought funny enough! The mac can see the windows7 pc, but when you try to connect its connection fails. I managed to get the pc to see the mac but it wouldn't work that way either and then I lost all sight on the mac on the pc.
