yeah… i really like windows 7
vista gave me at least one freak out every 5 minutes when fixing friend’s computers…
so i sticked to windows xp that worked really well for 4 years without any reinstallation and bigger problems !

but time is running and i was very curious how windows 7 works, so i got me a new laptop c2d 2,2ghz, 4gb, geforce 7800gt, full HD
the release version of windows 7 was offered at my school by the msdn microsoft academic alliance, so why not try it out ?

i must say:

installation worked flawless and quick !
nearly all drivers were included…just the minor workarounds for devices with no win7 driver so far
it looks nice…not like vista: pretty (and) useless…and works like a charm
software compatibility was really good…no big problems at all !
so win7…keep me happy…!

so what else…

today i was experiencing some sound glitches playing mp3 with songbird, sounds like stacks of samples are played double or left out.
i couldn’t find any working solution on the web at all, so i tried out several things that might work…

what worked: open the task manager and go to the task of the music software you are using – put the task into higher priority mode until
your sound output works without skipping and „special effects“

cheerio and happy weekend…
