Windows 7
I installed Windows 7 today…HOLY CRAP. It’s pretty freaking awesome.
I got it free through MSDNAA (thanks OSU 
), and it works pretty good.
The installation experience was painless, stuck the ISO onto a boot USB drive, and then reformatted my C drive. Formatting a 250gb drive took seconds, and then installation was around 30 minutes or so to unpack everything off the USB drive and install it. It autodetected and installed my video and mobo drivers during installation, and flipped to my native resolution in the middle of the installation. It was pretty sweet.
I haven’t played any games on it yet, but I am totally happy I upgraded from XP to Windows 7. It’s slick.
Coolest feature by far is the Snipping tool. I drag a box in my desktop and it screenshots it. Freaking Awesome.
