• 06:18 Good morning. Windows 7 RC1 is now available, and I'm downloading it now. microsoft.com/windows7 #
• 07:38 If all is well, I should have the ISO downloaded. #
• 11:54 Dom DeLuise has died Monday. :( #
• 18:26 Okay, time to livetweet my install of Windows 7 RC1. #
• 18:26 DVD burned from download this morning. #
• 18:30 Destination rig is a 3xBoot Dell E1505, 2 gig of Ram, 1.6Ghz Core Duo, 250 gig HD, Nvidia Geforce 7300 Go GPU. It will go on a 40 gig area. #
• 18:30 Booting from the DVD now. #
• 18:33 Booted and at first prompt. Let's see how it screws up my system.. #
• 18:36 Formatted partition. Now slapping the new image in. #
• 18:44 Install going rather quickly. Just hit 100% on Expanding Windows Files... but then it is a imaged drive they're putting on there. #
• 18:51 And once again Windows has replaced the MBR boot record. Nice going Microsoft. #
• 18:54 And the damn wireless password on first boot is not hidden. We now have a security problem. #
• 19:02 And once again, it's at a base system using the Aero Basic setup. #
• 19:09 Ran through a troubleshooter... and loaded up three unknown devices plus my card reader. Forced an update on the graphics card now. #
• 19:13 Reboot Tango! Rebooting on the new graphics drivers. #
• 19:14 Sound now has been activated. Must of been one of those no-name drivers. #
• 19:15 Four more updates to install, one for the GPU again, another for the built-in modem. #
• 19:17 Reboot #2, let's see if it choked on the NVidia driver. #
• 19:25 And it did. Hide and work. #
• 19:36 slapping on software... Firefox says "Using IE is *so* 2006." #
• 19:41 Where is my !*)@#*( menubar in Explorer?!? #
• 19:59 Switched to Classic theme, had to go through Control Panel to get to Folder Options. Used to do that in the File Explorer windows. #
• 20:00 Installing latest Second Life for Windows. #
• 20:03 Okay, time to see how fast Win7 is. #
• 20:17 So far, no bumps, bruises, and working good. #
• 21:44 Okay, Burger King's "Kingon" Star Trek glasses commercial just annoys on first try. BIG FAIL. #

You can get to the personalization options via right clicking on the desktop.

Also, don't need ATI drivers for the motherboard, everything works fine without them (even if you want to try the beta drivers for Windows 7)
