I had a really good experience with W7 RC. I suppose most of the angst had been filtered out of it by that late stage. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to go back to XP.



Good idea about dual boot. It'll buy an escape route.


I have C D & E logical drives, with no Recover intrusion on this Sony VIAO, and has been set up to have programs on drive D. Probably a bad mistake, as I'm assuming I'll need a clean and preferably formatted drive for a second OS.

Can't think of anything, but can anyone see a problem in using drive D for W8?

Oh, dear. Just looked at New Explorer Ribbon Layout in the link. Now I know my tired old brain just can not put up with that.

My 3 explorers, plural ( well, one really) are set up on the task bar with the aiming point set in properties. At one touch, I'm in Photos, or my WP working folder. The new system looks sexy, but the old one is under control. Mind you, that annoying habit of the tree jumping to a new position still drives me nuts.
