The media center service still crashes sometimes and if you have 2 back to back recordings, the second recording will loose the first couple of minutes, which wont be included in the end of first recording.

Does anyone know how to back up your scheduled series recording list with TV pack? Did anyone ever figure that out?

Oh, and is the TV pack already installed in windows 7?]]>Jan 20th 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Jan 20th 2009 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Jan 20th 2009 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Feb 2nd 2009 3:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Jan 20th 2009 11:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/

Overall - I am highly recommending this to my friends and family who are looking for a system. I told my neighbor to just install it on the computer he just purchased and use it as his primary operating system over vista - it really is that good.]]>Jan 20th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/
Two issues that Bootcamp for some reason doesn't address; sound and bluetooth.

Sound is easy to fix. Just download the Realtek R214 drivers and update the driver using device manager; sound works perfectly now.

BT OTOH, I haven't had any luck getting my wireless Mighty Mouse connected.

So far 7 has exceeded my expectations. Seems very responsive, using less resources (both HD and RAM) than Vista. IE8 has been ok at best; crashes quite often and is quite slow to load compared to other apps such as Office 2007.

Overall, I hope MSFT keeps it this lean for the RTM build. I think they're in good shape.]]>Jan 20th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Jan 20th 2009 11:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Jan 20th 2009 11:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Jan 20th 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/
Sucks that I want to give the OS a run, and it won't. Every time it ends up in a chkdsk/reboot cycle without loading into 7.

I've given up on the Thinkpad... don't have anything else to try it on unfortunately. ]]>Jan 20th 2009 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/
I didn't switch from Win2K to XP until after XP SP1 was released, and I refused to use the resource hog named Vista.

I've got the Wireless mighty mouse to work on my Macbook early 2008 model. Go to add as new device and while the connecting message is there in the wizard look at the bluetooth devices window, the mighty mouse should be there. Right click it and select properties then put a tick in the Human Interface Device Service. Work great apart from the the MM timeout problem, need to click it if it has gone into powersave mode which is mighty anoying. Scroll wheel works for both horizontal and vertical scrolling in IE8 which is nice.]]>Jan 22nd 2009 7:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/
Running it on my Macbook Pro I can say that this will be the version of windows that will beat OSX, and without pushing new features, I wonder how Apple plans on selling 10.6 in comparision to Windows &. To be fair, Windows 7 doesn't have all that many new features either (or rather almost none) but Windows 7's target demographic is mostly people who have XP and didn't upgrade, or downgraded from Vista, so to them all the features are going to be new.]]>Jan 20th 2009 11:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/

Umm, Microsoft has around a 90% market share.

Um, that's only because Apple doesn't whore out their OS to cheap ass manufacturers.

on a related note: all my sound works fine.. except for incoming audio in Live Messenger (yahoo has the same problem). I can see that there is an incoming signal, but it is so low that even with everything on "blast-your-ears-off" level I can't hear anything.

Scheduling is smarter, begin able to select only HD broadcasts of syndicated shows that appear on more than 1 channel...

Native support for more file types like m2ts, mp4, and xvid avis makes it easier to setup and more options when it comes to pushing data out to the 360 or PS3.

The evolutionary changes are huge. I love it.]]>Jan 20th 2009 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/

Windows Update found all my drivers for me, so no hunting for my discs.

I'm overall pretty impressed. I like the UI changes, especially docking. And there's a gesture control that not many people know about: Aero Shake. Grab a window and move it left and right quickly, all the other windows will minimize. Do it again and they come back. Also, if you click and drag up on the taskbar icons, you get the right click menu. Both of these seem designed for the touch interface, and are pretty neat additions.

I'll likely be buying a copy.]]>Jan 20th 2009 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/Jan 20th 2009 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/20/windows-7-install-roundup/
