He's said the exact same thing, or something similar, for almost every product they've ever released. Remember when he was so excited about Vista?? I'm not judging Windows 7 yet but so far I'm not impressed, 20 hours to install & tons of driver issues (same thing with Vista) makes it hard to not give it a thumbs down though. I won't even go into my complaints about every Windows Mobile release I've tested.
I installed windows 7 on 3 different pc's in under 2 hours and not a driver problem on any. In fact only driver I remember downloading manually was a new nvidia driver, but it wasn't required. You must be doing something wrong.
My desktop still won't boot 7 without blue screening, seems to be a driver issue... My laptop blue screened after an upgrade install. I had to wipe it and than it would boot.
So far, for me, Windows 7 has been the worst Windows upgrade experience by far, including Vista.
I threw the RC on my Shuttle, dual boot with XP on another partition, installed like butter.....I haven't touched XP since. I was actually thinking about going Mac, but after the Win 7 RC experience, I just don't see any point to having to spend all the extra money....for what?
"20 hours to install & tons of driver issues" #1. The 20 hour thing was taken out of context. thats the WORST CASE scenario. #2. tons? you mean like...3-4? my god... 3=ton...
out of the only three people in my school that use a macbook pro, (there are about 460 by estimate from the school for PC users), two predominately use only windows 7, one of whom got it form his MSDN subscribed father (as his father earns hundreds of thousands from his software firm). he sometimes chuckles at how windows development paid for his Macbook Pro, while showing off his father's signed copy of windows xp from bill gates.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.

So you guys are bitching about driver issues for an os that technically isn't out yet?
A month is quite a while. Companies still have to finalize drivers. Relax.

I have a bunch of specialised Lenovo drivers, and I don't have an issue with 7
