Seriously, has anyone used it? Compared to 2003 its seriously bloated, especially for an environment where every little bit of resource counts!

It is the Vista of Windows Server, only without any of the nice features that Vista had. ]]>Mar 19th 2010 4:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/microsoft-dishes-out-windows-7-sp1-windows-server-2008-r2-detai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/microsoft-dishes-out-windows-7-sp1-windows-server-2008-r2-detai/

I saw this last week because we are an MS partner and was hoping for the same thing. Then cyberlink released a new version of powerdvd reminding me that there are a few partners out there with a lot of revenue tied to the fact that MS doesn't offer native blu-ray. They are probably well represented inside MS.]]>Mar 20th 2010 10:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/microsoft-dishes-out-windows-7-sp1-windows-server-2008-r2-detai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/microsoft-dishes-out-windows-7-sp1-windows-server-2008-r2-detai/Mar 19th 2010 4:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/microsoft-dishes-out-windows-7-sp1-windows-server-2008-r2-detai/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/19/microsoft-dishes-out-windows-7-sp1-windows-server-2008-r2-detai/
Here are some issues then:

Autoarrange can't be disabled
Battery bug for some batteries
