I saw a screen shot of Win7 and it just looked junky and cluttered. Now, I am not being Mac-biased because I used to be a total MS fan boy ... but Win7 just isn't grabbing me back, now that I have switched to Mac. This post of yours is really interesting.

I've been moving between the systems for a while now and Win7 is really quite nice. These bugs are not terrible and considering it's "beta" I can live with it for now. When it gets optimized for release Windows will once again be a strong choice.

i am hearing the same from a lot of friends. i have an open mind... we'll see. if Apple does not come out with a netbook, my next purchase just may be a windows machine.

I just got a Dell m1330 and threw Windows 7 x64 on it.
Never noticed these things until you brought them to my attention.

I've heard good things about the 64bit version ... would love to try it with 4+GB of RAM too though I don't have a capable system.

What you describe you are experiencing with Bluetooth is imho 100% driver-related. What drivers are you using? The default ones that Win7 installed? Have you tried installing the official Samsung drivers (even in compatibility mode if they are xp only and don't work if you install normally)?

The gadgets thing may be a chipset/vga driver issue. Do you have the most recent drivers? For VGA there was an update via Windows update a few days ago, a beta driver specifically for Win7. If that doesn't work, Vista drivers from Intel's website do the trick.

Fn controls are tied to the ACPI driver, at least for my Eee. I guess it's the same for Samsung. Can you install these?

The time will never sync until you set Windows Time service to start automatically and delayed. Run->services.msc->right click on Windows Time->Properties->Set Startup Type to Automatic (Delayed Start).

Setting to Automatic will NOT work. This IS a bug.

I guess i would wait a while before i change windows xp to 7.0... It seems that it will be as buggy as vista.

My RealTek AC'97 is hosed. I've tried numerous driver installs for Vista, nothing peeps out from the speakers. My old graphics card is hosed too, so I had to switch back to integrated graphics, but it doesn't piss me as much as the audio driver.

My sounds still flakes on wake from sleep ... tried the realtek drivers as well as the stock. Beta is beta ... still well worth the install.
