Clean install. I have an MSDN subscription. I wrote some of my own drivers, but am still having problems with some

Which ones are you having problems with? Post a screen shot from your Win 7 device manager and maybe I can help.

I'm a beta tester as well, no crashes and faster and smoother than XP, I'm still having problems with the interface I used the "classic" interface on XP so now I'm dumbfounded because there is not a classic classic view, it looks like I have to get with the times. One issue I do have though is its automation of connections is almost too automated. I have my cell modem set up as a back up connection so for awhile the puter would see my BB via bluetooth and make a connection using valuable resources. I'm only running a gig of memory.

Many years ago I was active in the A and B testing of Office 97 and 00 so MS keeps on sending me the love, I passed on the XP testing though.

fwiw I have heard many online reviewers saying how awesome the Windows 7 beta is, how much faster and nicer it was than Vista at this point in the beta, and how several reviewers have gone so far as to say that Windows 7B is better than Windows Vista SP1!

I am going to grab a torrent of it myself later and replace my Vista 64 (I never use) with it and see how I like it.
