  1. If you are seeing speeds that low, but are copying thousands (I mean, thousands) of files, sometimes those speeds are "normal" but should speed up quite fast and stay at leas at 20-25mb.

    Maybe your security software is slowing things down. Try disabling it and try to copy the files again to rule that out.

  2. The answers could be many, but for me, Windows 7 improves things that were introduced in Vista.

    The new libraries feature is really helpful. You can stream and share music and videos easier as ever.

    Performance-wise, I feel it on par with Vista. Although I ran both on a beefy computer. My laptop is a little more snappier than Vista in this regard.

    If you never tried Vista, you missed a lot, but Windows 7 will please you I'm sure. Try on a real computer and not a virtual one to see real-world performance in everyday use.

  3. I already have my unattended installations of Windows 7 x86. I just need to take some time to make the x64 version.

    Hopefully I can find some time tomorrow night.

    Consider reading this post before you do.

    Don't worry, I have plenty of experience with unattended installations.

    However, that post in your blog about adding multiple OS's to an USB key might come handy for some tasks I have to do with many computers and different operative systems.

    I just started to modify my WIM of Windows 7 x64 to begin my unattended process.

  4. when i wwent from xp pro to vista i was cursing my machine to death for the first month. then i went to vista 64 and made a few hardware changes.

    along the way came sp 2 and other improvements. i switched to the win 7 rc a few weeks back and love it to death.

    im here now trying to learn some tips for the RTM to modify it to my liking.

    do it- you wont regret it. :thumbup

    My hardware is pretty much up to date.

  5. As vague (and noob) as my question seems to be, I will migrate to x64 bits with Windows 7 after longs delays even after reading lots of comments on how people seem to like Vista x64 I went with the x86 version since it came out. Most likely I will put it on my main desktop this weekend as the lonely OS.

    I'm wondering if there is something to know about x64 besides drivers for 64bit and "optimized for" applications.

    How was it for any of you guys this migration? From the home-user standpoint. Are the current Intel (chipset, storage manager), ATI, Nvidia, Realtek drivers good enough to take advantage of 64bit?

    Thanks for any feedback.

    Edit: My unattended installation went smoothly. I made some new custom installers for x64 apps that I use and they are working great.

    I would like to see if the performance of some x64-optimized apps like Photoshop, Premiere and some video encoders is bigger than they 32-bit counterparts.

    I'm restoring my backups, but so far, the experience is great. Besides the well-known fact that we "can't" use 64-bit web browsers because of Flash support for x64, almost all (I haven't tested all of them) my applications are working just fine.

  6. Thanks I got as far myself, thought about the time I was spending on it, weighed that against the time it would take me to use 'Send to' instead and took that route.

    At the end of the day I'm only trying out a handful off editors, so the 'Send to' list can be reduced again as I remove the ones I don't like!

    Anything other than a quick fix would likely have required unfixing when I'd finished anyway.

    You may find this little app useful. It has the same "Send to" functionality but it can be customized to your likings.

    I have just find it and will try it myself tomorrow.

  7. I am using it with Sphinx Windows 7 firewall control. No problems whatsoever.

    Thanks for the info. I have always an up-to-date internet security suite (KIS for the last years) but if Microsoft Security Essentials works and detects very well I will start recommending it to some customers that can't or won't buy AV or security suite subscriptions.

    If they want a firewall, there are good free alternatives too.

  8. Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 (latest is 9.0.0.463) works without any problem in Windows 7 x86 RTM.

    I tried the beta versions (not the official one for Windows 7 which is 8.0.0.xxxx) on the RC and they worked fine as well.

    I was using Alcohol 52% in Windows 7 x86 RC but now with the RTM it doesn't work. I got a compatibility problem windows and that's all.

    SPTD was the same in RC and RTM.

    I had to resort to Slysoft Virtual Clone Drive for the moment...

  9. I see you are using the same name (instalar) for the file that calls install.cmd :)

    I don't call any theme. My problem (in my desktop only) was that I installed an Nvidia driver set that had some issues. I will install them manually as the only thing needed after all is done with my Vista unattended dvd for my desktop.

    Did your setup worked as expected?

  10. You can delay the reboot command in that cmd file using something like Ping command or sleep.exe-kind-of-application...

    The desktop is showed after all the commands in FirstLogonCommands are executed, so if you make a delay in the file with your applications, you can force a reboot.

    Just use 1-2 (even 3 won't hurt) minute after all is done for the reboot to give Windows time to load everything.
