Windows 7 Is Ready For Release

Ive been running on Windows 7 now for a couple weeks on my work computer, and it is awsome. I have two identical laptops, both Dell XPS 1530's one at home, one at work.

The home one I still have running Vista Home Premium. I can honestly say I have more issues at home than at work, Outlook always wants to repair on Vista, works fine on Windows 7.

Every single device on my Dell worked with Windows 7, I didn't have to install a single driver from Dell. Im running Windows 7 64 bit, and so I get to take advantage of all my ram, but I also figured that the 64 bit version might not work with all hardware & software. But it does, even the multiple beta's that im running.

The only issue I have is with browsers.

IE8 crashes about once or twice a day, this is annoying, but the rest of the time it works. And firefox always starts in safe mode for some reason, once again, just annoying.

I really think they should release it sooner rather than later, it's more stable and faster than Vista.

I really hope I wont have to go back to Vista if they end the Beta
