Re-downloading the latest versions of the browsers, and restoring all my bookmarks and passwords took almost as long as installing all the various Windows and Office updates – and was a more labor-intensive process to boot.
So now I’m up and running with my base set of applications. There are still other apps I need to install, including the Imagenomic noise reduction software and the Zune app. Now I’m trying to think of what I’ve forgotten. Hmm…. Office…. Steam games…. Browsers…. TweetDeck…. Photoshop…. Oh, wait, I remember.

nice one lloyd. That is basically what i did over the weekend. Now i have 4 systems up and running with windows 7 rtm. So far everythign is humming along nicely apart form my antivirus, a last minute driver change has now prevent my antivirus driver engine from running. Lucky the guys at sunbelt software are already on it and are having a patch out in the next couple of hours, so i can test.
Don’t know about you but the final build is working much muc smother than the RC. Things seem to run better but a little slower. but start up and shut down has been improved alot. with start up speed i am talking about from the windows login screen till when you can start ie 8 for me its about 10 seconds with all my stuff loaded on start up. impressive.

Haven’t noticed speed changes, but I’m liking all the little tweaks. I’m going to do an upgrade on my laptop from Vista, and see how that goes.
