How many of us are PC users?

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

Not to mention, Windows Vista isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Though I ought to invest in one of those "Vista for Dummies" books...

Vista problems were waaay too exaggerated, honestly. I haven't had any issues with my PC since I got it. \:D/

Yeah; the way the guy at American explained it was that it wasn't Microsoft's fault, it was all the software companies that they had sent Vista patches to that didn't get those patches installed until after Vista was released. My only gripe is that it didn't come with a decent picture editing program. My desktop has ArcSoft PhotoImpression 4, and I miss it. :(

Has anybody here tried out the Windows 7 Release Candidate? I have and it seems really solid. It can be downloaded for free from the Microsoft site.

Isn't it still a beta? I used it, and wasn't very impressed. :boohoo:

How long ago did you use it? I ran a copy that was downloaded about a week ago, and it ran great.

I downloaded one but the only computer in our house that has a DVD drive and will support it is the main stable one.

It wouldn't boot from a DVD in a virtual machine either. :(
