Well I got home today, and Mr. 7 was sitting on the front porch in the pouring rain lol. So for the next few weeks I'll be playing around with 7, testing various addons etc.. for both FS9 and FSX. Shouldn't be too much different from the RC1, but they did make some changes which may cause stuff to run better, or worse. So if anyone has any questions about Windows 7, feel free to ask. I'll try to get back, if I can't, I know theres other here in the cooler that are using 7, and I'm sure they'll be more than happy as well to answer any questions

Today I reformatted my computer and went from xp to windows 7. Ive had absolutely no problems with FS9. Some reported with the beta that you had to disable your desktop theme for windowed mode but not for me... As far as compatibility issues there was some programs that said there was errors but I just had to google them to find a fix. All addon scenery worked fine, except for some reason 64bit didnt want to automatically add the scenery into FS9 so i had to do it myself. Windows 7 = win!
Im running Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16ghz
Geforce 9800GT
2gb ram (upgrading soon, other 2gb stick went faulty)

Sat on the porch in the rain eh, better watch out for the waterlogged bits
I have this as well (get MSDN as a developer at Intel), but its such a horrendous
pain doing whole OS reinstalls that I've not yet got motivated to go thru with it
Besides, I finally have Vista beaten into submission and am paranoid about fixing
that which isn't borked

I insist on a detailed report on how well it works with flight sim, as that is my next OS.
