i got to be honest with you, windows 7 isnt much different from vista on the outside. im sure its different in the guts. it looks the same.

i was about to dowload the custom windows update an they had netframe 3.5, i remember a while back madjim had a problem with it, has anyone dowloaded this update and, did it affect hoster, just wanted to make sure before i download the updates ( 4 )

Jim had a problem with it because he downloaded an update (Service Pack) for .net Framework 3.5 and installed it without have 3.5 itself installed. That is why he had a problem with it. I haven't downloaded it yet because I was waiting for it to come out in the updates, so don't know for sure if it will or won't cause a problem as I haven't checked it out yet.

I think that I will attempt to load Hoster on the computer today or tomorrow with Windows 7 Beta. I realize I am not going to get any support right now. However I would like to participate in future beta testing if possible. I suspect MS will be releasing Windows 7 sometime this fall. The Beta test eval runs out in August.

So far I haven't encountered any major problems with W7, with the exception of loading some incompatible software packages such as Symantec Anti Virus and McAfee AV 8.7i. I am also evaluating the beta version of Norton 360...
