I already miss Windows 7
By Nick Hodge | January 27, 2009
After installing Windows 7 onto my work Dell XPS 1330, I have only restarted into Windows Vista three times. On a side note, I found out the XPS supports 8Gb RAM via 2x667Mhz DDR2 SODIMMs. Will have to budget this, and a larger hard drive. Maybe after July.
Now that the spare room is spare again, and this is where General Melchett resides, I am back on Windows Vista.
Oh, and Internet Explorer 8 Release Candidate 1 is out there. If you are on XP or Vista, grab it. Windows 7 users will have to wait a little until “the next release of Windows 7”
There are some nice secrets listed by MaximumPC

Greetings Nick–
My name is Jeff and I work with the Windows Outreach Team. I took a look around some of your Windows 7 posts and liked what I saw and it sounds like you like what you have seen with Windows 7 so far too. Gizmodo has provided great coverage of the Beta since its release, as you seem to have figured out. There is also a Windows Team Blog that is updated whenever Microsoft has important Windows 7 news. Here is a link to that if you are interested: http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/MainFeed.aspx
Thanks for your interest in Windows 7. Microsoft appreciates your input.
