    Anyone with a dv9000t or dv9500t try out Windows 7 yet?
    I'm downloading it right now.

    I thought Vista was ok, but I find myself back to XP Pro. Someone talked positively in a HDX with Windows 7 thread, so now I want to try it out.

    And here is something called "Windows XP Mode"

    I wonder if this mode will increase VM performance while I'm running them on a WinXP host. Because that's what I used to do.

    Anyway, I have it enabled right now in preparation for installing Win7.
