    I tried to uninstall some drivers from Safe Mode in Windows 7 RC1 and it said the service to do this is not available from Safe Mode. Is this just something with RC1 or is this not an option with Win7? Usually I do driver uninstalls from Safe Mode to make sure no other process is using dll's or other files that it won't normally delete in regular Windows.

    edit: nevermind, I guess I have been using XP for too long. It's the same as Vista.
