Picture if you will… A slightly sleepy programmer, typing away at his keyboard with Kingdom Come’s Get It On playing through the headphones.
Yes. I am a child of the 80s.
I have noticed some issues with Windows 7.
- Media Player doesn’t work. Period. It never loads. It always crashes with a “Server execution failure.” I don’t know why and I haven’t had the time to reserach the issue. I’ve tried files on my local hard drive and files on my Home Server. It doesn’t matter.

- Windows Explorer isn’t refreshing. I worked on an invoice for a client last night. I copied an old invoice and renamed it. The result of the rename didn’t display. In other words, the window content stayed the same as before I renamed the file. I double clicked on the file and got a “File does not exist error.” I manually refreshed the page and there was my renamed file. Rather odd I should think.”

- Warhammer has no sound. I’m still getting sound from the desktop, but not from within the game. I really don’t like that. I prefer to hear when someone is taking a swing at me.

I wonder what other issues will appear.
So am I an early adopter if I switched to the new O/S before it’s general release? I waiting until the RTM dropped and I HAD to do something about the systems at the office. I never considered Vista a viable desktop. I realize I’m beating a dead horse. Whatever.
