[QUOTE="alsiladka, post: 653517, member: 21547"] It was a fresh setup. There are a few reports on the net that Windows 7 does not make the proper entries in the bootloader, which you can rectify by editing the bootloader. You will have to look it up online. Some new observations and screenshots added to the first post. Check them up. * DivX support has been added out of the box. Though some of the movies still need proper DivX codec, most probably cause of different encoders used. * Bluetooth dongles now work out of the box by default, without the need for IVT Bluesoleil drivers or software! Though the IVT suite will offer enhaced functionality, but atleast now you will be able to use your bluetooth even if you do not want to install the whole suite! * Task Manager now shows the amount of Free & Cached memory. This might not make a difference to of us who know what superfetching is, but i have many friends who grumbled about vista using up whatever memory is offered to it when it was just launched! This is a better approach even otherwise. * Windows 7 has something nice and very helpfull called the troubleshooters. Details and screenshots for that have been posted in another thread, do check that out too. * The taskbar buttons light up in a shade matching to the color of the icon when the mouse hovers on the buttons, which looks nice and makes it easier to differentiate between them. So the uTorrent buttons lights up in a green shade, Firefox button lights up in orange, Opera in Red, IE in blue and similar. A very nice touch ;) * A whitish background illumination follows your mouse on the taskbar buttons. [/QUOTE]
