The SC7 launch proved to be one of the most stable releases ever. There will always be problems we can't test ahead.

Same thing. At least you seem to have successfully installed SC, have it up and running and were able to change the skin (Default doesn't have any spinning CD animations). Great news! Up to this point I thought you didn't even get SC running on your system. > -Settings: I was very happy to read that supposedly 7.X would keep my > previous settings. Wrong. Wrong. It does.

Hey, that's exactly what we did: we re-organized them, to give them a bit more sense. But that's in the Default skin. If you opt for one of the old skins, you'll get the old behaviour. That's why they are still there: some prefer the old skins with their own behaviour. > -Slim Network requirement That's optional, no requirement.
