Hi John, I was just looking for away to switch to classic start menu, I cannot find the setting to do it, so I am not sure if it is possible anymore.
And after I reverted to the microsoft high deffinition audio driver instead of realtek's, it is very very very responsive. I am missing the auto-complete on the start menu, but I'm sure that gw-micro will fix this. Take care. Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: John G [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 1:56 AM To: Juan Hernandez Subject: Re: win 7 first observations What's the interface like? Is it possible to revert to the classic windows UI in Windows 7? How responsive is it?
