Positives
Out of the box experience is substantially better
Resumption from sleep is double as fast. Booting is substantially faster.
All programs installed flawlessly i.e. Astrology Software such as Parashara Lite 6.1 and Hora
The DivX videos are playing smoothly
HP Printer software is working great.
Negatives
UAC and DWM need to be disabled for quick redrawing of windows
indexing still burns the hard disk
DRM is still around and needs to go
Conclusion
The right direction for SP1, though im sticking with XP for now, maybe till 2010.
