Download the RC version to try it out. It should be available for a few more days. Go to the official Windows 7 website and you should be able to get it from there, though you might need a Live account to do it.

The upgrades are preorder so the deal will probably be over before you can try it out.

One weird thing Vista keeps doing to me. It keeps thinking every folder has music. I open up a folder with all text and word documents and it shows a listing with Artist, Album, Rating, and Track number instead of type, size, and date modified. Weird. Easily fixable, but weird.

That's Trillian, in case you try to google it. Unless there is also one called Trillium.

Yeah, this. I wrote the other post in a hurry and didn't double-check my fingers.

I didn't see this in any articles on 3.0. If you hold down on a link, it pops up some options, including open in a new page!! Woot!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So my iPod touch suddenly developed a whole bunch of flickering white horizontal lines that cover the whole display. (I haven't updated anything on it recently.)

Is the display toast? (It seems to work fine otherwise.)
