@UnderLoK: I agree with the group consensus win7. I have only had one peripheral with a driver issue and have been able to run it on machines that are over 5 years old no problem.

@advmp1021: define why you need to get your act together and list the benefits of getting your time managed. By understanding the benefits and defining your problem you will find your goals and a solution to you problem

@Jake712: rocketdock works great on all my win7 machines

If it cost me more for the tools and takes to much of my time I dont bother. For example I can fix just about anything in my house be it plumbing, electrical, dry wall or tile. I know how and have the tools and most of the problems just involve labor. My car on the other hand I do know how to fix it but do not have…

I would be exclusively win7 if not for my IT work where I have a mixed XP vista environment. My personal preference is WIN7 hands down

I did a fresh install on my 2133 mini note and an upgrade on my quad core desktop running Vista. So far so good I am enjoying the experience and have not ran into any issues. Will be testing with my home server very soon. If my experience is similar to the beta version. I will be happy and look forward to getting my…

On the netbook side if you are going to go minimum to get the best price make sure you get as much RAM as possible. Hard drive space issues are much more bearable than performance issues

I also took very good care of my waitress as she took real good care of making sure I had…

I personally like the user acct controls I have been able to set my kids up with a white list only of websites, limit the programs they can see or access, times the can log on and force log off. I also like the fact that I do not have to log them off to add a web site they can ask permission. I can then add my admin…

Outlook 2007 and One Note 2007 would be lost without them

I think it is a rather moot point to worry about oob features. Between work and home I have had and use all versions of window XP sp2 and vista ultimate now, My MacBook pro running tiger, and 2 unbuntu machines one server and one desktop, Oh and a personal windows small business server and a mountain of 2003 servers…

I use a spiral notebook to grab all my notes and thoughts and tidbits of information. At the end of the day when I am working on my to do list for the next day (I have a tabbed excel spread sheet that I created from all the GTD ideas I have read) the to do's get entered contact information updated and so on. Once a…

I have to Swiss here. For work and play I do use two machines. My lappy is a large beast that games and generally has a wow factor with my customers. I dock it at home and use all the typical accessories with it (larger monitor, keyboard, speakers, etc...) My tower is a workhorse of a machine serving up all of my…
