This week, I upgraded my primary laptop to Windows 7.  The process itself was a treat.  It was by far, the easiest upgrade I have done yet...

I posted on Tech Republic about some device issues and an initial Skype issue.  Read the post here:

I also am dealing with a weird bug where my MSN Live Messenger 2008 windows become unavailable and the contents are blank.  I can close the window and re-open it to resolve the issue but I reported this using the feedback links in Windows 7 Beta...

Another interesting find is the return of the character map.  The Backup software is also back but you won't find it under Accessories and System Tools.  To launch, you will need to go to the Control Panel.  I am glad they did not do away with the Backup because I use it diligently!
