While the last post was an Office '07 thing... I did do a Win7 related thing today.

Officially moved over my office computer. Since it's been in full use for about a day, I did notice some things I hadn't noticed from just laptop use.

The Devices and Printers thing is really cool, the options for printers actually made sense for what I wanted to do, as opposed to the control panel category things being hard to decipher.

The jump lists are pretty cool in practice, once you have some real docs you use often.

The search for some reason feels like it works better than Vista too, even though it's mostly the same thing. Could be that it's a recently built box without a lot on it, so most of my results are gonna be relevant at this point anyhow.

The new calculator is pretty cool too, even though that stuff can be found anywhere, I like things that are built in.

Oh, one more thing, Microsoft actually released the server admin tools for Win7 at release time, vs. posting a technet article on how to screw around with the not quite functional XP installer on Vista and taking forever to provide stuff that worked easier. The admin tools also don't trigger the UAC popup anymore, they just have the little icon. At least the ones I've used so far.
