I'm having a problem with slow network drive performance if the Win 7 machine is left on overnight. I've shutdown the network compression feature, which solved the general issue, but the ovenight issue is not fixed. Reboot helps.

Win 7 likes to generate a full screen window when saving files (generating a PDF from web pages with Adobe Acrobat 9). XP was plenty stable and fast enough. I'm considering a dual, boot system, or downgrading my new Laptop to XP Pro, 32 bit.

It has some issues with Quickbooks 2009, and refuse to upgrade 3 pcs to 2010, to fix the win 7 64 bit issue. Creating PDF files from inside Quickbooks. Work around is "printing" a PDF instead of a direct generation.

Under win 64, flash doesn't work in Explorer. Works fine if you run the 32 bit version of Explorer.

Other than that, runs very well, and stable.
