So I finally switched from Vista to Windows 7.  I installed [b:1w1wd3cl]MICROSOFT.WINDOWS.7.ULTIMATE.7600.16385.RTM.X64.RETAIL.ENGLISH.DVD-WZT[/b:1w1wd3cl] (ZWTiSO?) and tried to activate it with [b:1w1wd3cl]7loader by Orbit30 + Hazar v1.4[/b:1w1wd3cl], but that did not work.  But [b:1w1wd3cl]7loader by Orbit30 + Hazar v1.2[/b:1w1wd3cl] did.  There are a few noticeable changes, but for the better.  You can read about some of them in the tips below.

One thing I did notice was with Windows Firewall.  I usually have this disabled because my router is my firewall.  But what if you have a laptop and connect to a public network?  Well in Windows 7 you can set the firewall settings based on network type (private/public).  So you can have the firewall turned off while connected to private networks and on when on public networks.
