I thought it was probably a good idea to just wipe it all from a fresh, its gone a long time since it's been reformatted (The HP G6000 has been around for quite some time now).
I'm currently on my mother's machine with windows 7 installed on it fresh on this morning. As far as I can tell it hasn't changed much from Vista, just got prettier. Although since we are on 64 bit this time instead of 32 it sure as hell is fast.
I haven't seen Win 7 yet myself, but my friend and co-worker at the shop installed a copy on a computer last night and said it did indeed seem a good bit lighter and quicker than Vista (on the same hardware). (damning with faint praise?)
As to me, me has his senior design project back on track and moving at full steam, is continuing to look for employers needing a freshly graduated BS in mechanical engineering, and is simultaneously starting to apply to grad schools in case me don't get that job straight away; what me'll angle for then is a cooperative education program in which the school will arrange an internship with a corporate partner of the school.
