   Brandon,

   Thanks for your prompt reply and for the clarification concerning the transparency of the new Taskbar in Windows 7.  I am anxiously awaiting the public beta......

   I think: so far, so good. I´m happy with Vista, I think that the people was not ready for it. You nned a real good piece of hardware to run it.

   I love the indexing service it has. I provide tech support and with Vista is much easier to say: jus click on start and type device manager instead of provide a step by step on how to got for it. There are a couple of things that I cannot understand about it, like the IPv6 or why they changed the name of certain stuffs or why uses a Linux Grub to load!!.

   Windiws 7 as meet my expectation by the moment. Is fast enough and is making a good usage of my hardware. I thing that the libraries is a good thing, but can be dangerous if the people starts linking libraries and at the end, they will have a labyrinth.

   I have tested 6GB of RAM Memory on my PC and it is running Windows 7 32-bit and it has recognized all and it is using it.

   Malangovino, you must have a special configuration. In general, there are limitations to the 32-bit platform in regards to using more than 4GB of memory. My 4GB Dell desktop at home won't see more than 3.5GB of memory running 32-bit.

   Here are some excellent resources on the memory limitations for Windows in general from MSDN:

   msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa366778.aspx

   The article does say that the limits on physical memory for 32-bit platforms also depend on the Physical Address Extension (PAE), which allows 32-bit Windows systems to use more than 4GB of physical memory. You can learn about PAE here:

   msdn.microsoft.com/.../aa366796(VS.85).aspx

   Malangovino, you just have a motherboard that has PAE allowing for use of more than 4GB of physical memory which isn't very often seen in consumer PCs from my understanding.

   In general - for folks to use more than 4GB of memory they will need to run a 64-bit version of Windows.
