I've got Windows 7 - 64 bit Ultimate running on my HP quad core laptop with 8GB of RAM and it's running great.  Here is a list of what is currently running, what I'm doing and a pict of the current task manager performance graph.  It's not even up to 50% capacity.  Sweet...  Internet Explorer 8.0 - Adding blog entry Outlook - checking email Windows Explorer - backing up files to my server, FTP'd to remote server and copying files Live Messenger - instant messaging friends Microsoft Online Services Windows Virtual PC - Windows XP vpc which is VPN'd into client network, running remote desktop connected to remote server, running SQL Server, Analysis services, and VS2008 TextPad Paint.NET - editing photo Snipping Tool - screen capture Win Amp - playing my MP3s with visualizations rendering SQL Server Management Studio - connected to SQL Server 2008, running queries Visual Studio 2008 - working on SSIS project

I've been notified by Microsoft that my Code7Contest entry, Win 7 in my Truck, placed in the top three in North America.  I won a Code7Contest award and a free laptop.  I didn't get the free trip to PDC but I'm pretty pleased with taking a runner-up prize.  They will be sending me my nifty Code7Contest award.  Once I get it I'll have to take a pic and post it.
