Hi – just trying the features of Windows 7. It’s been a little rocky getting off the ground – lots of things no longer work, or still don’t work, and some things work really well.
What I like:
1. Speed – new machine goes really fast.
2. Interface is pretty. I like the really big display.
What I don’t like:
1. iPhone calendar still won’t sync. At all. All the other Outlook stuff syncs OK.
2. Palm TX won’t sync – and Palm has cut loose all tech support. Rumor has it that it will still sync over bluetooth, and I’m ordering a bluetooth dongle to try it out – the idea is that the Palm can fill in for the not-working iPhone calendar. If the iPhone ever syncs I won’t need the Palm (though the Palm calendar is much prettier and more useful than the iPhone calendar).
3. Wacom tablet drivers don’t exist – my tablet is too old. Again, rumors of a work-around, but haven’t tried it yet.
4. Networking is funky – has trouble seeing our network drive.
5. Goes to sleep really often – and when it does, it stops streaming audio. iTunes can’t keep it awake. I don’t know if WMP works.
More updates later…
Happy trails.
