WEll I loaded Windows 7 RC on my Raptor HDD this weekend. Quickest Windos install
I have ever done

Immediate improvement over vista -> Microstutter issues resolved.

I remember having microstutter with my 8800GTS 640 cards in XP and I could never get it sorted with newer drivers back then. MOved to Vista and it's drivers and that was sorted. 8800GT was fine in Vista, but my GTX260 has been giving me microstutter issues in ALOT of games. I have reloaded vista, used drivercleaner, ran Beta Drivers, Ran Guru3d Drivers, nothing resolves my issues.

Installed windows 7 with the latest Nvidia Driver, ALL my problem games have been rectified. Running 100% ultrasmooth and Hasslefree. Got an Updated Official Creative driver (13 July 09) for my Audigy 2ZS, so I am happy there.

Overall very Happy with The fresh install of RC, as my previous version gave me some annoying issues.

Sofar so good.........
