25 Random Things About Me: By Windows 7

1. Vista and I are not twins.

2. UAC is not a security cure-all.

3. 40 percent of UAC prompts are from Windows, not as many as you'd think.

4. As of Feb. 10, 2009, beta me has become unavailable for download, but if you started downloading before that you can continue the download until Feb. 12.

5. The above schedule is not applicable to MSDN and TechNet subscribers.

6. You can upgrade to me from XP, as long we have an understanding of "upgrade" to mean "reformat your machine and do a fresh install."

7. I don't play well with McAfee, but Kaspersky, AVG and Symantec are cool.

8. For low-end notebooks, or "netbooks," OEMs will try my Windows 7 Starter flavor, but Windows 7 Home Premium will let you reap my full experience.

9. Windows 7 Starter will only let you run three applications at a time, but it's for OEMs offering me on PCs with limited hardware.

10. The Ribbon Interface is not a waste in Paint! My applets like Wordpad and Paint benefit from the Ribbon UI because they inherit built-in keyboard accessibility support using ribbon Keytips, have tooltips on all commands, and have ready support for DPI and Windows themes.

11. I am really excited about the new features in Calc: Check and correct, calculation modes and even templates.

12. I am all about "green." If you want to run an HTML report detailing energy-efficiency issues, type in the following at an elevated command prompt: powercfg/energy -- close any open programs.

13. Windows 7 Ultimate costs $350? Unsubstantiated rumor!

14. Regarding my different SKUs, you try making a pizza for a billion people!

17. Some of my best qualities? Less CPU, less disk I/O.

18. Windows' borders remain in Aero transparency when maximized, unlike in Vista.

19. 1 GB will be enough to run Windows 7 ... No, really.

20. Beta Time Bomb. August 1. Period.

21. The default time it takes between hovering a mouse over a taskbar item and the display of its thumbnail image is 400 milliseconds.

22. You can change the about setting by changing the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Mouse MouseHoverTime registry key value.

23. I am on Facebook: My Facebook page

24. I have 8,485 fans on Facebook. Linux has 91,503.
