observations

I realise that RC1 is a dead string, but when the system goes rtm, I know
consumers are not going to like a system that when they try installing one
of their programs, at the end there is a string of panels saying some
unsigned drive could not be installed and to uninstall the whole program and
contact the vendor. Okay so the consumer uninstalls the program. Reboots
and the Boot manager says that there is now an unsigned driver and the
system won't start. What does gramps or aunt Clara do to remove the driver?
( In my case dual booting I can go to the other system and delete the driver
from Vista partition).

Also the Mail program message info is the pits. Half the time there is no
display of unread messages and other times it is just inaccurate. Like now
when I show -3 unread. Guess I'm ahead of myself or I have to write 3
messages which I have already read. :-)

RE: observations

Funny, I haven't seen any of those issues.. May want to check your computer,
or your load.

Re: observations

In the case of 1, I tried to install Roxio Easy Media Creator 8. Version
RC1 X64. Drivers are not digitally signed. Driver px4lpa64.sys gets
installed anyway and reboot won't load.
Case 2. Mail just often doesn't show the number of messages, unrread etc.
and sometimes wrong.
