Is the new windows firewall any good?

Anyone noticed the mac fangirls on youtube going out of their way to put the beta down?

Thers one idiot running it virtually and is complaining that its only seeing one cpu core and one gig of ram, problem is he has to set it in the virtual options how much core and ram usage it should have. Of course he's ignoring people telling him he's doing it wrong and maintains its a problem he had with vista as well.

The idiot on you tube deletes your comments if he doesn't like them I've just found out, great can't even point out his wrongs.

Anybody noticed the feature where it snaps your mouse when you close a program to the conformation box? It does it in a lot of other programs as well quite a nice little touch.

Kainz · 17 Jan 2009 at 14:46

That is known as Aero Snaps. Quite a handy feature, annoying on a small res screen though

That option was available in Vista as well, maybe even XP. Most mouse software included it like Logitech Setpoint and Intellipoint.

I find when I try and change the page file it crashes. The install set-up no page file and I'm wondering whether that is what is causing issues

Fothsn · 17 Jan 2009 at 15:25

Where is it in the Setpoint software? Can’t seem to find what it may be called.

willhub · 17 Jan 2009 at 15:30

Should my Pagefile be higher than 4.3GB as I have 4GB ram? It has allocated 4.3GB to the C drive here.

I must say I'm pretty impressed with Windows 7 on my Lenovo laptop. Run much quicker than Vista, the battery life is probably 15 - 20 minuets better and finally the finger print reader works.

I'll most definately be purchasing Windows 7.

Fothsn · 17 Jan 2009 at 17:33

Anybody got any cool little tips and tricks they have found and would like to share?

My only issue atm is the media player not letting me rate my music at times I think it’s a permission issue but cannot seem to sort it out
