Thanx for the info, Tech.  To my pleasant surprise, somehow, issues I came across when I installed it before seems to have disappeared.

Yes, it seems to be FP.  I disabled the antivirus function on the machine on which Avast! is installed as well.

Windows 7 Preorders Better than Vista and XP Combined


And so it begins: On Tuesday, online retailing giant Amazon.com began shipping its Windows 7 preorders to customers around the globe for delivery on Thursday. But Amazon also had some good news to share with the world: Windows 7 is already a bestseller, and its preorders are stronger than the preorders for both Windows Vista and Windows XP... combined

Thanks for the info.  Due to their "failure" in Vista, Microsoft seems to have learned to listen to the users as well as their "partner" companies.  I guess Microsoft seems to have done their best in securing their position against other OS's such as Google Chrome OS and Snow Leopard.  In any case, if these companies are going to polish their products for their users, I think the free market is working rather properly.

Failure isn't too strong a word, now that the Vista market share is on the wane and it never got above 20% (19.6%) at the same time XP still retained 70% market share.

No wonder MS wanted to move on.

The issue here is if we should move on as MS want us to do so.  As an XP user, I guess I'll follow the maxim of "If it is not broken,..."  ;)
