that sounds good , and i am convinced that vista will be history when win7 rc will come to us

In a previous article they said there were about 2000 of these types of fixes being implemented, which will be great.  If every fix is as useful or wanted as these, then they certainly have a gold product on their hands.

yeah,but don't be too enthusiast about actual betas of win7 as microsoft can make mistakes with win7 too....there is still time  left  to the rc....and the rtm...
i see that microsoft is making progress with win7 but in an attempt to do something better you can get out of control and make it worse
microsoft has to take its time because win7 has to be refined and well polished for the official rtm.
and the fixes to some bugs can cause other bugs too,depending on many variables...so i like the beta1 and the build 7022 but i expect a big mistake from microsoft ...
