Welcome to Windows 7!

Welcome to Windows 7!

I am "playing" with Windows 7 in a dual boot setup on my home Windows XP system.  I am gradually setting Windows 7 up, finding all the little settings and tweaks to make it mine.

Last night I discovered gadgets.  Gadgets are small applications which live on the Desktop.  Some of the gadgets that come with Windows 7 are a calendar, clock, weather, news feed reader, and games.  You can adjust the transparency ("see-through") of the gadgets so they don't standout until you mouse-over them.  Other gadgets are available from Microsoft and third-party programmers.

Let us know what YOU are doing with Windows 7.  Got problems, have a comment or suggestion to help others get the most out of the system - post it here!
