Micron revs flashy SSD line

Disk Freeze

I really hope they fix the disk freeze issue that exist on their current drives and is the subject of a long running thread on the Crucial forum. This shows as "Event ID 9: The device, \Device\Ide\iaStor0, did not respond within the timeout period" in Event Viewer. My laptop, an Asus K72J is running two drives, a Crucial C300 128 gig and a 320 gig storage drive. The SSD is set up correctly and all drivers are up to date but there still seems to be a problem with Intel's storage drivers and power settings for this drive. Very annoying when it happens!

Microsoft to offer Windows 7 downgrade to XP

So many experts...

on here, all slagging off an os that's still in beta! Have any of you seriously tried 7? I'm "only" interested in computers as a hobby but having three desktops running XP Pro and 2000 Pro, laptop running Vista Ultimate ( all legal-Technet) and one running 7 Ultimate plus a couple of lappys running Linux Mint and Fedora I find myself really shocked at this my OS is better than yours crap! As already stated by another, 7 is shaping up to be the best OS from MS yet. Faster and a lot more stable than Vista with UAC easily turned off, far more functionality than XP and a lot easier to use than any flavour of Linux I can't wait until it's officially released.
