I got a new computer as the old one was on it's last leg and 5 years old. Still installing all the stuff on it but so far Windows 7 seems odd.

Got any specs on it?

I recently got a new gaming comp back in march my self(built my own.), the greatest things I don't like about windows 7 so far is that that it has poor/non-existent hardware sound support for older games(the removal of dsound3d from directx 10 and up.) and that windows 7 tends to be somewhat leaky on ram usage, quite a bit more so then windows xp.

Hmm I'll have to remember that if I install older games.
