Installation.
After a mind numbing 1.37 GB download the speed with which SW installed itself was a pleasant surprise. I opted to turn off SW Search. No point tempting fate with yet another MicroSoft "feature". I opted for the traditional install, downloaded files and installed from a network share. Anybody seen the disks yet?
Performance.
Loaded up STAR2.1, a benchmark macro I wrote. Was pleasantly surprised with the Chinese characters on the OK and Cancel buttons. Opened STAR
2.1 in the macro editor to see why it wouldn't execute. The whole editor has gone Chinese. And more importantly when I tried to step through the program F8 didn't work as expected. Hmmmm, what did I miss? Something new in the API? I'll have to try to read the help. Didn't know having alternate language support turned on would cause this. My desktop was set to english.Gottcha.
First thing I did was go through Tools/Options/File Locations and make sure things like my production templates would not get discombobulated by using them in 2007. Sure enough they were defaulting to 2006 directories.
Is it just me?
Or does getting buttons to click with the mouse take just a little bit longer?
Gee Whiz.
Those little dial gadgets on dimension control boxes are kind of cool.
Don't catch your trousers on the sharp edges.
The property manager dialog boxes now have sharp edges instead of rounded ones.
