Windows 7

[TuX!TehLinuxPenguin!]

I just installed the Windows 7 beta. Anyone else using it here? Here's the system I installed it on:

Dual Core Athlon 2.4 ghz (939 socket)
1 GB DDR ram
BFG Tech 7600GT GPU
160 GB Seagate SATA

Thoughts:
Surprised at how well it ran on my system, considering it's pretty old.
Initial setup took a while, although the later install went quickly.
It detected my hardware and installed the drivers (except for sound).
Memory management is a little better than with Vista, could be better. ATM I am using 533 mb of ram with just IE8 open.

Overall, it surprised me at how polished it is. I haven't used Vista much before so I don't really have any previous OS to base it on other than XP.

Any of you guys have thoughts about it?

Is Windows 7 better at managing/using multi-core processors?

I'm thinking of picking up a cheapo HD and dualbooting just to see how it is. I need to get a new HD anyhow, so hmm.
