docking/undocking.

if I put my laptop in a dock with external devices then eject then put back.

We have had quite a few issues with our dells not waking up properly through the process and the problem may actually be more hardware than software but just curious.

M$ still hasn't done the file system stuff they said they were going to do in vista but I will take it if it is better...their earnings sure reflected that windows 7 is doing very well.

hmm, i'm actually not sure what you mean entirely with docking so i cant really answer that. i mean i'm guessing by a dock you mean you stick it in, use different monitors/mice/keyboard/speakers/etc..? never done anything like that really besides using a second monitor for programming assignments.

can you explain about the file system stuff? i always heard there was supposed to be a huge file system feature in vista that got canned but i never understood it.

for what it's worth, i've met tons of people who would say something to the effect of "i got vista on my laptop, turned out to be a BIG mistake" for whatever reason... i've never met someone who said "got my computer with 7 and really regret it" or "thankfully i was able to revert from windows 7 back to xp/vista"... half the people i've run into were happy with 7, the other half gushed about how much they liked it (like i just did

). that why i was kind of taken aback when you said you knew of people not liking it.

do you know what was the cause of the dislike? or was it 64-bit driver stuff or what?

you have never seen a docking station?
There use to be a couple in the cove :-)
That way you just plop your laptop on the thing and you don't mess with cables for using keyboard, mouse, monitors etc.

I am not sure what all the file system things they were going to do but it was to be an entirely new secure file system. I think the main reasons were for security, large files and since file types have changed so much.

Yeah here it has been they don't really care for the UI that much (probably just too used to XP) and issues with drivers and programs running on W7
