Been over in the Ubuntu side of this computer for a couple of days. “Housekeeping” and other stuff best done from there. Exporting the T-Bird address book I have there into T-Bird Portable, etc.
So, I decided to reboot in Win7 Beta. Weird stuff going on.
1. I was just on an Ubuntu session and all was well, but now the keyboard/mouse are acting weird. Kyboard droppng letters typed (Yp, just like now) and mouse acting herky-jerky. I do NOT have capslock on at any time (disabled the key mechanically), but sometimes, the SHIFT key sticks.
2. Have already had to re-register keyoard/mouse twice–hardware rnegotiaaaae. Again.
3. Can CLCK start orb, but nothing in it s clickable .
No, I have fresh batteries in wireless input devices, and besides, they were jst working fine in Ubuntu, a few minutes ago.
TOO WEID.

It’s a beta. Although my experience with Microsoft Betas has been that they’re more like Alphas, and the release candidates are closer to Betas.
Yeh, Perri. Usually M$’s record with OS releases has been “shrinkwrap beta to the end user” but the Win7 beta has been a different experience for me before this. It’s been so rock solid up to this point, I’m betting the last update introduced some regressions. Notabigdeal, but M$ is getting a feedback report on this. 😉
