Kav has always worked well on x86. For 2 years anything x64 sucked. I've never had any issues with it. When Scara chimed in about how sensitive the burning process was, I decided turning it off couldn't hurt. It was a 4 hour battle but I got all drivers installed and my wireless card working. That .pdf is worth it's weight in gold for setup. I worked my way through that doc last night. I can't help but think I slowed it down with the Vista style eye candy. Hopefully I'll get through the rest of the tweaking tips today

On a sober note it makes total sense. Server 2008 is to Vista what Server 2003 is to XP, atleast in the 64-bit sense. Stability and reliability.
Too bad MS didn't do the same thing with Vista 64-bit and base it on Server 2008 if it were only around at the time.
"Server", What an OS ought to be.

So far the only programs that havne't worked are Kav, Outback Plus 6 and Acronis. I'd have to buy Acronis Echo workstation to install that. I can still back up from 11 Home on my Vista install. I'll have to move my .pst files and FF profile manually. I went with a trial of Symantic Endpoint for AV simply because they actually sell a single license of it for around $50. Seems lightweight and unobtrusive. Everyone else wants 5 license packs for their business products. Tomorrow I'll give 3Dmark '06 a whirl. Last night I was busy installing my trial of Office 2007. And tweking with my favorite reg hacks.
Mo no signs of icon burn in for me. Driver issue on your vid cards?

I wish I spent some more time with the OS before installing the AV. I think it seriously affected boot times. Dunno. I was nervous about spending too much time online without an AV. I did image my installation before the install. Unfortunately I now have a good 15 hours into installing programs, tweaking the bios (XP hacks for Outlook MinTotray and Context menu handlers work) transfering bookmarks and .pst files. I'd hate to do all that over if a stop watch proves it's a pig compared to initial impressions. It may be a combination of that and all the programs and startup services. I still like the overall performance compared to Vista especially with 2 virtual machines folding in the background 24/7.

Based on this, it takes a business version of Nod to be compatible. Is that wrong????

Don't know why Kav's Internet Security 7 installs when Kav 7 wouldn't.
