But there are a few things that ticked me off a bit:

Folder Views: Whose computer is this, anyway? I'm a CD Freak; I don't need a Burn icon hogging space that could be used to display folder contents. You need a book to finally get the folder views for the various templates to display the way you want them to... and to make them stay that way.

Activation: I bumped my FSB a few mhz... what do you mean I have to activate again?

Activation: I have two drive drawers and a bunch of removable HDDs... what do you mean I have to activate again?

Activation: I switched one of my SATA controllers to AHCI mode... what do you mean I have to activate again? Hey, what do you mean I have to TELEPHONE someone to get my machine activated again? Whose computer is this, anyway?!

Anyway, no memory management issues for me. Anger management is another story.
Hehe yes they are getting way to carried away with the activation thing, I havent had any O/C activation problems yet as I am always playing with O/C. Was planning to switch my Controller to AHCI mode once I figure it out. If I have to call Microsoft one more time this month I will need some anger management as well.
