“Have you noticed anything about it locking up… more frequently than it should? I got your newsletter and was checking it out. We have it on a laptop at home and it’s locking up more than what it probably should, but that could also be the laptop itself.”

My response:

It’s funny that you mention this. Recently, my Windows 7 has been hard-locking after recovering from power-saving mode. Unfortunately, it’s happened to me randomly and I suspect it has something to do with software that I run throughout the day.

However, with a laptop, by default it probably goes into sleep mode. Is that when you’re having a problem?

Finally, keep in mind that this is RC software and not finalized, so hopefully whatever the issue is, it won’t follow us into the full version.

“Just got your news letter and have a question, I pre-ordered a copy of 7 Pro (upgrade) back in June, I believe, when you could get it for ½ off, but the Ultimate was not available for that promo. Am I correct in saying the only difference in the two versions is BitLocker?”

My response:

It’s not the only difference, but as far as a feature that guys like you and me would use, BitLocker is really the only thing you’re missing.

The article on the web site links to Ultimate’s features if you want to read more on it.

Honestly, for me it’s going to be Home Premium at home and Professional on my laptop.
