I love Windows 7. Absolutely freaking LOVE IT. For my Master's program, I have to record a video of me teaching onto a DVD, and mail it to my advisor. Before Windows 7, this would have been a nightmare. But today, things went like this:

1. plugged in camera to computer and turned the camera on
2. Windows automatically detected the camera type and model
3. Windows automatically downloaded and installed three drivers and programs to make the connection operate correctly
4. An upload window appeared that allowed me to name my movie
5. I clicked "next" and Windows rewound the tape, played the tape, and began digitally copying my movie
