I think what you're saying about an opt-out for webmasters is the most satisfactory option. Keep in mind though, a lot of webmasters just setting up a website may like this sidewiki thing because it means they won't have to setup their own forums; they can just refer people to the google sidewiki.

I hate to say that having to install the google toolbar to use it is the biggest turn off for me. I hate unnecessary clutter.

Maybe the sidewiki would be a good thing for Mozilla to try and incorporate into Snowl?

Yoski,

I pre-ordered Windows7 off amazon when they had the big pre-order discounts going. I must say that I did give vista the big side step, it was almost prophetic that it'd be a weighty and clunky operating system. It was like just waiting for Microsoft to deliver what "it thought" end users wanted. It's good to hear a lot of positive press going it's way.

Now hears hoping it'll run as quickly as XPsp3 on 2gb RAM and my trusty Athlong 64X2 5600+. Looking forward to having Directx10 and a new look to Windows.

For me the real test is going to be whether or not it takes the majority of a working day to get it installed and running how I like!

Answer to this one.... No it wont take all day to get it up and running. Its easier al round to configure and use than Vista is. Installing software is a bit easier due to the UAC being less intrusive.

There is less pre-included apps in this one, but you can get these if you need them as live essentails downloads.

Stability wise it seems rock solid.
