Actually not so crowded. 7.0B4 is nice. And actually very few bugs. The
finder is MUCH better. The functionality is better. Things run better in
the "multifinder" environent. Will I switch? No. I already have. Will I
go back to pre - 7.0? Not unless something makes me. I'm sold. Apple has
really done a super job on this one. AND, I have found very little
software that has problems under Sys 7. Even Microsoft Word and Excel
work right! The one problem? MPW Shell. :-(.  At least Apple released
an upgraded shell that DOES work with Sys 7. :-).

Gee. The new way allows us to have multiple control panels open at once.
That means I can play with sound and After Dark screen blankers at the
same time. These are things we have been complaining about for years.
Now they have fixed them. AND, in a most useful way.

Don't get me wrong - Apple doesn't do EVERYTHING right. But they seem to
have done things very right with System 7.
