Windows 7: Great for everyday use, but not for Source Engine 3D gaming...

Microsoft is not bringing false promises when it comes to Windows 7's ease of use for everyday tasks, but extreme gaming is where this can suffer and it's where the statement is not true.

Source engine games (practically every recent game made by Valve Corp) doesn't run well with Windows 7, often freezing the game if you hold the strafe keys too long (WASD)

Casual games probably have no problems on 7, it's the FPS shooters that will be disappointed.

My review unit was a Intel Core 2 Quad and a Nvidia GTX 275 running Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. Since the Win 7 was on a separate hard drive from my Vista Home Premium SP1 32bit HDD, going back was easy.

Gonna wait until SP1 arrives to see if the gaming problem is fixed.

Update: I'm trying L4D with all the Stickykeys and Filter Keys turned off... I think... and hopefully this solves the problem...

Update #2: Nope, this does not solve the problem, meerly just turning off the Stickykeys or Filter Keys sound. DO NOT USE SOURCE ENGINE GAMES ON WINDOWS 7 at the moment, wait for Windows 7 SP1.
