Windows 7
 

I don't know if this has been posted yet, but i just switched my laptop over to Windows 7 and its absolutely amazing. It is so streamlined, and has everything Vista didn't have and none of the problems that people associate Vista with. not to mention its a few GB smaller than Vista Ultimate.

But this post is for humor not for information, so I thought of this pic I had saved on my desktop and it seemed relevant, and will hopefully bring a smile to your face. :D

As a computer guy I will not jump on the Vista v. other OS stuff. But I will agree that Win7 is going to be a nice update to the Windows OS line (even though I enjoy Vista). There are going to be a few versions, as Vista had, but a couple are not going to be sold in the US or other major countries. They have two that are aimed at low cost for developing nations, and another for a specific version. So while I can say there are six or seven Win7 being produced, only four or five will be in the states.

*Note: Not counting the thousand different illegal versions. ;)

"Windows 7 Pirated Edition" looks nice...........hahahahah

Hell naw!
I do not trust new microsoft stuff.
Wait it out for a year then I'll try it.
Windows XP Professional until then.

Trust me MS 7 is the nicest OS I have ever used. BUT I do agree, because in most situations I am not an early adopter. I normally wait for them to get all the kinks and bugs out.

Yes sirrrr!
How is it though?
Any bugs or lag?

Nope its perfect. Like I said before, everything Vista didn't have and none of the problems it did have.

What is your definition of lag?
Currently it is in Beta form so there are still some problems. When I ran it for a couple of weeks, waiting for the next build to be released, I had a few problems some specific programs and one drive. Other than that everything that works in Vista will most likely work in Win7. Also, the reason I had issue with programs was because they went against changes in Win7, like the new taskbar and such.

Current test show it loads a bit faster than Vista in some instances, they re-did superfetch, UAC has been overhauled, and other things. If I can find the list of major changes I will post it.

^^^Yeah I think the next release available will be in August. I was amazed at the compatibility factor with software. Pretty much everything that I've installed that I had with Vista ultimate loads with no problem.

BUT again I wasn't posting this thread to inform or debate, I was just reminded of that goofy fake Ad for Win 7 :D

Two words: Snow Leopard ;)

:gtfo2:

Kidding, I have owned two iPhones and almost bought the gen 2 Macbook Air.

I like "Slight Downpour Lynx". :icon14:

Win 7 is very nice and runs smoothly even on older boxes. I have been in the IT field since 1985, and this is the smoothest OS I have seen in a while. Blows Vista out the door.

Vista did it in for me ... bough a macbook and have been pretty happy, minor gripes aside.
