Default Windows 7
I just installed it a few hours ago. And to be honest, it is so much faster than XP. By the way, what you think about it?

What games do you play? Windows 7 is so great, I need to get into gaming. But not all games are supported by OS...?

I believe you can run the games in compatibility mode and it should work...
I'm not sure though, I haven't personally tried Windows 7 yet.

That's true. And you should try, it's amazing OS.

All games that run on Vista/XP should work on Win7 as well.

ALL my games work anyways (and I'm even on 64bit):
Crysis series
Command and conquer series
All steam games
Battlefield series
COD4 (COD2 doesn't install... didn't install on Vista either though, little TOO old I guess :P )
Fallout3
GRID
Alone in the dark
STALKER
FEAR
GRAW
The Sims
World of Warcraft
... and the list goes on


So pretty much any game should work

If you want some suggestions of good games:
Crysis (if your pc can handle it)
COD4
Half life 2 (I love this game, get this and the episodes for a epic linear FPS with very deep story)
Counter Strike Source (I play it everyday, you can play anything on this. Serious maps, fun maps, surfing or zombies, ..)

I just had problems with anticheat program, DMW Client, which is made for Medal of Honor Allied Assault.

Lol, I'm planning to get it and a new hard drive with it as well.
So all games should work? Just a bit of problems with some anti-cheat detection?
How would Windows 7 compare to Windows Vista Ultimate?

Hm... intriguing...
Ya, but then I don't want to format this drive, so I'll probably get another hard drive before I go to Windows 7 and just transfer stuff over.
I'm very eager to get Windows 7 because Windows Vista has many many annoyances...
