Lol, the preview of Win 7 and the discussion in the other thread didn't convince you before?

I'm setting up my main computer now, downloading and installing drivers and such. Just installed the OS tonight and its worth every penny I payed for it.

i've heard nothing but compatibility issues. but i guess it was with the rc builds.

but now, i'm starting to dislike vista coz it keeps on accessing my hdd even at idle with almost zero cpu usage. i want a very snappy experience

I guess, Microsoft with its Windows 7 will keep all its promise and the story of all these 3 tales will have a happy ending :-)

Yeah, maybe. The only issues I recall were with the RC1 builds, or maybe it was the beta...and only with a few pieces of software, e.g. Daemon Tools and Skype didn't work back then.

I've been on Win7 for just a few days now, but have had zero compatibility issues with anything so far...as smooth a clean-install experience as I could have hoped for. Still getting used to the new Taskbar, but am loving Aero Peek and (especially) Libraries.

I'm not a windoze guy..

Im really not.

But truthfully, IF, I could get win7 to LOOK DIFFERENT.
To ditch that Vista-esque appearance (for that of Windows 2000, or unthemed XP), I would use it.

Win == True

What do you call a program that installs 3GB of undeletable files on you flash drive... A virus.. NO Mac! Really it happened to me! I just wanted to print a file and the only computer that could print was a mac book and just putting it in caused Mac to add 3GB of hidden undeletable files... (Thats why you can always recover files, theres a back-up thats bigger than them and your Mac can't see hidden files!)

[QUOTE=VulcanDragon;7493407]Hmm, this isn't what I thought it was going to be...I was expecting a performance tuning guide. Oh well.

My rig got a lowly 5.9 Windows Experience score...something's wrong, everything was in the 7.x's except my drive got a 5.9. But it's a Velociraptor, not some old 5400rpm junker! I'll have to try again tonight when I get home, I scheduled a defrag to run last night. Or I wonder if it's using the wrong drive...one would think that the C: drive would be the "primary" drive to Windows; but it is actually the third in my BIOS, behind two 7200rpm drives.[/QUOTE

Yeah its a shame that one component drags your score down... Im in the same boat

Seems to me like for real this should have been vista sp3.. I can't believe they are charging the prices they are for this when clearly it barely out performs vista except maybe in battery life for laptops. I will be sticking with my vista ultimate 64.
