Windows 7 --> good or bad

**cardinalvices** · 01-08-2009, 08:53 AM

I heard nothing but good about it. I'd definitely buy it when it comes out. Its much faster than Vista.

**tony286** · 01-08-2009, 08:54 AM

Im pissed to try the beta you have to be using fucking vista.

**2012** · 01-08-2009, 09:02 AM

I hope I'm never unfortunate enough to try it

**DannysReviews|com** · 01-08-2009, 09:15 AM

Try streaming live video over a router, it seems choppy. I've tried it on two computers. One high end, one lower end computer over the same connection.

With Vista, the video would always play without loss on both computers. I know windows 7 is beta, so I don't expect a perfect product.

**tranza** · 01-08-2009, 09:22 AM

Hope it's better than Vista!

**kmanrox** · 01-08-2009, 10:54 AM

installing it this weekend, already have the iso and technet license

I'm switching to Mac after being a PC junky since 1994.

xp 4 life

**E.Kant** · 01-08-2009, 12:05 PM

XP was indeed good.
My new notebook had Vista on it and I was not satsified at all.
I dont think windows 7 will be much better. They should raise the first child before
setting up another one ;)

**plugin** · 01-08-2009, 12:08 PM

Good bye windows Vista hello hello Windows 7

**seeandsee** · 01-08-2009, 12:36 PM

**polish_aristocrat** · 01-08-2009, 04:22 PM

Looking forward to try it out... in 2011

**hypedough** · 01-08-2009, 04:23 PM

Too early to really know.

**leek** · 01-08-2009, 04:24 PM

Can't wait to try it. Enough with the haters.

Maybe when Steve Jobs dies the Macfags will shut up.

**Spunky** · 01-08-2009, 04:34 PM

I liked Vista as I didn't have any issues.I'll probably try it out too

Yeah, really.

From the page you posted:

There is also a clean install option for the Win7 beta.

**Barefootsies** · 01-08-2009, 06:34 PM

Give it a try tootsie.

It's a fairly easy and quick install. I haven't done anything more than that, but no issues yet.

Gonna try and install it on a Mac this weekend for shits and giggles.

**chodadog** · 01-08-2009, 07:49 PM

I don't get why people hate on Vista. I've had one bluescreen since I got it, and I've been running it about 9 or 10 months now. Just shell out the few bucks to get enough ram to run it with ease and it's a treat.

**ExLust** · 01-08-2009, 09:55 PM

They say it's good.

**onlymovies** · 01-08-2009, 10:22 PM

i've heard it's pretty good via the geek/computer forums. I've been building a new system so i've been real interested hearing what the those chaps have to say about it. So far it's been surprisingly good. But if you plan on installing early, remember...it's a beta.

**OverdueNudes** · 01-08-2009, 11:23 PM

I mean i'm gonna have to at least give it a try.

**nation-x** · 01-09-2009, 05:34 AM

lol... you can't even get to the site today.

**1BB** · 02-27-2009, 10:29 AM

Um that's why it's called a BETA.

i always get amused when people bitch about betas being buggy.

Windows 7 will be the best version of windows for a desktop

**UniqueD** · 02-27-2009, 10:50 AM

i've been using it on my main system for about 2 months now. its much more stable than vista was. the same system i used to have blue screens 2-3 times a week due to issues with video card drivers.

**undersoul** · 02-27-2009, 10:51 AM

so down on MS products not sure if i will try

i still use XP on an old sony vaio, which i love. its time to change computer though. thinking about mac. don't know yet.

**Khulan** · 02-27-2009, 11:07 AM

Hopefully, it would be good and beat the fucking Vista.

**Horny Dude** · 02-27-2009, 11:21 AM

So how much memory are we going to need to run that? It looks fast, but how much they running on those machines. Vista was a memory hog.

i agree only to disagree - use linux ;- )

**seeandsee** · 03-26-2009, 10:04 AM

Good - Try it

**just a punk** · 03-26-2009, 10:23 AM

I can't wote for nothing. This poll sux because there is no "i don't know" option.

P.S. According to what I heard, Windows 7 will be almos the same useless shit as Vista. But let's hope it won't happen.

You both are wrong. There are 2 ABSOLUTELY different families of windows:
1) MS-DOS-based ones: 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, 95/98/98se/Me
2) NT family: NT 3.x, NT 4.0., 2000 (NT 5.0), XP (NT 5.1), XP64 Pro/Windows Server 2003 (NT 5.2), Vista/Windows Server 2008 (NT 6.0), 7 (NT 6.1)

**Emil** · 03-26-2009, 10:36 AM

I've been using it on my laptop for some time now and I don't really know if I would call it good or bad. I guess it's just OK.

Windows 7 --> good or bad

Windows 7 --> good or bad
