bbobby86 · 08-15-2009, 03:46 PM

I can say it is not badd at all...
I like it...

Chosen · 08-15-2009, 03:51 PM

Yeah Windows 7 looks pretty cool comparing to Vista

Jdoughs · 08-15-2009, 03:52 PM

It not only looks cool compared to Vista, it kills Vista in performance.

alias · 08-15-2009, 03:52 PM

What is the deal it is free for 6 months or something then you need a license?

Twig · 08-15-2009, 03:52 PM

I'll stick with XP until 7 is finished. By finished I mean all the initial updates released and whatnot.

stickyfingerz · 08-15-2009, 03:55 PM

Had it on my laptop dual boot almost a month now. No issues at all. Going to add it as dual boot to my desktop as well here shortly. Just need to grab a sata pci adapter as I am out of sata ports lol.

I totally agree. For some odd reason, there is a huge lack of problems from people lol.

candyflip · 08-15-2009, 05:01 PM

It's the best OS I've managed to get running on my Netbooks.

This is one of those times that after you switch, you wished you would have been a little more open and done it months ago.

There is several threads on this board by webmasters who installed it to try it out and have never went back. I don't think there was/is one negative thing in any of those many threads. If you use special programs like submitters or anything like that, just check if there is issues with them to be sure.

I've yet to find anything that doesn't work with it. CPU/RAM/TEMP everything is running twice as cool and twice as fast as before. I would recommend it to anyone.

EDIT (maybe not TWICE as cool and fast, but it sure feels like it.)

pamon · 08-15-2009, 05:32 PM

win 7 is awesome. stable, no crashes and works like a charm. running the RC candidate and will buy the new version when out. they hit a winner on win 7

beta-tester · 08-15-2009, 05:42 PM

it runs so smooth as virtual machine and I already like it ;)

SBJ · 08-15-2009, 05:42 PM

cool I just ordered a new laptop yesterday and tue or wed when I get it I'll look into putting windows 7 on it cause i can't stand vista and my current laptop i upgraded back to XP but will be nice to upgrade to something better..

The 'trial' is a year I believe.

milambur · 08-15-2009, 06:04 PM

My brother installed it on a really crappy laptop, it runs really fast. He had alot of problems before with vista on that computer, none of those problems appeared in win 7.
A friend that plays wow installed it and latency dropped alot among other things.
From what I have seen and heard very few people have had problems with the Win 7 RC.

I think they will get it really good from start, in truth they have to if they are to convince the major organizations to switch from XP.

Depending on when you get Vista, you may get a free upgrade.

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/0...-to-windows-7/

Specifically, the estimated prices in the United States for a Windows 7 upgrade are:

* Windows 7 Home Premium (Upgrade): $119.99
* Windows 7 Professional (Upgrade): $199.99
* Windows 7 Ultimate (Upgrade): $219.99

And the estimated prices for the full Windows 7 package are:

* Windows 7 Home Premium (Full): $199.99
* Windows 7 Professional (Full): $299.99
* Windows 7 Ultimate (Full): $319.99

thanks candyflip & jdough, a year free is like forever.. . prob will have a new laptop by then

Yngwie · 08-15-2009, 07:13 PM

I have windows 7 installed on my 2nd hard drive in this computer. Runs awesome.

Dirty Dane · 08-15-2009, 07:19 PM

Serge Litehead · 08-15-2009, 07:50 PM

It seems like it on the surface...are you judging performance by what? How fast it boots? How quickly windows and browsers open? How fast a file copies?

When I tested it, 3d renders in Mental Ray were about 25% slower than my Vista computer of the same CPU and motherboard, with the same 3d scene file. I like it, but I think I'll wait for a service pack or 2.

the RC candidate goes for a year and in october/nov win 7 is released. awesome clean user interface.

Toni · 08-15-2009, 11:52 PM

I am planning to install it as soon as it gets officially released

tiger · 08-16-2009, 12:16 AM

I'm loving it. Only issue I have noticed is something with my sound card, popping noise sometimes and some times the sleep power save thing doesn't work quite right but I just turned that off anyway.

Overall runs fast, very stable and tons of nice new features, coming from XP anyway, never bothered with Vista.

nolongerexists · 08-16-2009, 12:47 AM

windows 7 is finished, look around for W7 RTM, not RC ;-)

08-16-2009, 01:27 AM

I'm gonna install it on my moms laptop tomorrow since it's got the RAM and shit for it, debating if I wanna risk trying it on my work machine which ironically is an old Dell Dimension 3000 that only has 512MB of RAM.

hypedough · 08-16-2009, 01:31 AM

Does Photoshop run well on it?

paymeback · 08-16-2009, 08:42 AM

If you play games stick to XP, win7 will only drop your fps

Probably just some video driver tweaks that would need done? Might check on That guru3d site see if anyone has started modifying drivers for it yet.

Marcus · 08-16-2009, 09:41 AM

7 was cool but it didnt have the video driver so things looked weird, so I was forced to go back to Vista

Weird are you using a really old card or something?

dyna mo · 08-16-2009, 10:39 AM

the new directx driver with w7 is very nice, i noticed a difference immediately and other gamers are saying fps is better

magmamoose · 08-16-2009, 10:42 AM

i think microsoft have got it spot on with 7. im intending to buy it shortly after release.. i haven't bothered with the RC though, havent really had time to play around with my system in ages.

i run ubuntu though top open source os :-)))
