I finally broke down and bought a
 

...new computer. It has Windows 7 64 bit OS and at this point I can't say that I am overly impressed with it as being better than XP Pro 32 bit OS...but maybe with time I may change my mind.

I am using my dual core 2400+ with 2gb ram for yrs, next time i buy it, it will cover me to 2020 :)

You'll only see the difference between 64 and 32 if you're doing really heavy stuff...like 3d animation. But overall 7 is way better than XP. It's the most stable operating system I've ever seen -- Mac or PC.

You need to stop doing

that shit with the thread titles. Go play army in the forest. PEW PEW!!

I've been on Windows 7 for about 9mo. now and must say its as stable if not more then XP.

Using windows 8 consumer preview, was like buying a new computer. The thing boots up and is ready to go before router has connected to internet.

Windows 8 and Classic Shell is a good combination.

How can one get a copy of the consumer preview?

Seriously. Someone should teach paw paw how to work the interwebs.

congrats. do it have also a monitor?

Go away dead guy

Turn this on:

start > all programs > accessories > system tools > pathfinder

Runs a lot smoother.

Cool story...
