windows 7
 

Thinking about putting it on my editing computer. Would you recommend just adding a partition or clean c drive? Adding partition looks appealing that if I dont like it I dont have to reformat everything. Or was thinking buy another hard drive they are cheap and could put it on that.If I dont like it I just can swap the drives. Your thoughts?

it's very good

once you install it, you wont need to go back

i'm tempted aswell.

Vista is working fine for me. No reason to dick around with changes. I don't need to have the most current version of windows to get by.

I've been thinking of throwing it on a box as well.

What's new in it it anyway? it's basically what vista was supposed to be?

and what's the device drivers situation like? it runs on vista drivers?

Its worth trying out. I'd get the extra harddrive, save you making any install mistakes and alot of time resizing and fucking around with partitions.

I need to update my laptizzle with the new version of the beta. I'm pretty sure the new one lets you run it for a whole year, or so I've heard and too lazy to look up myself.

but shit, i dont think i have my key anymore :(

spend the $40 on a hd to test it on if you dont have spare hd's laying around.

w7 is awesome, you won't go to vista... i got 64bit version running for over a month with not 1 issue

win7 > same as vista

Been running Windows 7 for a few months now. Haven't run into one bug, crash, hiccup...nothing! It's really was vista was supposed to be I guess. Only real "major" change really is the taskbar, which is somewhat like an OSX dock.

They just released the RC client - I'll prolly reformat and upgrade to the new one this week.

For the record, I use the entire adobe suite, and a few lesser known programs - I.E. Videocharge, ACDSEE, Filezilla, etc. as well as a few games that all run without a hitch.

I installed this on my main computer - an HP "desktop replacer" the first of its kind from HP, and didn't have to fuss over any drivers...it all just *worked* right after install, which was very cool, considering the model had just been released by HP and all.

love windows 7. been running the orig beta for a long time on a production machine and laptop. downloaded the latest RC and will be installing that tomorrow. awesome + no crashes. highly recommend

My next pc upgrade will be when win7 final is released.

best from microsoft...

I will tested this days also , many people says that this is the best OS ever

go ahead and buy a new hard drive..
putting it on a partition is less safe.. you'll lose both partition if your HD fail..

best windows OS ever, hands down.. blows vista away

works flawlessly, automatically downloads drivers from the net, etc.... no crashing... its just awesome

from what i read you can even uninstall IE8 if you want

yea, im glad i never went to vista. so glad that 7 is coming out soon so i can skip the 0 and get with HEROOOOOO!!!

ricky lake style muhfuckies

I am not even sure what the whole anti-vista thing is about... I have been running it for over a year and I have never had any problems with it.

I'm going to upgrade my one and only Vista box this weekend.

Had it running on my Netbook the other day and was impressed with how well it ran there.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

vista is windows 7 cock :)

Im going to put it on a new HD. Thanks everyone for your thoughts.

same here, i tried vista on my laptop and hated it with a passion... stayed with XP... windows 7 is extremely stable even in beta

windows 7 is about 100x better than vista

it's light, very fast and never crashes

all the vista drivers work on windows 7, but most places already offer windows 7 drivers anyway

I plan to throw it on my other 500gig drive and dual-boot (well, triple boot), XP, W7 and Ubuntu over the weekend.
