Windows 7

[TJCoro]

XP Rules!

I have yet to upgrade from XP and yet to see any reason to.

I'm with you, senor monkeyman.

If it ain't bloke and all that...

BJ, BJCoro


I'm still using Win95

Just read 15 pages of reviews in PCPro and whilst 7 seems to be an improvement from Vista it is still 20-30% slower than XP.

Nothing has convinced me to upgrade...oh well another 3 years with XP ....lets hope Windows 9 is worthwhile.

I went from XP to 7, and I gotta say I love 7. I have a mac and a pc, and in my view, Microsoft finally did something right. Both Mac and Microsoft decided to make their latest offering less bloated, and in the case of Windows 7, the is is light, fast, and, dare I say it, stable.

I completely avoided Vista altogether because I'm a gamer and I didn't want to go through all of the problems people were having with it. However, 7 has worked like a charm with all of my games, programs, and so on. And it loads more quickly than xp.

And I have to agree with Big T UK--Macs make it very difficult to get into their guts and mess around with things.

A voice of sanity! LOL

I went from XP to 7 and rather like it although my work-a-day machine is still XP. My "beast" I built for games (which I never play, don't ask) has 7 and it would be REALLY GOOD if only they wrote decent drivers for my Creative X-Fi soundcard. I have four gig or ram in my setup and there is some bug they never fixed with Vista that has made it into 7. With four gig and my soundcard, it just makes a horrid distorted noise.

Anyway......

I'm still looking for this on the cheap if anyone has any pointers, my brother bought it for ?50 so I begrudge paying any more than he did!

I love W-7. It's very intuitive and fast.
Start up and shut down are amazingly fast.

That's too bad. I use the HT Omega Striker without issue. Did you upgrade or do a clean install?

[monkey66]

I still haven't made the jump and won't for my mission critical stuff. Spent too many years with dodgy drivers and conflicts to go back.

PC's you boys. I dunno, why don't you just chuck 'em ..... and get a Mac!

If you send me a Mac, I'll chuck my pc!

[TJCoro]

Win7 it is.

Well amigos,

After hangin' with XP on my massive Dell PC, I decided to go with Windows 7 when I discovered the Pentium 4 in my Dell could not handle HiDef Video.

So I built a new computer (my first) with a Intel i5 quad-core processor and Windows 7. So far, I'm lovin' it....but I keep my Dell around just in case


Names Perro, El Perro, and it was quite difficult building a computer without opposing thumbs!


I would have lent a hand, but I was busy playin' with me blu-balls!

[rokkitsci]

Hear, hear!

Stout fellow! Quite right!

I dont know how I got by all these years without the 'snap to side' windows feature. Since I very recently got a 1080p 22" monitor, theres a lot of screen real estate and being able to quickly position two windows side by side is a real blessing.

Also W7 looks so pretty

i have upgraded my computer and some friends computers from vista to windows 7 because vista is a bad OS.

I had vista on my laptop and then installed some updates and then i got the blue screen of death, same thing happend to my my friends pc. so after installing windows 7 it fixed everything and its much friendlier then vista. Vista reminds me of windows 2000 millenium edition.
