Windows 7 News
 

For all you people whom think Vista is so great maybe you will notice the comment written in the link AVGWarhawk stated.

"After Windows Vista landed with a thud, Microsoft needs a hit, said Michael Cherry, an analyst for the research group Directions on Microsoft." :woot:


Whenever you get here "Windows 7" I'm waiting with XP. :arrgh!:

Yup vista is a pain in the rear end. windows 7 looks very promising. :yeah:

I have no issues running Vista at all. I think a lot of it is unfounded at this stage of the game. I use it at home without issue. Many say that 7 is faster. Thus far, I have only seen faster boot up with 7. I will probably upgrade but I'm waiting to see the final result for 7 and if it is really worth it. In all reality, the only major grip by most with Vista is UAC. Personally, I have no issue with it. But, yes, MS needs to have this new OS flawless on release. It is getting close to release and hope posts like this help all make an informed decision. So far from what I have seen, my Vista is just fine. Either way I would not go back to XP. Great OS XP is but I find it drab now.

Oh I'm not going back to XP either. I'll stick with vista till the full release of windows 7. Unless MS does the same change with vista beta to Vista released when windows 7 is ready.

I also have no issues with vista.:yep:

Why did you post a link to fox news when there is better computer news sources out there?

This fox news fanboyism is just out of hand. Same with the left posting everything from their darling MSNBC.

Are we talking Windows 7 here or news stations? :06: Sure, there are better sources....funny though, the Vista forums/Windows 7 forums sponsored by MS did not make a mention of this today. :06:

PS: I find it hard to believe Fox lives on nothing but lies... I would suspect a libel suit might crop up every now and then, no?

I tried the vista beta and was permanently scarred...ill stick with XPSP3

I bet the beta scared the crap out of just everyone who touched it. Using Vista now for over two months...nothing to be scared of now. It is a good OS.

Kinda like Vista bad rap.....now we see how this comes about.

:yeah:
I certainly will give Windows 7 a go, sounds like the one Vista should have been, I will purchase a new HDD just for that, if there are any problems I can put the old HDD back!:yep:

Ditto here. Have two Towers and one laptop on Vista - not a single problem, ever. One thing did have to go to the junk pile ... a HP Scanjet IIc SCSI scanner that had an estimated age of 14 YEARS! of use on it.

I took the oldest piece of junk [worst one] that I have in my spare junk stock pile of 6 PCs that my customers were going to throw into a Dumpster.

An Acer Veriton model 5200D only having 512 meg Ram, crappy on-board graphics card [guessing it has on 128 video ram or less], 80-gig h.d. and everything else is OLD "stuff" for hardware etc. ... and Windows 7 beta runs like a CHAMP!

Not a single problem installing and using it on the first try. It really is a speed demon [Windows 7 on hardware greater than 6 years old] for you folks pondering what to do 12-24 months from now.

XP got retired and I don't miss a single thing about it.

Theres been a new Windows 7 Beta 7048 leaked onto the net and every body who is using it say it's litterely Release candidate 1, I'm running the 7000 build and have no problems at all, it runs fantastic.

Oh Boy. Another new OS to look forward to. I just darn well better be able to play DW(LWAMI), SC(SCXIIc), and SH4 on the thing. And all the other non-gaming software I use as well. That's the part I hate about new OS releases.....:dead:

All should work without issue. SH4 worked straight out of the box for me on Vista Home Premium 64. COD WaW no issues. All non-gaming programs are fine. What I did not like was not having MS Office 2007 as part of the OS. It is a separate program that you pay for on top of the OS. :down: I have read that Windows 7 beta is great from the word go. MS needs to have a flawless new OS after the Vista debacle.

Just an aside, if I recall correctly, there were always sizeable numbers of people decrying every new release of Windows. Looking back, some versions were keepers (Win 95, Win XP) and some were dogs. My beef with Win Vsita are the system requirements. As a layman, I admit I don't know all the details that it takes to make an OS work, but I object to the ever-increasing amount of RAM and processing power it takes for Windows to open a file or manage my programs. Hopefully, Win 7 will be much "lighter".

It kind of goes hand and hand. If the hardware makers are designing faster products, MS might as well make an OS that utilizes this speed. Vista core to speed is 'super fetch'. Vista is power hungry but if you feed it, it runs great. Even the game developers are utilizing this new found power and speed. We are seeing games that require dual cores and super lighting video cards. Rise of Flight for example. But, people like you and me will lay down the money for fast hardware because it is what we like to do with our spare time. We are just two of billions who do this as a hobby, etc. I can not be proof positive but Windows 7 will be just as hungry for power but, no matter, in a week you will have a fast computer that will take all comers with ease:up:

PS: Yes, I held onto Windows 98 until my hands could not clutch it anymore. I lived through XP.
