Well, I recently heard that windows 7 will be released on October 22nd 2009...My question is will it be worth it? And who will be upgrading from vista or xp?

**p0p0** · 07-02-2009, 04:12 PM

I'll probably be updating as long as all the proprietary software that came with my laptop works (like Fingerprint Scanner, CineDash console, Intel storage manager). As long as those all work, It'll be worth it.

Mraellis · 07-02-2009, 04:13 PM

I like 7 and since i'm already suing it I'll "upgrade".

**Iconic_187** · 07-02-2009, 09:54 PM

what? your suing windows 7? why?

**p0p0** · 07-03-2009, 06:23 AM

Its so good, he can't let it get out to anyone else.

lol

I haven't actually tried it yet, but so far all the news is good.
I had the Beta ISO, but never got to installing.

Mraellis · 07-03-2009, 08:42 AM

I meant using...

Damn typo... lol

Lol yeah thats why p0p0

**elite999** · 07-04-2009, 03:00 AM

I will be upgrading to windows 7, just by seeing the speed benchmark between XP, Vista, and windows 7.

**p0p0** · 07-04-2009, 09:57 AM

Another reason I remembered to upgrade: Uninstall Internet Explorer. I cannot wait. Everytime I don't connect when it opens, it defaults to "Work Offline" and I have to remember to go set it back or nothing will connect. What a worthless feature.

lol its so ironic how a small typo can change up the meaning of a sentence...
anyways apart from that I've been hearing a lot of good things about windows 7 I havent tried it myself because I have a 3 year old crappy dell dimension and I dont think it will survive an OS transplant XD

Mraellis · 07-05-2009, 09:13 AM

After 3 years you're lucky a dells still running.

And yeah some typos do that.

Yeah, like god and good, example: I did what is god for me. :-P
This is a link for information on windows 7.

**Iconic_187** · 07-05-2009, 03:17 PM

haha yup me and this old dell have had a lot of system restores and crashes throughout the years XD im amazed that it still runs.

RamenKind · 07-23-2009, 01:56 PM

Will be upgrading upon release

**Mabie** · 07-23-2009, 05:13 PM

i've read some reviews, and they're dubbing it as "the redeemer" of windows. i am interested enough to try it out, but what am really looking forward to is the new google wave.

**Iconic_187** · 07-24-2009, 03:29 PM

From what I've gathered, its basically an application within a browser. Allowing instant e-mail and whatnot.

Would have very big applications on the ChromeOS (or GoogleOS, whatever its called) allowing for management of lots of things like E-mail, browsing, even looks like some games without installing on your system.

**Iconic_187** · 07-24-2009, 11:33 PM

hmm I wouldnt be surprised if google developed their oen opertaing system XD

They are. Aside from "Android", their making a GoogleOS, which I think is mostly run from Chrome.

**Iconic_187** · 07-25-2009, 12:44 PM

I mean operating system as in windows and mac os status....

Mraellis · 07-25-2009, 01:08 PM

Yeah thats what the Chrome OS is.

Is it better then Vista in your opinion? What are the changes, I mean I've read online it's just people have different prespectives then what manuals etc. say.

you should install a beta version so you can see for yourself =]

nick48 · 07-28-2009, 12:35 AM

Well is it irreversible? If so, when I change back to Vista will all my files be deleted? If so I'll have to pass on it.

Well yeah they'd be deleted since you have to format unless you use an different hdd to do it.

It's faster for a start. Noticeably faster on bootup without the annoying little mini crash Vista does on me for 1min when it first loads and i click firefox. It hasn't BSOD'd on me yet whereas Vista does it like twice a month. It looks nicer and the graphics don't eat up as much processor/memory usage as Vista. When it installed it only took like 30 mins and picked up all my drivers except the gfx card, which was to be expected since i have a HD4870. Fortunately it picked up my onboard so i just had to use that 5 mins. Vista btw didn't pick up a couple of drivers when i installed that.

Also majority of software i have used works great on it.

I do dislike the new paint though since they made it look like Word 2007 and thats ugly.

nick48 · 07-28-2009, 12:18 PM

Sounds pretty impressive, well as for now Vista has been treating me good, until I notice some sudden changes I'll have this has a backup plan. Thanks for sharing.

**Iconic_187** · 09-07-2009, 07:15 PM

so anyone else gonna upgrade when its release?

**Skyline34** · 09-25-2009, 11:37 AM

Windows 7 Darker Edition is what I have and it's been perfect in every aspect so far.

**larryr** · 09-25-2009, 03:30 PM

Darker Edition? never heard of it.

I have been using 7 beta on my laptop, and its much more stable then when Vista first came out...

microsoft, you win a cookie.

**p0p0** · 09-25-2009, 04:22 PM

I had Windows 7 Ultimate very shortly as a duel-boot on my laptop. I'm not upgrading my Vista installation yet because:

1. It isn't even out yet (officially)
2. With that, means any bugs found have NOT been fixed yet, or specifically any bugfixes.
3. My teachers do not recommend it as it hasn't been tested with the applications we use

Though it may seem very safe now, there are many flaws and bugs that can compromise the system. One of my teachers demonstrated hacking it with an extra PC he had. Took him 5 minutes to get into it, full access.

Of course hes been in IT for about 30 years (yup, hes used punch cards), so I give him some credit when he tells us what software is safe and even demos is.

Anyone who really wants to try Windows 7, I recommend getting Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 or VMWare instead of installing it directly on your system.
