Windows 7 and your opinion

[Nolt]

Hi tp fans ;p
Im curious what do you think about new OS from MS - Windows 7? Anyone tested it ? I do... and I must say even in this stage W7 is amazing, this time company from Redmond did a very good job. I tested it on virtual machine with with 1gb set for this system and its "eats" only about 400-500mb RAM with gadgets, paint, games and FF3 ON. When I tested first release of this system i knew, it will be good and ask myself and hope to keep dev it in this way... and im not disappointed.
At end ... ppl hate Vista same as me ... but vista is like dead millenium os... it was fast release and fast forgotten...

I personally have no problem with Vista, it's purely down to end user configuration. It has it's quirks, but then so does all OS's. ME was an entirely different story, but I'm only going by word of mouth, I've never used it. I did, however, hate 98 with it's really annoying lockups. PCs only really become usable tools when XP was released.. it was stable and actually productive.

To be honest, I don't give much of a hoot about the OS, it's a platform for the software I want to use.. As long as it does that well, I don't care for bells and whistles. Vista looks nice, I like the black task bar and with Windows 7 you can arrange the tabs on the task bar, like the tabs in FF, which I find has been lacking since day 1.

I think Win7 is an improved Vista. Only problem I have with MS is that they charge you an arm and a leg, and only give you an updated OS. When are they going to pull their heads out of their butts and actually do it right the first time around? I will try Win7 on one computer at my house. But only because my work is a MS Partner and I will get it cheaper than most people.

Hehe I remember somewhere you wrotted about your Mac

@IchBinâ„¢
But you remember times when XP came out? People said same things cuz they loved W98 and they will not use XP... and now? Same thing will be in far future when XP will be dead (it is now almost dead) ppl will hate Windows 10 or 2015 or whatever it will be called and they will not want to leave W7... beside... XP can handle only 3gb ram not more, dont supports good 2 or 4 core processors. Its old system for these times.

That ol' chestnut?  sheesh, change the record!.. Macs suk and are overrated crApple pretty fashion accessories. I vowed I'd never buy an iPod, I had to relent eventually when my trusty iRiver MP3 player died, with the size of my music collection, and it's a big collection, I needed a high capacity player.

Buying that iPod has been the worst consumer purchase I made.. it randomly crashes, skips tracks halfway through playing for no reason, click back to the start and it will play all the way through. The firmware is rubbish, they've now encrypted the firmware, I was hoping to put Rockbox OS on it.

And I hate iTunes and the fact that the first thing they want from you is credit card details when you register and thats before making a purchase.. Unreal.


I WILL NEVER BUY crApple again.

I used almost all Windowses (98, ME, 2000, NT, XP,, even i configured W2003 server as a workstation ;p and ofc normal use W2003 server as dhcp, mail, domain and active directory server... Vista and ofc 7).
ME was kinda oh piece of crap... all the time BLUE screen or freezes. Vista is more faster after SP2 that ive heard but honestly didnt tested it a lot. But purpose of releaseing Vista was only that to show for users and try to get frendly with new-futured GUI and manage tools integrated to it (to bad it was and it is payed way to make users frendly to new OS :/)

I am ßeta testing Win7 and you will be pleasantly surprised. it takes the OS up a notch. I am running it right now. I dual boot to Vista, but that is just there actually as a safe guard to be able to boot the system I am running Win7 as my full OS.

Vista SP2 does help Vista alot. Vista SP1 is what Vista should of been when released. SP2 helps it out alot.

Win 2003 is my choice, will probably stay with it to for a long time ahead, At this moment it have been up and not even rebooted for over 30 days and still not even the slightest slow. It just keeps ticking

G6 Win2003 is good, but Win2008 is even better. At one time I was running it as a workstation/desktop OS. There have been several articles written on how to convert it to run as a workstation rather than a server.
