WHAT THE HELL IS WINDOWS 7????

[jsc]

It's pretty apparent that I am not alone here, but it seems to me that Win7 is the Vista that Vista was supposed to be.

it's all about maintainance of the system........

i remember not more than 1 year ago.....i had a pentium 3 @797mhz CPU packed with intel d815 board with a IBM video card with 16mb vga and single 512mb sd ram @100fsb and a 16gb IDE (mostly crashing) ........DON'T JUS LAUGH AWAY

...it raned XP like power house.. every 1 was jus speachless.. not even a core duo could run like that it was all superfast... it had de best performance of xp potential i ever had... and reason.. it's still unknown 2 me... my dualcoes and quads does'nt run like that on x64..

i ran DOOM3 @1024 @low quality and @800 without glitches!!!!! when i ripped a ASUS MX4000 128mb AGPx4-2

That's an odd response.

7 is very similar to vista in many of the basic features, and yet you say they "removed everything bad (everything) from Vista", which implies a removal of everything. In addition, it doesn't add that much that is from macs, which is good IMHO, because I can't do anything on a mac. The operating system is so much less intuitive than Windows is, and as a result, it takes me 20 minutes to do anything that would have taken 5 on Vista.

I'd classify that as being more familiar with Windows than being more intuitive. Intuitive means "taking someone that knows nothing about computers and having them grasp it instinctively." Both Windows and Mac are equal in this regards. But, once you learn one system, it becomes intuitive for the newer versions in my experience.

If you have 3gb ram, stay vista until 7 is worked out. it is never just a release, it is for the quick and crazy to figure out.

Then after the sp1 or equal, install 7 anytime, the 3gb is suddenly twice what it used to be according to the GDI resource changes. For me again, seeing encoding time or any work compiling, binary or REAL things to do with a computer stopped at a prescott HT, and vista premium, and above benchmark still showing no signs of intelligence on earth, I would only be humoring a new os for the gdi stuff, in which I am not having any problems with anyway, on highest settings for every hog video wise.

I do recommend vista premium or greater, it was down to 100 bucks in some places....

I've ran almost every Windows 7 build out, this is by far the best OS M$ has put out. I have had few problems, and most were driver issue's. Windows 7 will blow Vista out of the water, and hopefully off the planet. 😉 j/k .. It reall is a excellent OS, I rcomend anybody with a extra pc or extra room on a hard drive, to download it on the 5th. It's the RC and microsoft has not limited the keys this time so they want everyone to check it out. There is also a xp mode for those of you that want/need to keep your xp only programs running.

If you have 3gb ram, stay vista until 7 is worked out. it is never just a release, it is for the quick and crazy to figure out.

It runs fine with 2gb - wich is what I currently have. and most of the beta testing is done... the RC will be out on the 5th (to the public) then they will release the RTM to the vendors and by the fall I'm sure you will be able to purchase a laptop with Windows 7 on it. Oh and you'd be nuts to wait 2 years for a sp1 - and untill you try it out and see what I mean, no response needed. 😉
