Windows 7

[Maverick]

If you have it, what do you think of it?

[Black or White]

I have just made the upgrade last night to it and I am impressed. I wrote a tweaking guide today of all the annoyances I found with it here: http://www.teenforumz.com/general-teen-articles-forum/12447-windows-7-tweak-guide.html#post194259

I like the interface, it hasnt been such a resource hog and it hasnt crashed once yet. I havent had the opportunity to really test it out but so far so good and I must say I am rather impressed with it, other than the nuisances I found with it of course.

I'm still running the RC version. It's SO much better than Vista. It runs well on fairly shitty computers also.

[JackOfClubs]

I think it is fantastic. I had the RC running on my old laptop with 512MB RAM, and it was faster than when it had XP. I have a new laptop now and it amazing. Not a single problem yet.

[Zero Beat]

Im getting it soooooon. So sick of vista. :D Lets see if W7 can beat OS X SL. :D I can say windows 7 doesnt need as much typing to name, thats a good. + one Microsoft.

[enzenzz]

I liked it better than Vista, used to prefer XP still but as you use 7 it gets better :)

I got W7 on my DET provided laptop for kids in NSW year 9, Its not that bad, the only problem is actually not a problem with 7 but with the system administrator, blocked everything by group policy.... Gahh, But other than that, i love it,

+1 For MS

[The Batman]

I had the RC and besides a few cosmetic upgrades and it being faster i didn't see it being any different than vista which i already love. However I am really thinking about buying it in a few months if i want it.

[Whisper]

im considering upgrading once i have enough cash and feel like installing my new harddrive thats been sitting on my desk for a good 3 weeks now

[AllThatIsLeft]

I will install it eventually.

[Aηdy]

Students can buy it for like £30 which is less than half the retail price. So I am actually considering buying a copy of windows :shock:

But even the RC is so much more stable than vista. It's a lot quicker too.

[klep]

good. but it doesnt load up any faster for me. but i cant play sim city on it =(

[Rutherford The Brave]

I love it, it's a step better than vista and it definatly fits my comp. I think its a great new addition and would recommend upgrading as soon as possible

[Aηdy]

The worth thing about W7 is the networking. Everything is just automatic. In XP you had some fucking options at least!

[ManyPearTree]

My dad got w7 ultimate from his college for $20. I modified stuff to activate it on my
laptop and his.

I think it's great! Especially the snap and shake feature.

Pros:
- It boosted my index score from 4.9 with An average of 5.2 to 5.1 with an average of 5.5 (6.1 highest)

-Aero Peek with the Super Bar is a great if you multitask.

-Lock/sleep has decreased in time significantly.

Cons:

-Control Panel is messed up and hard to navigate

-Bloatware is unacceptable (trials and adverts)

-No Driver compatable with my Satellite P200's built in Fingerprint Scanner.

Windows 7 was only made because lots of people hated vista, therefore it's good as its similar to vista but microsoft fixed vista and called it windows 7

[Suicune]

Hopefully I can buy it soon! It sounds and looks so much better than Vista! :D

[Falk 'Ace' Flyer]

If you're not currently running Windows 7, there'd better be a hella good reason; this applies to everybody ever.

Um I'm a 13 year old boy who get's paid minimum wage and by that I mean the only money I pretty much make is birthday and Christmas money. Is that a good enough reason?

[Oren]

I'm hoping i'll get it for Christmas. I liked XP better for the speed but Vista for the options... Hope it'll be worth it.

I got a free upgrade disk from Dell and finally installed it. I like it it runs using alot less ram the Vista did, and they overhauled paint. Came with some cool desktop backgrounds, its all good expect the new version of media player i don't like it, but they added a play count option which they really needed.

[Giles]

I'm not sure whether to get it... I absolutely hate vista, but I love xp... any thoughts?
Should I get it?

If you are using windows vista right now I would upgrade. If you are using windows XP I wouldn't bother upgrading and just wait to use Windows 7 once you buy a new computer.

Fair enough, I might be buying a gaming laptop from one of my friends in a few month anyway.

[Tiberius]

I now have Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit installed on both my computers and I...love it! It's so much faster and sleeker than that bloated Vista. I'm in love now.

[Zero Beat]

and they overhauled paint

Yay for new paint :P About time! :D

Isnt it funny how windows went from numbers to words then back to numbers... Windows 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, then NT, back to numbers, 95, then 98, 2000... Me, XP... Vista and now back to numbers. 7. And the next one (Named Windows 8 from noted in a windows meeting -sorry no link-)

[Kahn]

I am downloading it as we speak.

[My_Toes_Are_Cold]

... I don't know about the rest of you, but Windows 7 is pretty awesome.

[Ghosthustler]

If you are using windows vista right now I would upgrade. If you are using windows XP I wouldn't bother upgrading and just wait to use Windows 7 once you buy a new computer.

I think XP users should wait until the first Service Pack to upgrade. :yes:

[Buddy]

I have gad it for a few weeks now and it is a lot better
than vista.

[Simon]

Windows 7 = Great
Vista = Don't Ask
