I really don't know what to say about Windows 7.

Since I've never used Vista, because none of my computers were destroyed in it's brief existence, I really don't know if it's as crap as everyone says, or why Windows is abandoning the whole concept so quickly (if they are abandoning the concept).

And really I haven't seen much news of Windows 7. So I'm neutral.

I don't see why everyone seems to hate Vista. I've had for over a year now and my Mum has had it for at least 2 and a half. We've never had any problems with it ever.

Plus from what my friend tells me, Windows 7 has a similar design to Vista so their not really abandoning it..

Vista is horrible for laptops.

I </3 it.

Although it would be nice for my desktop... since it supports DX10 and all.

Edit: I have a bootleg copy of windows 7 that was given to me, and I have roughly 200GB of non-partitioned space. But I really, really cba to install it.

Really? Vista likes to disable the wifi, freeze, and generally act like windows 95 on my laptop. I assumed it's because the laptop isn't always shut down right(It can't... vista rarely lets it)

I'm thinking i'll get a new desktop when Windows 7 comes out.

I've seen it's mostly -like- vista, just with improvements and most of the {expletive hax0rd by Cspace} things they did removed (Or fixed).

I can see why they're making windows 7 an entirely new OS, rather than just patching Vista... All the negative publicity towards Vista... XD

I had Vista on my laptop for about a month before I was so fed up that I wiped my HD entirely and installed XP clean.

From my own experiments, I can personally say Windows Vista on a 64-bit system is great for most things. It depends on each user, and what they want to do with it. The average user? Great for them. Gamers? Depends on the game and such.

DX10? Eh. It isn't that much better then DX9 right now.

Jeff.

EDIT:

The name "Vista", although completely innocent, has been dragged through mud.

So they're trying seperate this as a new OS - which from a PR point I understand, I just don't know if it'll work.

Most of the problems with Vista weren't actually problems with the OS. Microsoft released it so early that most developers hadn't written drivers for it. So when people installed it on their machines, it didn't play very happy.

I downloaded the Windows 7 beta last week and installed it as a virtual machine. I can say it's less of a memory hog than Vista, and the changes to the taskbar are quite welcome.

Other than interface changes, however, it won't actually be all that different from Vista. New name, new look, more drivers readily available. Works for me. I'll probably buy it a couple months after it becomes available.

Well, the security features are crap and annoying, don't work propperly and they stop you from actually being able to work. Pain in the {expletive antidisestablishmentarianized by Cspace} for people like me.

Nope, fine with me bluetongue.gif

I find Vista easy to use, never gives me any problems. I dunno if I have special Vista using powers or you guys seem to have annoyed Microsoft bluetongue.gif
