Re: Windows 7
Installed it today 'cos I was getting bored with ubuntu and had a few free hours. Seems very nice and polished for a beta. As Kshitiz said there's not a big difference between it and Vista on the surface, the new start menu/taskbar being the most obvious. Windows update found drivers for everything automatically, which is pretty rare for a laptop. All in all it looks like it will be an impressive product.

Re: Windows 7
Does seem to have trouble controlling fan speed. Even when idle the cpu fan likes to flip out and go one million rpm for a minute or two and then stop again. Hopefully something that gets ironed out in the RC

Re: Windows 7
No. W7 has been written to effectively use RAM and kill processes when they aren't needed by the user and by the system. Like Vista, W7 will use Graphics Card Memory for visuals before it uses RAM, and an advanced version of SuperFetch has been made. For those who don't know, SuperFetch tries to pre-load commonly used applications. So for those who will use W7 at work, expect Word and Internet Explorer to snap open very quickly
Also, programs closes quickly - so those at work can close off BigCricket when the boss comes past

Re: Windows 7
Vista > Windows 7 (for now)
When I get a new computer and that will be in a couple of years time I will have Windows 7 on it.

This is objectively wrong. Please elaborate, however.

Re: Windows 7
You might find it crap but it doesn't mean that I am wrong.
Nobody is wrong. Especially if they favour Windows 7, Vista or XP.
It might be to you but to me I haven't had any problems with Vista. In fact the Vista that I have got on my computer has got service pack 1 on it. It's great to use.a for effort;367426 said:

Re: Windows 7
No, you said 'Vista is better than Windows 7', which is not correct, not 'I have no problems with Vista'. Opinions are fine, posting misleading information as fact is not.
