Windows 7

[ZANYMASTER]

How many are planning to do the upgrade from Vista or are planning to?I know doing a clean install is probably the best way but I plan to keep my files and it's a pain to re-install stuff and getting serials and such.Thoughts?

i had windows 7 beta last year, it was nice. lacking drivers support but nice.
i'm using the win 7 ultimate now for a few weeks, with much more driver support. u may wanna install it as a 2nd os dual boot to be safe.

all i know is i hate vista...would even welcome a 1st yr prod to b rid of vista

".....install it as a 2nd os dual boot to be safe." .....huh??

I gave up on windows all together. Linux is the way to go.

 

[ZANYMASTER]

I'll pass on the Linux and Reefman has a point where you can partition the HD for the sceond OS.Makes sense but still debating it.

clean install.

I've been using Windows 7 fina RC. for about 4 months no problems on running any programs yet. I currenlty have a dual boot to Vista.

Also for there hackers/techies anyone try Vista eternity?

I currently have Windows 7 ultimate on one of my PC its ok I miss dreamscene though. No problems so far other than using MKV files my that could be manual error.

Pmui, I had a copy of Vista eternity hadn't get a chance to try it been looking for another myself. isn't not the same thing as vista Black or even titanium?

no upgrade from xp?

computer friends have been raving about 7. biggest drawback is it is a memory hog. i have nt heard you cant upgrade from xp, assume someone will figure out how to. i downgraded everything from vista back to xp pro and dont want to redo everything

I have had Win 7RC now for several months, so far, no bugs that I have been able to find. It runs great with all my hardware. Of all the Windows Operating Systems, this one is the smoothest thus far, but not as secure as Win2000 Pro

You can upgrade from XP as long as you can upgrade to Vista first.In the near future,there will be no support for XP so consider on upgrading.I have the 64 bit version of Vista and it's fine.

Eternity is based on Vista ultimate 64bit, the black version is 32 bit.

Well word in the it industry, is that windows 7 is the best of windows xp and vista, put together, i have been using windows 7 for like 4 months and its great, but you definately need to upgrade some components.

you can install dreamscene on windows 7 with a patch.

btw: any1 using hackintosh. have they came out with a driver for wireless iwi2200 with wpa support yet?

I installed Windows 7 ultimate last night, did a clean install...notice a smooth OS compare to the Vista.

 

[cowfish]

Is there any way to get Dreamscene for Vista Home Premium?

 

[reefman]

try doing a google search on "Dreamscene patch"

 

[cowfish]

I am not at all knowledgeable on all this tech stuff, and especially all the tech talk.LOL
But I did upgrade all our laptops & desktop to Windows 7 a few days ago, and I tell you so far I love it.:splitspin
Prior to the hateful vista we had Windows Millenium, and the only reason I ended up with vista was that I got a new laptop, and could not get it without it.

I HATED VISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing so far that I lost, and mis is the "Fix" option to my pics. Guess I'm purchasing a PhotoShop soft ware.:tongue1:
