Windows 7 beta
- Thread starter MKIIINA
- Start date
So far I am enjoying it. I'm just using it for fun though. I was having an issue with programs installing and windows found the problem on the net and showed me how to resolve the issue. It was great.
COD4 punkbuster doesn't work though, that's annoying. That's what I get for using a beta os though

Haven't used it personally but a couple of my geeky friends say that it's pretty good. The same people that nothing but bitched about Vista.
I've tried windows 7 myself but other than the glam and fluff it really serves me no useful purpose over XP. Vista sure put a hurt on MS. Between the economy and the problems with Vista they took a beating in their earnings. They tried their best to put there monopoly muscle and put a stop to any new licenses on XP but they keep pushing the date back due to the overwhelming rejection of Vista at the corporate level. Linux is putting a hurt on them as well.
Ubuntu has come along way and now you can install updates and software with just a click of the mouse. The talking heads on the business channels never mention Linux but its got to be taken away a large share of MS's business. You can have a fully functional computer with office apps and all the software you would need for $0.00 legally using open source software.

Been using it on my desktop for about 2 weeks. Its great, runs wonderful (except one minor bug that keeps shutting aero off)
Its BETA so I dont expect perfection. STPD Drivers cant install on it yet (used to having a fake CD/DVD Drive on the comp to mount images)
I did a full fresh install. I had it on my laptop (b4 it broke on me) and it ran great on there too. My Laptop had more power than my desktop.
As far as Ubuntu, its wonderful I agree, I just get annoyed at 2 things. My video drivers, and how somewhere along the line my lack of experience causes a huge problem with an oterhwise everyday task for me.

7 beta is just a faster version of vista with an object dock. That is all that I see out of it. Im going to stick with xp on the laptop, vista at home and 2 virtual machines (DSL and Ubuntu)
All I can say is wow. I bought a Vista laptop about 6 months ago (HP dv9000) that I was using as my main computer. Then I went from XP to 7 on my desktop.
My 3 1/2 year old desktop is now running faster and smoother than my laptop. Pretty much the same specs, too. (Intel Core 2 Duo processors [2Ghz laptop, 1.86Ghz desktop], 2 GB DDR2 SDRAM, nVidia 7600 series chipsets) I just can't believe it.
