Will you jump to get Windows 7

Stephen · Jan 11, 2009

I actually probably will buy it like almost as soon as it comes out (first time I'd say that about windows)

I might do. I've not been able to burn a successful copy yet to try it out as my burner keeps creating coasters.

I'm gonna troubleshoot it soon and get this fixed.

You need to burn at 2x otherwise it borks the disc

Well, assuming Windows 7 is anything like the beta I'm running on my 3rd rig then DEFINATELY, but I'm waiting for Microsoft to make some decision that screws it all up...I really hope they don't.

I may wait 'til after the service patch one; that will eventually appear. Vista has done me no wrong, even though I abuse it all the time.

All my apps, games, and etc.,run just fine.

But, I'll play with the releases of 7...'til then.

MRCL · Jan 11, 2009

After all the things I heard and read about 7, I might switch. Then I'll just use my Vista on the media rig. Then XP is definately passé pour moi

I'm even one of the few who thinks Vista > XP

DRDNA · Jan 11, 2009

Undecided till I test the two versions I just downloaded last night..

spearman914 · Jan 11, 2009

Yes obviously. Got the torrent!! but can't seem to get it right.

stefanels · Jan 11, 2009

How much space does require Windows 7? If i install it on my internet rig it will run fine (the specs is in the System Specs), and the 20Gb partition on C will be ok?

Polarman · Jan 11, 2009

I don't know really. :confused:

With SP2 not too far in the distance and IE8 right next too it, i'll have to see then.

qubit · Jan 11, 2009

7 running away with it

As of now:

Yes: 38
No: 10
Maybe: 10

I think we're gonna have a hit on our hands here.

I might do some quick game framerate benchies on 7 soon. If anyone knows of any such benchies already done, then please post a link here.

will i have less problems with my computer... then yes...lol

Loving build 7000, 98% chance of win for Microsoft.

There is the other 2%

oli_ramsay · Jan 12, 2009

I can't wait for the final release to come out. If it's anything like the beta (which I love

) Then I'll definitely be buying it.

BrooksyX · Jan 12, 2009

Ill probably wait till I get a new rig to jump to windows 7. I don't wanna drop a bunch of more cash on a new OS. Vista 64 is treating me just fine right now. I guess it depends on how good Vista SP2 is and if I can get a deal on Windows 7. Might be able to get cheap or even free through my college.

Kei · Jan 12, 2009

After about 1 full day in use I can honestly say that once this is retail I'll be waiting with money in hand. I'm genuinely shocked at how good this is even in beta stage. The thought that it will be even better once it hits retail just blows my mind.

Beautifully smooth and lightning quick to boot, I used to say I love Vista...but this is in another league and my love is now for W7.

Kursah · Jan 12, 2009

It would be cool if 7 Beta turns out to be Vista SP2...though I doubt they would do that due to the negativity that is still present towards Vista...but if Vista had that new taskbar and the tuning 7 beta currently has in a service pack, that would still be a very good move for MS...probably not as lucrative as a new shiny OS box and a new price-tag..but we'll have to wait and see. But I do see x64 Windows 7 in my future for sure.

:toast:

Stearic · Jan 12, 2009

I am going to wait and watch. I jumped on the Vista bandwagon within 3 months of its release and got burned because the hardware (laptop) was not up to the mark. I had to downgrade to XP.
I bought another laptop around Jan 2008 with Vista on it, and everything worked nicely because the hardware had progressed in the meantime.

As with any OS, I am not rushing to be an early adopter. That said, if all the hype about 7 actually translates into real world performance, I'll get it probably a bit earlier than usual since I have another laptop purchase coming up in 4-5 months time.

I agree, Vista > XP.

To answer the question at hand, yes I'm jumping on Windows 7.

11.8GB on one of my HDDs. Think you might want some at least 40GB

I found out what it was. I originally thought it might be a drive or motherboard problem, but the drive recognized discs ok when the OS wasn't running. Turned out that Nero 7's InCD was causing my burner to malfunction. Uninstalling Nero and reinstalling fixed it. I can burn ok at the maximum speed of the drive now in Vista.

It is indeed very nice. I see that 7 is extending its lead in my poll. If the impressions here are anything to go by, then I think that Microsoft are gonna have a hit when it's released. As someone observed once: Microsoft seem to get it right only every other OS and it does seem to be that way if you think about it. So the OS after 7 is gonna be a lemon... lol

crazy pyro · Jan 12, 2009

Well, ME was crap, win2000 was ok, XP was awesome, vista was a lemon at launch but is significantly better now, and win 7 well that's sounding awesome I just need to install it on my desktop.

You won't regret it, I promise you. <grin> It's fast and stable and just runs great.

D007 · Jan 12, 2009

Jumped to get vista and that costed me downtime in actual work.
I won't be jumping to get any Os's in the near future..lol..
I have my eye on it though..
we'll see how it runs in OEM.
:toast:

I'm also worried about the overscan issue I'm already dealing with because of this damn graphics card.
The windows 7 drivers might just screw me and make me have to uninstall it and go back to xp.

Silverel · Jan 12, 2009

Last time I paid for an OS was WinME. That was a horrid mistake...

I had 2k Pro free from work.
WinXP Pro free from school.
WinVista Ultimate free from WindowsFeedbackProgram

I'm not really used to buying my OS, so hopefully I can find a way to get my hands on Win7.

By the looks of it so far, I could deal with Vista Ultimate for quite a long time without worry. However, if I manage to snag 7, I'll dig my hooks into.

Being cautious with a new OS is sensible. Just try 7 out on it's own hard disc for a while and see how it goes for you; my initial impressions are very favourable indeed. The standard Vista video drivers work on it, so that won't be a problem.

I'm interested in what this overscan issue is and what graphics card your using there.

I've got the ISO on my lappy, just got distracted by someone asking me to play tf2 with them last night when I was about to go downstairs and grab a DVD.
When I get my netbook It's probably going to get put on there too (well if I have an 80 GB or larger drive.)
