I dont think they would just drop all the vista code they wrote and start again.At the very least,win7 is based on vista.

i agree with you...why would they get rid of a code that took them so long to release to the public after only 2 years? win7 is obviously going to be based on vista. unless they have been working on win7 while they were working on vista(which i highly doubt)

Vista is not inherantly bad,sure it has some niggles,but thats no reason to drop millions of dollars worth of programming time as quick as that.

If they were working on win7 at the same time and are prepared to drop the vista code that fast,then they must have a lot of money to waste.

I want them to have a built in registry cleaner and defragmenter, and for others perhaps they could make it obvious somewhere that if you want windows to continue preforming well you need to run those things regularly. Most users don't have any clue about those, and really that's killing a lot of their customers b/c it's simple things that could keep their clientele happy. Why they haven't done that yet is beyond me.

They arent allowed to make a reg cleaner, cause of some eu rules

What? They can't make an app that cleans their own operating system? :confused:

Link please?

Lillebror · Nov 3, 2008

Cause other companies are making those, and if microsoft made there own with there os, the other companies are gonna loose loads of money

Still seems rather impractical to say Windows can't clean their own registry. I suppose it could be part of some split ruling? That's really downright terrible though.

I'm pretty sure that there is a defragmenter built into windows already

A pretty crappy one. And most users know nothing about it. It should be a default icon at least. If they could lump disk cleanup, disk defragment, and registry cleaner into one program for cleaning windows it would be nice, especially for those who did not know about it previously.

The one in XP was great. The one in Vista sucks. My guess is that they used the same one from Vista in W7.

Auslogics FTW!

Lillebror · Nov 6, 2008

The defragger in vista is faster and better than the one in xp, hands down. But buying a real defragmenter is still the best thing to do.

I dont agree with that at all. Im sorry.

kid41212003 · Nov 6, 2008

I don't know which is better, because when I still have XP, my hard drives not this big.
And the last time when I defrag my hdds, It took over 24 hours.

Stearic · Nov 6, 2008

Ha! I dumped the Vista defragger a long time ago. Been using Diskeeper 2008 Pro, and it's awesome. No more 8h Vista defrags for me lol, DK automatically monitors fragmentation and gets rid of it, quietly in the background. :cool:

frankie827 · Nov 6, 2008

this is embarassing, but....i havent defragged in a year :O

haha niiice

back to windows 7

i heard somewhere that win7 has an equal or higher cpu usage than vista does. like from what the task manager says in the performance tab...
personally i dont think that that is true...it seems as if vista runs higher and 7 runs lower with less ram used

SUPERREDDEVIL · Nov 6, 2008

mmm... i see some screenshots of win7 and i see it like vista, maybe we better wait for the vista SP2 that boost vista and bury XP on the grave. the only attractive thing on win7 it`s the directx11....
