Windows 7

[moidoid]

I decided to get the Upgrade to Home Premium on Thursday for no good reason whatsoever other than I did.

I left W7 installing while I went to work Friday and when I got back it was......OK!

I'm baffled. It seems to have upgraded from Vista without a hitch and fixed the .Net issue that was preventing Batman from working.

It's all gone too well. I don't like it. I don't like it at all... So far no problems and everything works. This is most unlike MS.

Ah-ha! I knew it! I fuckin' knew it!!

I'm gonna' have to upgrade you from Senor Serious 2.0 to Senor Serious, The Egghead, or simple Senor Egghead

Very impressive, chico! Can I tell the birds you're a personal friend of mine? I think it might get me laid!

Try juggling you balls, BJ. The chicks really dig it!

I love my mac

Mac OS X is so frustrating. If you are a non-techy then fine, it is pretty to look at and simple to use.

T.

OK. Hands up... I'm a non-techy! I've never spent much time at the command line; Apple script via Automator is as far as it goes for me!

I am an evangelical convert. As all the most vocal evangelical converts, my conversion is recent (about a year) and I suppose I'm easily pleased. Windows just didn't do it for me any more.

Who else uses a mac here?

Well. I'm currently using the win rc 7. It's not bad at all. Its so much more stable than vista. But, with me being me, I miss having something drastic go wrong so that I get my mitts grubby.

I've considered getting my self a macbook pro. But only on the condition that I would running a windows os, either in a dual boot config or running it as a virtual machine. But this is all just an idea for the mo. It's a nice idea but I'm only really attracted to the current rage of macbook pro's because of their build quality. It's definitely far better than the plastic sony crap sitting on my lap atm.

Thank you for my upgrade, I reckon Senior Serious is quite good enough though!

I doubt it'll get you laid, it does nothing for me!

I was considering a move to Win 7 from Vista as I read its alot less heavy on the memory, I maybe stupidly thought if I got that my pc would run a bit more smoothly>?

[Deano]

You'd be better off upgrading your memory.

[monkey66]

I have yet to upgrade from XP and yet to see any reason to.

[Pantomimehorse]

not an option, got 4gig and have been told thats all Vista will take?

[Deano]

32-bit Vista yeh, won't use anymore.

I can't really see Windows 7 doing much for you. It's just the same underlying OS after all.

[Pantomimehorse]

thanks for the info, wont waste my cash on that then!

Well windows 7 is running lighter, isn't it?

And battery life is far better.

Well at least that is what I'm experiencing with the RC. Although 7 is what vista should have been in the first place.

[Deano]

It's better yes, but is it ?75-?150 better if you're already running Vista? Not imo.

Oh hell no! I know for sure I will not be upgrading from vista.

Its just a silly waste of money, tweaks will do till I have new hardware in my possession.

I'm still pretty impressed though. It is even working very cleanly on hardware that previously had xp mce on it. And that piece of machinery is edging on 6 years now. <---- This had trouble working with vista, so it just goes to show; MS have pulled their fingers out this time.
