Windows 7
« on: August 14, 2009, 12:32:03 AM »
Just in case anyone was wondering, Windows 7 is awesome...

I'm digging it even more than Ubuntu, well kind of, but it is what I am sticking with at least until this eval. copy period ends...

We've been messing with it at work and it seems to be pretty nice.  As with a lot of companies/people, we skipped Vista completely.

I bought a gateway with Vista. Vista sux. Couldn't use half my old programs. With windows 7 can I go back and use programs that would work with XP?

No.  Windows 7 is Vista with all the crap removed.  Its still based on Vista architecture. 

It does run much much better than Vista though.  But I havent used Vista with the latest service packs.  Hopefully you guys all got in on the $39 deal from microcenter for windows 7 when it is released....

I hated Vista so I waited until I got a great deal to buy a new computer. I was lucky and was given a coupon to update to the new Window 7 for free when it comes out in Oct.

Martin, I can't remember what I did but I was able to get all of my old programs to work.

Life is too short for drama or petty things, so laugh hard, love truly and forgive quickly. Live While You Are Alive. Forgive now those who made you cry. You might not get a second time.
