Man, I just got Windows 7 only a few months ago.. probably wont be upgrading the next 3 years at least lol.
Tanveer said:I would hope so. I want to see great improvement.
Quite happy with windows 7 actually. Never bothered with Vista. I dont regret uprgrading from XP.
7 is an update to Vista (a main point was to get people to stop bitching about Vista and just get the fuck off XP).shinkukage09 said:There's a leaked release of it. Mean it works. Give it a year, maybe two. That's still too fast. OSs are NOT game systems...No, that's not how shit works. It's in a functional state because it's building off an existing OS, so the completeness of the OS is separate from completing the transition from 7-8.
I still would rather use a Windows XP then a Windows 7. Windows 7 should have just been a service pack for Windows Vista seeing Vista was one of the most Bullshit Os's Microsoft has yet to make.Tanveer said:Why dont they improve on windows 7 instead of working on 8 :/.
People still use XP, now we are gonna have a even bigger gap.
More driver issues, etc etc. People complaining about "this" not working with XP, "that" not working with Vista etc etcIf you have driver issues then it's most likely the fault of the company you got your hardware from. Call them and bitch until they start caring about you enough to supply you with proper drivers, because it's THEIR job to write them.
A common misconception. At the time of Vista's release computer companies were still fucking shit up on preinstalls and trying to skimp out on the cheapest hardware they could, so the systems they sold you ran like shit because they were built like shit. When you do a proper install of Vista on proper hardware, it's between XP and 7 in speed (as it should be).GeekyGuy said:Too hard to keep up with Microsoft.Opposed to... ?
OSX and Linux have faster schedules.
Because Vista is a failiure of an OS compared even to XP as far as speed of use is concerned and getting 7 will turn your PC into a blazing Rapidash compared to Vista? The only reason I can think of, I guess.GeekyGuy said:I'm still happily using XP.You're gonna' have to get over it and update eventually, more for security reasons than anything. Xp will reach ten years old this October.

Tanveer said:My University still has XP lol.
Most schools I know of still have XP around here.
I was running XP until a small bit ago, because I was on older hardware.Bladexdsl said:any1 still using xp is just brain dead

I'll just stick to my broken Vista laptop
XP mode is only available for Win 7 Pro & Ultimate though, not Home Basic/Premiumtj_cool said:For people who still like XP, there is a free XP virtual machine for Windows 7 called XP Mode (you need to download it from the microsoft website).
The fun thing is that it can open single applications (instead of having all the other stuff like a virtual desktop etc), so you can use your XP programs on your windows 7 desktop side by side with the normal windows.
Oh wow. That's like Compatibility Mode EXTREME.tj_cool said:For people who still like XP, there is a free XP virtual machine for Windows 7 called XP Mode (you need to download it from the microsoft website).
