Anyone tried Windows 7 yet?
- Thread starter Thanatopsis
- Start date
The best thing about 98 and 98se was the feeling of satisfaction when pressing enter to c:>format c: /q IMHO!
Constant BSODs, couldnt leave it running fo rmore than 48 hours without major errors, no thanks. XP pro is still being run on my home machine, windows 7 on the laptop, its good enough that I may actually purchase the software (shock horror!) so I can run it beyond the RC end date.

LOL, I really miss that command.
Well i can say.. I "Was" going to buy Mojave (Windows 7).. But now that I read that article, I'm not so sure. Guess I will try it out on a virtual drive first.. That way certain processes can be avoided & Can be tested.
windows 7 all new whistles and bells fantastic until you've had it a month or so then bill gates decides to tell you that they have now found a serious security flaw in it, as tends to happen with ever new window OS, then everyone starts moaning about it because it actually turns out to be sugar coated dog shit. microsoft are scam artist and make vast amounts of cash from it, why can't i buy a pc of the shelve with an OS that isn't microsoft made (scam) most populare ain't always best.
i have to say i kind of agree about 98SE it did what it did and didn't clog up your hard drive with crap that you didn't need or use, i only ever found slight glitches with it when trying to run loads at the same time but that wasn't a major prob as i tended to not run loads at the same time!!

Again I will say it... BRING BACK DOS. Not the half baked DOS environment they have now.
I miss DOOM, BLOOD, DUKE NUKE'em & several other DOS based games. Had to load my old computer with DOS 6.22 again so I can kill me some mutants, Cult Members, & Aliens

Grab DOSBox. It's a DOS 6.22 emulator for Windows. It runs any old DOS game perfectly(or any DOS program for that matter). As far as the software you're running knows, it's on a machine just running DOS and nothing else. Works perfectly, it's small, and it's free.
Windows 2000 was my fav on PC. Now I'm a Mac and don't mess with Windows, except at work. But I may try to put Windows 7 on my Mac Pro.
Im running windows 7 release candidate.
Its only really because my old (8 years +) computer went bang. I bought a budget comp which is perfectly fast for what I want from it and it came with no operating system.
My dad used vista media centre for his HTPC and was looking at 7 as apparently it was more stable. He suggested I use 7 and buy it when it came out for pre-order a few weeks later. I managed to snap a copy of the basic (home?) edition on the day it came out from Amazon for about £45. I should get it some time this month.
I quite like it - its easy to use and I haven't had a single problem with it. I like the cpu/ ram usage icon on the desktop and the weather and temperature gadget. Similar to vista my girlfriend tells me?
There are some other things that I like when sorting photos and files out and switching between pages.
I will have to see what changes they have made to the real copy.

Well I've got myself a new laptop and it came with a upgrade option for Windows 7 Home Premium. I can't say I notice much differnece with my desktop running Vista.
The printer and networking was very simple to set up, that's the only plus I've noticed.
So I've got three different systems from MS on my PC's now. The server has XP Professional, the desktop has Vista Ultimate and the laptop has Win 7 Home Premium.
I've found them all to be pretty good, maybe MS finally knows how to do it's thing.
