Win7 Rocks

[BigSlam123b]

I am in love with Windows 7. It is everything Vista was supposed to be. It is fast, light on resource usage and graphically beautiful. I even installed it (Full Retail Version) on my Acer Aspire One net book, and it actually runs faster and more efficient than XP did. Win7 is a definite winner and a must for those of you that were holding out from upgrading to Vista.

I was wondering about that. I was thinking of getting an Acer netbook and loading it with Win7, but wasn't positive it had all the requirements for a full blown Win7 install, particularly the drivers.

The only thing it didn't have drivers for were the card readers. But after Windows was fully loaded it went out to the net and found them. Windows 7 actually looks on manufacterers' websites for drivers, not just its own update site. I would highly reccomend it.

Been running Windows 7 RC for a while now and it indeed ROCKS next to Vista or XP!!! I LOVE it and have already ordered my upgrade!

I've been running the pre-release too, but the only hardware I have to run it on doesn't have enough video or system memory, or current processor to test all the bells and whistles.

they will release a sp 1 for it within 6 months...

w7 is by far the best upgrade since xp....


the way i see it you had 2000 then ME which XP replaced they tried to come back with VISTA and now W7 is taking it...

XP is a very solid O/S
but i do like 7 !!

I installed it on and old Dell GX260 ... seems to run ok

the PC is across my office and I have the desktop Pics set to rotate .... so every hour I get a different view

and a GX620 (no driver for the SoundMAX chipset and will not install under compatibility mode either )

I installed Win7 on a GX260 and I think I got the SoundMAX stuff working. When I get over to that area I will check it out.

So far the ONLY thing I cannot get to work is the HJ Scanning Software that came with my OfficeJet 7310 I am waiting on HP to get off their dead ass to come out with something.

We have been running Win7 for almost a year with NO issues - it is the bomb. The only XP box I have is virtualized and it is only for support purposes.

HP makes a decent piece of hardware, but the software for the all-in-1 products sucks. It's worse than MS bloatware. I have yet to install HP AI1 software on a PC and not have something break.
