Administrator Tarun Posted May 6, 2011 Administrator Share Posted May 6, 2011 So how does everyone feel about Windows 7? I really enjoy Windows 7. Everything works very well and it's quite responsive. I'm currently using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I love it. I could never be convinced to go back to Windows Vista, XP, or any other for that matter. Besides, there's always VMs for nostalgia. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldmannen Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah, I understand that you cant go back to XP because it is so old, outdated, legacy. I run Windows 7 x64 at work on a high-end workstation machine, but I don't "use" Windows 7 so much, because I'm mostly in Visual Studio 2010 which sometimes becomes unresponsive, but thats probably some bugs in Visual Studio rather than Windows 7 acting up. I don't think Windows Vista and 7 have so good usability. Maybe I need to get more accustomed. I think Windows XP and GNOME have good usability. I prefer Ubuntu, which is what I run at home. I think GNOME have great usability, the current version is 2.32 and the next version will be 3.0 in which there are much changes, if usability is lost in 3.0, then perhaps Mac OS X is the system with best usability?

Administrator Tarun Posted October 21, 2011 Author Administrator Share Posted October 21, 2011 I had zero issues installing Windows 7 both times I've installed it. (once for 32 bit, once for 64 bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0_0 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 The short answer is there are only a few upgrade paths that are reliable, not all Vista or 7 upgrades will work either. XP is not on the upgrade path list. Here's a few that are not upgrade paths to Windows 7: 95, 98, ME, XP, Vista (RTM, Starter), 7 (Beta, IDS, M3, RC). I also believe nearly all the Server releases from NT 4.0 to 2008 R2 are also non upgradable to Windows 7 - someone may want to confirm this. I would locate the most recent Windows 7 Upgrade Paths document, maybe something has changed with Windows 7 SP1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshg678 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I have been using Windows 7x64 Since the First Beta. I have Never Once had it Crash on me. I have had programs crash or become locked up. Microsoft has worked really hard at fixing the problem when a single program crashes it over takes the whole operating system. Might have something to do with a Linux Dude working for Microsoft. I use Windows 7x64 on everything i can. I don't think i have even installed the x86 version, but im sure it would work just as well. My only complaint would be that it uses a lot of memory to run its self, so you need at least 2gb to be stable. 4gb if you think about doing a lot of stuff with it. Windows XP is only good for installing a VM on your system to keep the load down memory wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I run Windows 7 on all three of my work PCs and one of my home PCs. No problems at all really. FWIW my other two PCs at home run Windows 98 and XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
