Windows 7 RC download http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win.../download.aspx Tempted to try this out, but I do not want to lose all my current data. Key expires in June 2010. So roughly a year from now. |
sweet...I wonder if the drivers are better than before |
when is windows 7 going to be released? i want to try it but i'm not sure... |
also read that in march it will start to turn off every 2 hours lol |
I have been running Windows 7 in my Music on Hold system. Very nice. |

i was about to download it for my Eee1000 until i heard about the 2 hour shut down gimmick. |
That's because 7 should be out before March and they obviously don't want people to be using a RC forever. Why would you want to use an unfinished OS (that'll be stuck on build 7100) for almost a year anyways? |
Yep. The key expires in June, but March of 2010 is when the constant nagging begins advising you to uninstall or have a valid purchased key. |

Its worth putting on an old laptop you may have laying around. |
Vista Second Edition :p Seriously.. it's been tweaked a bit and uses fewer resources but it's hardly a revolution. Been using Vista on 3 computers for 2 years now with fewer problems than I had with XP. Just don't listen to all the Vista haters who are basing their experience on computers with 512 MB RAM and a pile of manufacturer-installed crapware. |
I actually love Vista. Definitely less buggy and does not hang as much as XP. I am currently using Win7 (dual boot), so I won't lose any current data I had/have with Vista. First impression- I have no idea how to share/create a network amongst the 3 computers in the house. lol. I don't really like the new taskbar/quick launch. I can never tell whether it's a tab or an actual quick launch icon. I guess Win7 takes time getting used to. But FireFox looks more 'aero' like compared to when it's on Vista. edit: i think win7 totally revamped the whole system tray / taskbar. :confused: |

Most people I talk to don't like Vista because it "looks different" and they would have to learn something new. Vista Second Edition will face the same struggle. |
any tutorial that shows how to set up winxp/win7 dual boot??? just installed win7 on my Centrino laptop...it won't detect my old hp scanner and the network printer...*pissed* |
asian XL: I followed this tutorial. Dual boot worked flawlessly. Unfortunately, I didn't want to spend too much time re-learning how to use another OS, so I deleted the partition. Deleting Windows 7 also caused no problems in booting up Vista, my current OS. XP is also mentioned in the tutorial on how to uninstall. http://www.techspot.com/guides/143-dual-boot-windows7/ My C:\ had 200GB free space so I partitioned (shrink Volume), which resulted in no data loss at all. Hope it all goes well. |
I heard it uses less resources than XP. I might plan on making a dual boot with it, hopefully it isn't too shity |
i just installed the windows 7 RC onto my laptop boots up way faster |
how large is the clean install? I want to cram it in a 8GB SSD..is it do able? |
Windows 7 requires 16-20GB of space. |
