I'm using Vista HP right now. I would really like to get 7, though, but I don't want to go through the installation.

QUOTE (redmonke @ May 22 2009, 10:14 PM)  I disagree. These are the rumored prices: * Windows 7 Starter: $199 * Windows 7 Home Premium: $259 * Windows 7 Professional: $299 * Windows 7 Ultimate: $319 Definitely not worth that price compared to Vista. People only like Win7 because other people like it. People only hate Vista because others hate it. Vista is one of the best OS I've used. I completely disagree with you about Windows 7. I would happily pay those prices to get a solid operating system that is significantly faster, more stable, more compatible with older programs and more secure than its predecessor, Vista. And besides, those prices are RUMOURED prices - no guarantee that the prices will be anything close to that. And the reason I like Windows 7 is not because other people like it. I like it because I find it better than any Windows operating system I have ever used. QUOTE (Toulouse @ May 22 2009, 09:29 PM) True that. Windows 7 is much overrated. Yes, the startup is faster. Yes, it has a few more features (that can be gotten as freeware downloads) that Vista doesn't have, but there's really not much more to it. Vista update. That's what it is. Might download it with torrents once it's oficially released. What're you gonna do about it, huh? I wouldn't call it a 'Vista update'. I would call it a very capable new operating system, soon to be released. And no freeware downloads would be able to seriously alter the underlying architecture of Vista, which would be necessary to make Vista like Windows 7 (OK, it would technically be possible...but it would certainly be illegal). QUOTE (LP Forever @ May 22 2009, 04:11 PM) i think i might get a Toshiba with windows 7 just to see what it's all about. i hear it's amazing compared to vista No need to buy a new computer. Just download the Windows 7 RC now for free and dual-boot it (if you don't know how to do this, there's plenty of help in the Windows 7 RC topic). It will stop being fully functional in March 2010, but that's still plenty of time to test it and see if you like it. EDIT: Replied to LP Forever.

You have MS-DOS 3.3?  What is that for actually? Its all out of date for over 12 years.. Perfection. Purity. Also because I've got a metric intercourseton of old DOS games and I'm just too cool for DOSBox. (Besides that, 3.3 came out in 1987 and 4.0 came out in 1988, so it's at least 21 years behind.  )DOS is even capable of running on my phone  That tells a bit what devs want..  (Good ol' games on the go)But still, there was some good games. Like Liero. (Whcih i now have on phone too..) Uh.. what do you mean by "metric intercourston"? Is it that you love the DOS games? Do you have it on the same computer or multiple?  I dont really want to talk about my new Win7 installation.. Its slow as a.. well.. snail. But the visual effects are great, like the startup, and the menu button. It really looks like Vista, just no sign of the Sidebar yet. Wonder if i actually installed the latest at all.. (It says 7001, is it not the RC?)I have such a mess on my Elements HDD..

Vista Ultimate 64-bit, Vista Business 32-bit, and Xubuntu 8.10. I like the OS's that I have though I'd like if the netbook remix supported the original EeePC 900s better.

It uses 10% less resources on my setup with 2gb of RAM. I am thinking about installing Win7 on another laptop that only has 1gb of RAM, but on my laptop I don't feel there is a need, especially when I have Vista customized completely to my needs and I don't want to go through that again with 7. |

You run DOS games through Cmd? I just remember an old classic.. Midtown Madness 2.. Which i still have right now, though very patched out.. And i found out its a similar thing like Halo Custom Edition: You can load in new cars and maps!!  I have improved it by using a Shader Mod... And changing the mtm2.exe to another for faster startup without DOS. (It could take long time for it to start, sometimes never because of no DOS in XP) And Microsoft has never told about it officially or made tools for it..  But, 10 years after release its like Midtown Madness 3 if you patch it right Old games WERE BETTER then new ones..

How do you do DOS games via CMD? I want that...
Anyways, I run Windows Vista Home Basic on my laptop, but my family computer runs Windows XP Media Center Edition. Both are pretty good (though the home desktop is getting old, becoming sluggish). I really want a MacBook Pro... I know OS X > Windows |

I have a 2gb RAM laptop running Vista and a 1gb laptop running Win7. Turns out Win7 is terrible with 1gb of RAM.
