Shoma Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 HAvent seen much diffs...ALl i do is type, play games and surf da web...So not sure between doinng those things i was suppose to find something that stand out..
Inky Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 I haven't run into any bugs at all.but then I only surf, listen to music, watch movies, light word processing, torrent, and burn DVDs. but it seems snappier then vista.
Shoma Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 THe only question is how big will the gap be between this beta and the full version that may costs 4 of my paychecks?
Wizard Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 I like how Gryph had to remind all of you that it's a beta. As for me, friend brought over a spare box and we installed it. Runs like a dream and it's awesome. Getting a lot of "Best Windows" since 2k from tech friends.
gavin19 Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 I like how Gryph had to remind all of you that it's a beta. The topic is Windows 7 Beta? I've been running it for a couple of days and I can't say it seems any faster than Vista or makes life any easier. It uses almost identical amounts of RAM (700+ MB) that Vista did, nor would I say it booted any quicker. I am having difficulty in installing some apps, and others have text/gfx glitches, but on the whole it is entirely useable (for a Beta)
gymnist1026 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 So...uhh...they are going to do it again and destroy an otherwise acceptable operating system... http://www.tomshardware.com/news/windows-7...imate,6910.html Prepare your spreadsheets now to determine which of the 100 versions you get to blow your money on...
ken_cinder Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Won't blow my money on any, if I do bother to switch over I'll be 'ing it, and for more reasons than 1 but the simple fact that an OS isn't worth $500......
gavin19 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) I did stick with the beta for a few days but a lot of installers wouldn't work due to it identifying itself as MCE 6.1 or something. I decided to give Vista64 a try and it is blistering. Although it uses 3 times the ram of XP and a shade more CPU, it is quick. I haven't had any driver problems either. I'd have to say it's the best Windows I have used. Hopefully Windows 7 rounds out a bit more over the coming months and I'll switch to the 64-bit version of that. Edited January 28, 2009 by gavin19
Shoma Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 If this beta is ultimate then f*** that!I barely saw any difference, i hate to d/l OS and take money from my fav comp brand, so i wont even dl or buy it....what a waste!WTF do we need so many diff version for!??!?! MAn Windows is getting cheap!1.Starter2.Home Basic3.Home Premium4.Business 5.Ultimate. <---BetaPFTTT! Kick rocks PC!
gavin19 Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 For the general public it's between Home and Ultimate really. I don't see the problem with giving people the choice. If you don't want/need all the extras that Ultimate offers then you aren't forced into it. Go for either of the two Home versions. Starter/Business don't come into the picture.
