Windows 7

Post by **Infinite** » October 22nd, 2009, 7:38 pm

I'm running an expired trial version atm (I don't understand why it says its expired when I can still use it), and I love it. If I can muster up enough money, I'll buy the full thing

I've been using it since June or something

(build 7100 32bit) If you overlook all the bugs of this build it's (in my opinion) the best OS from Microsoft so far. I think it FAST. And by fast I mean really fast, and I really like the new taskbar.

I'm probably getting the Pro or Ultimate version.

I will get it for sure. It's a very fast O/S, maybe even faster than XP and it has nice design. Also I only had one BSOD with Win7 RC, Windows XP had 20 BSODs in that time.

Once I retrieve my laptop back from my cousin I will be loading it up on their to try it out.
I have 400Gb of stuff installed on this and do not wish to format. Does W7 have a good upgrade procedure?

don't you guys use partitions? system one and all data on another? i don't store any data on my system partition

I used to use partitions but they're honestly just a pain in the ass and since I only reformat once every few years it really isn't a big deal.

I will probably be getting it sometime next year.

Partitions are hassle tbh. I have a second drive to install soon, so probably would reinstall, but just really cba. Its an entire days worth of copy, paste and reconfiguring.

I am pretty fast with installing as I don't need much and cod2+tools just adding my reg entries and voila it works not reinstall. Most things work without install so if I have to it goes really fast.

Had never problems with partitions

As I need more for arch linux etc

Well at least Microsoft has dedicated server support for Windows 7

Got it in the post on monday, came early to my surprise, and installed it on tuesday. At first when installing i thought something was wrong because for about 5 minutes it sat there doing nothing at all before the screen changed and the cd/hdd started doing something, it did this twice but despite that the whole install only took about 25 mins.
So far i've not really had any problems with it, i find it as quick if not quicker than a fresh install of XP. Some of the new features are pretty cool, i'm still getting used to it though.
