[Dv8]

has anybody taken the plunge ? anygood ?

It has no email as such built in , you have to get
a third party mail account instead , and in built
photo editing software , not that , that bothers me.

i have a copy of 7 ultimate but havent put it on as yet
and not sure weather i should bother , switching from
vista ultimate to 7 ultimate ...
So yer has anybody played with it ?

cheers

na not yet,a mate of mine has it and he loves it
and all the reviews that i have read like it
most say it is what vista should of been
i am still on xp pro atm
might upgrade soon

Have used it. iT rocks my pants. Am waiting for my ultimate msdn copy in the mail.
Mind you, Vista trumps XP and I've been using Vista for over a year now.

It's fantastic. Bought it the day it came out and I'll not look back. I think I had more issues with XP then I ever did with Vista but this is awesome as.

Tried it on a PC at work that had it installed.

Open MSCommunicator
>spawns an Office config window
>which then blocks it's own ActiveX control
>which then opens a website

Not that much has changed *sigh*

I have been running windows 7 for 3/4 months ultimate 64 bit
Had a few driver issues, skype still works but causes system crashes
Abode... was another, drivers have matured and doesn't seem to be a issue anymore.
damon tools would also crash..
Beats duel boot system which i was running b4 with vista and xp
Doesn't thrash up the WD raptors like vista did, plays all the games i want ( reason for xp )
There are some nice features, overall. i prefer 7 over vista which continuously reminds you that you have turned of certain features. easyier to edit boot.in
that's only my impression.

Just installed it a few weeks back ! got my copy off ebay . Got it and it works sweet although it aint what i thought it was going to be ie pyhsically in a box etc but shit hey it works!
It is Windows 7 ultimate 64bit !

Havent used it that much but it seems pretty damn good! I have found it to be very much like XP if you know how to find stuff but it has a lot morew stuff under the hood than xp. Teh network thingy is cool especially the see full map of Lan network.

Seems a bit more robust than xp too, i think.

My 2 bobs worth!

cheers

I usually upgrade as I buy a new computer... but Windows 7 is tempting me to buy it on it's own.

[GURU]

Well i would recommend it totally ! it really is much the same as vista with all the stuff fixed up, how vista should have been! ie Vista Version 2

but the only things u have to consider are, do i get 32bit or 64 bit and which version of win7 , home /pro/ultimate

cheers

[Leone]

Yeah it's got some things that shit me (still using XP at home...cbf'd reinstalling everything )

But like Guru says it's what Vista should've been.

[figjamm]
