Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
God yes I love mac. All the really ****ty bloatware filling up my hardrive and I just love how OSx loves to rape my processes mercilessly grinding all my applications to a halt. Oh it's so restricted so I couldn't even screw anything up even if I wanted to...or do any of those constructive things that I could benefit from. OH AND THE COMPATIBILITY...I love it how it can't run any of my favorite applications.
Btw, I know a guy who's been using Windows 7 like a month ago. He's Portuguese though and manages to find these kinds of things...hopefully I can bum it off him and if I do just ask me if you want a copy. Last edited by fido123; 01-9-2009 at 04:25 PM.. |

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
Lol, you guys are failing your DL's or something cause I'm downloading at rates between 300 and 1,300KB/sec...
I don't know if this makes a difference buuuuut, I have a 32 max request for my pipelining feature on FF... Maybe that's why I'm getting such good DL speeds.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
One question, if we switch to Windows 7, can we switch back to Vista/XP if we don't like it?

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
As a matter of principle, I don't like how the minimum system requirements are so much higher compared to previous generation systems like XP.
Sure, there are probably a ****ton of new features that utilize these requirements, but they should be optional. The minimum system requirements should be very low, and only the specific elements that use the extra RAM or processing speed should be unavailable. |

Of course, this is why for now I am sticking with XP but eventually it will become unsupported and obsolete and I will have to upgrade just to get support for the only the basic features that I need. |

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
ANNOYING FONT ANNOUNCEMENT!
Get Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and its SP1. Use that to install Windows 7 on without any possible interference to your current system. Thank Sprite for that idea.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
Yes Phynx, but that's assuming you have enough RAM to run two operating systems at the same time :P

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
My opinion
Windows 7 is lame - it just looks like Vista with a ****ty new purple place mr potato head game. Also this might be helpful - a simple no-brainer way to try windows 7 is - get the iso, download/install virtualbox, configure new virtual machine, mount the iso on new virtual machine. Windows 7 runs great in virtualbox. Also also: what's this about not being able to get the iso. If you want an older (legal) beta build to play around, message me and I'll send it over a messenger.

He's using: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.4GHz 4GB OCZ Platinum Edition 2 RAM NVidia GeForce 8800 GTS That's the bulk of his equipment and he says he has no lag on anything running both OS's so if you have a tough comp like that or better, you should run both rather fine.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
Well I only have 2 gigs. It ate my computers resources and would just freeze me. Yes, of course, 4 gigs would do the trick.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
Haha I have the same proc and 2GB RAM with geforce 7950GT and it lags a little for me, not real bad but it's noticeable. Either way, if I can get a key, I'm gonna reformat my comp to this cause I f*cking love it to hell.

Re: Windows 7 Beta release!
I have over 70 gigs of free space after 5+ years on this very computer. And my dad torrents a lot of music.
A LOT. [/lateresponse] It's probably too late to download the OS for free, so I'll just take your word, Sprite, that it's good. I'll definately check it out when a stable version is released or starts coming preinstalled on computers. Last edited by Shadowcliff; 01-9-2009 at 10:38 PM.. |
