Wondering if some of the basement dwellers are thinking of installing Windows 7 after its official release next week.
What version would you choose?
Home Premium,
Professional,
Ultimate

I haven't decided because I'm happy with Vista Ultimate 64.

I've noticed there is a price disparity between Win7 Home Premium and Win7 Professional. The price difference between Win7 Professional and Win7 Ultimate seems negligible. Which has me question why they have so many different versions available.

Also I wonder why Office 2010 isn't released at the same time as Windows 7.
And I wonder if Vista users will be able to install Windows Media Player 12.

I'm not too interested. I'll have a look but for what I'm using now I see no need.

I doubt if you could install WMP12 in Vista - WMP11 is embedded (asininely enough) into Vista.

No, i did try out the RC but managed to screw it up and haven't yet reinstalled it.

I might pick it up but I might also wait till I rebuild although that might not be for a while. Visata is a good enough OS.

Media player is usually always non OS specific.

Is office 2010 coming soon? I was away to pick 2007 as I can get a great deal.

WMP is tightly embedded in Vista. I swapped xbox's two weeks ago and for some reason WMP did work to well with sharing.

Wanted to reinstall - no go. If you want WMP11 to be reinstalled in Vista you reinstall Vista.

Did some crude searching with Google...there is speculation WMP12 will be released as an upgrade to Vista WMP 11 after Win7 is released. But I didn't see a timeline for upgrade/update for WMP 11 to WMP 12.

Nope. Nothing, the only thing I have is a couple of ISO images from former days. I've just not had the free time to play this last year. The job has been keeping me busy, add on the chimpet and I'm not really sure where the fock this last year has gone.

It's starting to get even greyer and damper than ever in the glorious Mcr so next month might be a 24" TV/Monitor, mid range GPU and maybe a little Linux fun, all depends on a few decisions I need to make about where I'm going next..

Did anybody actually bet on over a year for me in this job???

As they said if ain't broke don't fix it. and usually from my experience the 1st release has lots of problems. wait for 1 month and wait for some feedbacks before D-L'ing windows 7.

anyway if you'll ask me I'll go for the windows 7 ultimate. the vista ultimated edition worked for me pretty well and I guess that same reasoning goes for windows 7 also :D

Just finishing up Win 7 Ultimate x64 rtm oem install.
Nothing to comment on yet for performance. It has more eye candy than Vista.
Had to download and install latest version of Trend AntiVirus. Thankfully it was a no charge upgrade from v2009 to v2010.
Diskeeper 2008 is incompatable.

Hooters have the same visual quality on Win7. hmmm...can't wait for 3D hooter imaging.

I have been running the W7 Ultimate 64bit for almost a year and i like it.
It is/was the beta now the RC version.
Just ordered the Home premie 64bit OEM version for my HTPC.

Should be here in a day or so, hope it is as good as the W7 ultimate RC.
