Will you make the switch to 7

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Will you make the switch to windows 7!

 

[Twoboxer]

No, there's simply no compelling reason for me to upgrade from either Vista or XP on my 7 desk- and lap-tops.

But I like it, and will enthusiastically use it whenever a fresh install is in order.

 

[SirCrono]

I did yesterday, I'm never looking back.

 

[Shadow703793]

What upgrade?!?!? Already running RTM.

 

[Zoron]

I didn't think there was a compelling reason to upgrade either... until I saw the preorder discounts. So I've got Home coming for the laptop and Pro for the desktop. Fifty percent off on Windows was just too good to pass up.

 

[JonathanDeane]

Already running it, love it.

Fully recommended to anyone not running Linux or OSX...

Google Enhancemyse7en for a free program to tweak Windows 7

Although to be honest if you know your way around the services snap in or the registry you probably know half the tweaks anyway (still faster to do it with this tool thing)

I got Professional for $16, I have little reason not to switch.

Now THATS a good price.... How many copies did you say you could buy ?.... lol

 

[randomizer]

Only one. Got it through MSDNAA. I used to wait for my university to get MSDNAA keys but they're too slow and always end up giving me the EU-adjusted software. So I subscribed to IEEE during the 50% off period (for $16) and within a week or so I had direct access to MSDNAA myself.

 

[Bullheaded67]

I am a Technet subscriber so I have already made the switch.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

my rtm from technet/ windows 7 ultimate/is running flawless/games and all apps,my nero 9 is shaky but the nero 9 windows 7 release is coming mid october!

 

[RIOTinYOURcity]

I use Roxio 9 with no problems on W7. For a RC its as good as they come.

I bought Vista Ultimate OEM with no upgrade coupon and didn't open it. After I bought it I was like "shoot! W7 is free!!" lol

Good thing for eBay! Only lost $5

 

[daship]

Already running Win 7 on 3 of my PCs, and office 2007

"FREE Technet" subscription. What on earth will I ever do with all these Product kes for all of MS software.

 

[radnor]

I already am. Using the RC1 since it got free. Some glithces byt never looking back. x64 ofc.

 

[daship]

I had quite a few glitches on rc, but since i got RTM retail, not one problem. Seems quite a bit faster then RC as well, cant wait to get SSD.

 

[mindless728]

been running since the first beta came out when the RC came out i switched that

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

yes the rtm is quicker and more stable i agree!

 

[Onus]

I ran the RC on my backup / test system for a month, and had no troubles, so I switched my primary to the RC also. No problems so far. I only had one compatibility issue with an old image management program (Firehand Ember), now an orphan, so I ditched it for Picasa3.

 

[soundefx]

I am switching because XP will be EOL soon and vista is too bulky at the moment. I run win7 at work and at home without any issues.

They made up for their mistakes with vista.

 

[505090]

Been running Win7 for several months now works great with everything even office 2010.

 

[madmax808]

Absolutely. Win7 has made media sharing through my HTPC to the rest of my house terribly easy, and that means a lot to me.

 

[furious_cruzer]

i just installed 7 (RC 7100) yesterday on my notebook, its a few years old, compairing it to my gfs laptop, im running a core duo 1.6 with 1 gig of ram, shes running a brand new sony vio with c2d 2ghz and 4gb ram, my notebook flys by hers without a doubt, will diffently buy it when the full retail version comes out cause other then a few querks here and there, its amazing

they have a habbit of doing that, windows ME sucked then xp was awesome, now vista sucks, and 7 will be there best yet

 

[randomizer]

Vista doesn't suck if you put it in the same sentence as Me. In fact, it's almost perfect.

 

[furious_cruzer]

windows ME, as in Millennim Edition......

you really havent been around that long have you, lol
