Ready to wipe Vista away and upgrade to Windows 7?

QOTD: Will You Be Running Win 7 Tomorrow? : Read more

 

[tayb]

Been an "official" windows 7 owner for a couple of weeks now and been running it since build 7000.

I can't say that I'll be throwing a windows 7 part though.

 

[one-shot]

Why run it tomorrow when I'm running it today?

However, if I didn't get it through MSDN, I'd wait a little while because Vista works fine right now.

 

[Guest]

As soon as i have my copy i will install on my old computer (but not the way you guys had a video of, having to get more ram to get Windows Vista up and about! )

 

[Accidental]

As an employee at a software company we get had the privilege of installing the Windows 7 RTM Professional/Business on our workstations. It is far beyond what I initially expected and will be installing an Ultimate copy for my home PC. Props to M$ for a stable, lean and mean OS (so far, from my past month of usage)

 

[timaahhh]

Payday is on Friday . Gonna order it along with a 750 GB harddrive.

I'm in no hurry. I've had 0 problems with Vista since I got it and don't exactly see the need, let alone day 1. If anything I would wait a few weeks at the least to see if anything major pops up and they get all the wrinkles ironed out. MS isn't exactly known for flawless roll outs.

 

[Ehsan w]

no,
I don't really see any major upgrades to spend 100 euro's on it
gaming performance didn't really go up anyways from vista which i'm running now. Maybe windows 8

 

[masterasia]

Yes, on all 4 of my PCs. Windows is great compared to Windows Vista.

 

[Guest]

Well, I'm already running the MSDNAA Windows 7 Pro, but I know many people who will be getting it as soon as it's available. Overall, the OS really is something to be impressed about. Its features and flawless performance thus far leads me to believe this will be the best addition to the Windows family yet. Grats to Microsoft.

No, Believe or not I'm still using Windows 2000. I purchased Windows Wista six months ago when I discovered Win2K couldn't be installed on my new 500GB drive. I've played around with Vista but haven't really gotten hardcore into it yet. Win2k is still working (from old drive) fine for me being much more familar. I have to admit Vista is so different it will take some getting used to and I have to see if the programs I want to use will run correctly before I start using it full time.

 

[ominous prime]

Putting it on the new build tomorrow [:mousemonkey:3]

 

[griffed88]

im gettin it tomorrow and installing it as soon as i get home. My university has the ultimate version for $20, so i plan on buying a few copies.

 

[Guest]

Sadly Amazon does not ship out until the 22nd. Won't be running it until the 26th/27th.

 

[rodney_ws]

I guess so... my 90 day eval copy still has around 75 days on it... and NewEgg will hopefully ship my real copy.

 

[chaohsiangchen]

Maybe not tomorrow. Still need a TB-size harddrive for fresh install.

 

[DjEaZy]

... @ 21.10.2009 use the RC...

to use 2k on a larger drive you need a few tricks, i used more than a few of them till just recently switching to XP over the last year.

For me while i took advantage of the discounted preorders, i waiting till at least after next week's midterms, if not till the end of the term in December, since i have 3+ family computers to switch over, and this means that we'll have a few months of day 0 bugs worked out.

I plan on using Win7pro and when my bro gets back from school he wants me to update his new laptop to 7 as well, i also plan on getting Win7 Home for my parents for the holidays.

Otherwise most of our machines still use 2k

 

[gosefroba]

I have had Windows 7 Pro for a little over a month cause i am a CS major at my school runs perfectly thus far

 

[martin33w20]

as soon as i get it currently overseas and unable to downlad the RC's so waiting on newegg delivery!!

 

[squidrott]

Been running the 64-bit version since the RTM.

It definitely has been a better experience than what I had with Vista (/shudder). And imho, a worthwhile upgrade from XP 64-bit...as long as your not running a lot of older hardware (had to switch to onboard sound because the available drivers for my old SoundBlaster 2 ZS gamer sucked.)

 

[megamanx00]

Nah. Since I ain't a student anymore I can't download it from Park for free, and I don't feel the need for it right now. I'll wait a few months so they can get the bugs out ^_^

 

[doomtomb]

considering that I've been running win 7 for the past 3 months, ya I'll be running it tomorrow.

Technet For The Win - Been running Win 7 x64 since Beta.

 

[d0n7bl1nk]

Yeah, I'll finally be retiring my old copy of XP Pro.
