Read a few bits where it is actually faster than XP and Vista in supposed "Real World" tasks which is nice to know.

 

I'm very tempted to give it a go. I've always gone straight into using Beta versions of Windows full time. Probably quite a stupid thing to do but ah well!

 

Could do with a fresh install in this laptop anyway.

I'll have to give that a try on my spare PC here. Sounds good though!

I have just installed that on Sun xVM virtualbox to test the new direct
3D function but alas it did not work as Windows 7 still see's the GC as a stanarad VGA card. Still it was the fasted installed of a new OS that I have ever seen. Fully installed in around 12 minutes which is pretty good. I gave it 1.5Gb of ram and it runs a rather well. I have not installed any applications yet but thats the next test.

Oh, does it play well with Vista drivers?

Should do. The two are supposed to be almost 100% compatible with each other regarding drivers and software.

Yeah, it's absolutely fine. It got driver updates from Windows Update and everything.

 

There seems to be a slight blip with anti-virus, but it links you to preview releases from Kaspersky or AVG. I got the Kaspersky and it works fine.

 

Oh, and UAC has got much better; there are "don't ask again for this application" checkboxes and suchlike.

Good good. Once I've tidied up my laptop I'll give it a go.

 

(This usually entails dumping my desktop in a folder on my server that will never be looked at again and screenshotting my Programs list, printing it and highlighting the stuff I want to install again)

I might just replace XP with 7 when it's matured a bit. That's all contingent on whether I have a new PC or not.

 

2.4 ghz Intel
Intel mobo
Nvidia 7600 GS agp
1 gig RAM tbh

Quite right. Scotland should always be spelt with a lower case 'S' in this situation. (fail)

It's clearly the famous Beethoven bust, but with added sunglasses (and built in digital clock).
