Who has it? Who likes it? Who wants it? :ninja:

I have had it on my laptop for about 5 minutes now and everything seems to run much better than Vista!

[punkr6]

what wouldn't be better then Vista ? I switched to MAC when Vista came out and I will never own a windows based computer again. Complete garbage....

On my old laptop, I ran vista with no problem. Then I got another one with vista and it didnt run so well. I used to be a mac owner. I just prefer PC

I have it on my desktop. I like it a lot. Runs smooth and fast. You need the hardware for it though. I'm running 8GB of DDR3, so anything should run pretty decently though.

[Mk3Jesse]

running windows 7 Home premium 64 bit on my XPS 700 Core 2 Duo 2.1ghz 2GB of ram, and it feels a lot smoother and faster than vista ever was.

[PURP]

My vista runs GREAT. Haven't had a single issue with it... I'd like to switch to 7... maybe one day

[HyPer50]

I've been using the Windows 7 release client for about 6 months, no complaints at all. I'll get a real copy once the release client runs out.

You will need a lot more memory.
Microsoft recommends a minimum of 1 GB of RAM for 32-bit versions of the operating system and a minimum of 2 GB for 64-bit versions. If you plan on taking advantage of the Windows XP Mode feature, you should bump those requirements up to include an additional 1 GB of RAM.

Naw I dont plan on running XP mode. I just want to upgrade to a gig. maybe 2. not sure yet.

[guinness]

all 7 basically is is that it has the speed of xp,the UI of a mac-want-to-be,lower requirements on RAM and cache than vista.it's basically vista with the XP architecture.......but it's still windows,lol.

I want. :ninja:

[Nemesis]

Primarily being a Linux guy at work and partially at home, for gaming and etc I still utilize a Windows box. Most recently I bought a laptop with 7 and its okay I guess. I still experience a few bugs, primarily being every other time returning from sleep mode I lose all wireless connectivity. But I havent experienced one blue screen yet, so thats at least good. Performance is much better than that of Vista.

Got it and I love it so far. Never understood why people talked such shit about Vista... ran fine for me. And honestly I probably wouldn't have upgraded if I didn't get 7 for $30. If you buy hype, Vista sux and you NEED 7. If not, Vista should be fine.

As a CS Major I have experience in a lot of OS's, I recently loaded up 64bit Professional 7 on my Desktop, and have run in to a couple issues that leave me wanting, but it's all from things that are completely understandable. I built my computer over 3 years ago for a 64 bit XP box that would be turned into a vista box. So I've ran into some issues with compatibility of NIC's and sound cards but that's all stuff that will be sorted out with drivers in time when they get around to it. Other than that I see that it has a lot of potential! It definitely runs smoothly and effeciently.

[98strat]

Running 7 on my Inspiron 6000 Laptop since the RC came out. Runs great on my pentium M 1.86ghz and 1.5 gigs of ram. Had i not gotten it for 30 bucks for professional i would not have upgraded from XP.

[IMPORTchic]

I have been running Windows 7 Professional for about a week now and its sooooooo much better so far!!! A lot faster IMO. Less glitches also.

[Atlblkz06]

W7 runs multi-threaded apps a LOT better than WinXP and less of a hog than Vista - DO IT.

agreed.
IF your running a decent computer, there is no good excuse not to go to windows 7 at this time.

[antiv6]

I've never had issues with vista, I've had vista since it came out till about a week ago when i got 7. 7 runs nice and smoothly as expected and I like all of the changes I've noticed, it seems more user friendly.
I have 64bit Windows 7 on my laptop.
2 ghz dual core
6gb ram

[Me86Rob]

holy shit I found a stick of 512m RAM. I cant believe how much of a difference 256m makes!

[mmmmpsi]

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0Ghz Acer laptop w/4GB RAM runs smooth as silk!! Microsoft finally got it right!! To be honest, XP ran great for me on my old laptop but Vista was always a nightmare..

yeah now wait till you catch up to the rest of the world and have more than 2gb lol.

[Me86Rob]

yeah now wait till you catch up to the rest of the world and have more than 2gb lol.

yeah yeah. ive never had any use for tons of RAM until I started playing the Sims. Ill catch up soon enough. im just broke right now lol.

[bdydrpdmazda]

I have it and I love it! Ive had it since April and have not had a single problem out of it.

[Hulud]

loving it

[SPOOLIN]

i switched to 7 pro 64bit at work from XP, and trust me i wouldn't have done it if it was not as good or better. Its def much better, but still not MAC. hehe.

7 starter is fucking homo as hell for anyone looking for a NETBOOK, I figured out how gay it was and returned that shit within 24hrs lol...ordered an HP netbook with XP HOME!!

[driftyboy]

Still running the evaluation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit on my new comp. Have been on XP for a looooooong time, but when I got my new computer I had to get a 64 bit OS for my 4GB of ram and decided to try out 7. No complaints here, runs super smooth.

[TougeGTR-33]

i have it and i love it.

[HarietTubgrl]

i've had win 7 for about a month now. personally, i haven't seen many problems for what i use at home, but at work there are compatibility issues with some of the things people use, so that gets to be a pain.

and ms gave the wrong key to my boss, so the one i had stopped working. *facepalm* it's fixed now, though, so i guess not too awful bad

[JDMEK18]

Yeah, i'll be getting it in a few weeks. I'm buying the family pack with 3 license so i'll have 2 to sell if anyone needs one. Just pm me.

[djmaddmartin]

I'm running the full Windows 7 Ultimate. Love the reliabilty, speed and new features. Way better than Vista. Love that it only loads services for programs on a need basis. Runs much faster on my desktop than Vista ever did. Only thing is my video card doesn't perform as well as it did in XP or Vista. But the desktop is old 2002 and the card is a bit antique GeForce 7600GS. I will be upgrading to a new PC this year anyway and this one will become my backup. But I must say Windows 7 is a vast improvement over Vista. Worth the upgrade.

[civicturbo10]

Vista 64 here and it seems ok. SSD is where it's at. I need more space though...

[600 Double R]

i heard windows 7 is more smoother running than vista. im thinking about upgrading on my desktop. vista on it is good already but just wanna upgrade.
