Thoughts on the new Windows 7

[rpm]

Is it a new pc or a old nic? LoL @ it for not having drivers.

It is a new PC - no older than 3 months. Strange that it does not pick up the NIC - never had a problem with it before

Mmmmm...That's so whack..Ive got a old network card and it installed the drivers automatically!! Stupid question mate but is the pc hooked up to the internet?

Not currently - without the network card Will hook it up via a USB modem and then search for drivers...

Windows 7 is far better than any previous version of Windows I've worked with, in my opinion. I'm continually shocked at how stable it is in its beta state. Microsoft has definitely made heaps of improvements over Vista. Windows 7 will redeem them.

Just one question though - has anyone managed to install a Netgear wifi dongle? (WG111v2). Netgear products always give me driver-related problems.

Do you guys still visit MyBB?

This is my new home now.


on topic (for a change): Will my athlon 3000+ with 2gb ddr400 handle Windows 7 or should I rather stick with XP ? I know Vista wasn't too much of a happy camper.

Sounds good enough to me.
If anything Windows 7 should run even better than Vista did on it.

So badly wanna swear now..that's pathetic...My current version expires august of this year!!!!

where u get it?

Windows 7 is looking promising, looks like a decent improvement over Vista, though if I have to be honest it's what Vista should have been in the first place.

 

[The Joker]

I got it from my brother in law mate.
It was available for download.

I have it if anyone wants to make a copy or something and you're nearby. I tried it out and still have it installed for testing purposes. I think they've gone in a good direction and I'm optimistic that Windows 7 will be all that we need in an OS...

Still struggling with AVG on windows 7!

 

[Isengard]

I got my Vista install to look like Windows 7 so I can wait till the real thing arrives, which I'm guestemating at around October-November. I don't like the idea of using a beta as my main OS.

Still struggling with AVG on windows 7!

Have you tried Avast?
