OT:anyone else excited about Windows 7?

[d_icemand]

I'm looking forward to the release of Windows 7 this upcoming Oct 22nd. Anyone else? I have an old workhorse computer that barely surfes the web. The wife and I are thinking of a new PC and I've been waiting for the right time.

I went to Best Buy just messing around, and they have pulled all their computers off the floor and are waiting the release of 7. Kinda wierd.

I'm a mac guy here, sorry

Windows 7 should be awesome. I've been running the release candidate for the past 6 months or so and I love it.

 

[Koddie Doo]

mac here as well, If I was a windows guy I would be looking forward to 7.1 to fix the bugs that they missed.

 

[khaosinc]

I look forward to windows 7 about the time they come out with widows 8... thats when most the bugs will be fixed

 

[breutus]

Yeah I have beta tested and now how the release candidate as well, I think it is really smooth compared to vista and almost out competes XP!

Makes me happy

Mac lover here now....will never go back to PC or windows in my home.

 

[logiktest]

Mixed household here(Mac's & PC's). "7" is on pre-order and better be super frigging' fantastic or else it's just one more PC that went through the window... this glass is gettin' expensive...

I've been running Windows 7 for a few months and like it so far...

 

[d_icemand]

im surprised that a lot of people have the beta version and have already tried it out.

I have been runing Windows 7 for a year now, and best OS they have released in 10 Years. Runs cirlces around a MAC.

If you are a college student you can get Windows 7 home for $29.99 up until Jan.

Yeah the betas were out for a while, and the RC was available for a short time a while back. Luckily I jumped on it. It's valid until the middle of next year. After having used macs on campus, I'd only buy one for data collection and analysis. Other than that, PC will always be my choice, but's that an entirely different thread in itself. But until apple can make good software and have upgradeable hardware, I'm a PC.

hopefully its better than vista vista was holding me back on a new computer --

 

[gbecker]

Curious, was there something in particular that was holding you back?

Agreed, vista is horrible. I have it on my laptop and ***** about it everyday. I have XP pro. on my desktop and even that p***** me off.

Chad,
I get that you hate it.. but , what are your reasons? The Windows 7 GUI is very similar to Vista. Do you hate Vista because you are having a hard time navigating around?

are you really asking this question? have you never used XP and Vista b/c you would notice the differences.

just use linux its free and 100 times better than "Spyware 7" haha windoze is such a joke.

 

[barnabus's gimp]

anyone who pays for an operating system and software is really wasting tons of money. why pay for information when its free and supported by millions of computer nerds like with linux? amazing, everyone loves free yet they want to throw all their money at things like anti-virus software... the reality is, windows is the spyware. mac is only slightly better.
