Title: Windows 7
Post by: [MAF]Sighmoan on October 22, 2009, 09:34:50 am

Anyone got a copy and moved from the RC to RTM?

I should get my copy of Pro today and move over to 7 on the weekend. I can't wait to see how much quicker it is that my Vista64 install.

Also, anyone got a .ac.uk email address from uni so i can get another copy for £30? Nevermind, i am abusing my sisters uni email account.

i don't like windows 7, for one reason and one reason only:

the ultra bright taskbar, when you get a message on msn, or having programs open. it literally blinds you so much that you don't know who is sending you messages, or you can't see see which programs you have open.

Wear sunglasses. Plus you will look cool too.

In the middle of it now and the bastard thing can't detect my wireless card. :( Thank god i have this netbook to get the driver; how crap if i didn't. Why isn't there a default basic driver it can use?

My PC is too far from the router for a wire, so in the end i connected my phone via the USB and then let Windows find a driver off the net,  which it did.

All done now and all good so far, although my boot speed is still totally shit.

I had the beta 7100 version a few months back, boot times didnt last more than 60 seconds for me, was bloody brilliant.

Wireless internet sucks. I used it for years before and every now and then in source based games, I'd get a 2-3 second lag, it's worth buying a super long wire and directly connecting to the router. But I guess it depends on the distance... still sucks though.

Agreed, my old house had an ethernet socket in every room, but new one doesn't. Wifi will have to do.

Falcon i am glad you got a quick boot up time, on my netbook it is really quick, just utter lame on the desktop :(
