What is your take on Windows 7? email this discussion to a friend?

Windows Vista was a major failure making the computer really slow. Hence MS fast tracked Windows 7 into the market. So what is the report on Windows 7? Is it worth the hype or is it another failure like Windows Vista?

Cheers!

Seriously, why don't you just google and read the reviews. About 24 hours ago I was hanging about the "new discussions" section of mylot and I saw a discussion very similiar to this. Are you both the same person?=P

From what I read it seems that Windows 7 is the best so far; not sure about Windows 7 VS Windows XP but 7 should be much better than Vista. I don't think much about Vista. The only way it seems to be superior to XP is the graphics. Which takes up a lot of RAM.

I am not the same person for sure. But, I do want individuals opinion on windows 7 i.e. common people who use it and not the so called experts or geeks.

Windows Vista was not as bad as the general public tended to suggest. The problems were compatability, which would disappear in time as computers become updated, and the need for greater system resources which has always been the case with a new operating system.
As for Windows 7, it is a vast improvement on Vista and should prove to be the best Windows released so far. I started with Windows 7 Beta about 7 or 8 months ago and now use the Windows 7 RC version. There are stillsome compatability issues because my CD writer does not get recognised or my scanner, but the situation is certain ti improve.

Thanks for your inputs. How about the RAM consumption and the general speed of the system?

Well, I think they make windows 7 to hide the biggest mistake that they made for windows vista.
So, I already used both of it and I think windows 7 is much better than windows vista.
The security and performance are much better than windows vista.
Windows 7 is much more light than windows vista based on my experience when I using both of it before this.
So, if you asked me about whether windows 7 is good enough. Well I will says yes of course.
But Microsoft will always release a new windows like always in the future.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ram_cv (2261)   ranked 289 out of 10,880 in computers  1 month ago

Thanks for your inputs. But how is the RAM requirements and the general speed?

Cheers!

myLot reputation of 86/100. kunizzul (646)   ranked 3,759 out of 10,880 in computers  1 month ago

Well, min is 512mb and max 192gb.
If you asked me about the speed then I can tell you that windows 7 is much better than windows vista. But windows xp is much faster than windows 7.
I think because windows xp use less RAM and less disk resources than windows 7.
But still windows 7 is much better than windows vista and xp in security and stability.

That is precisely what I wanted to know... I am currently happy with my Win XP, so to migrate to Windows 7, I need to know whether that would require me to upgrade my hardware as well...

Hi, ram_cv. Windows 7 is more faster than Windows Vista with more exciting features. I have tried Vista and the system has big incompatibility with my favourite games and some of the apps. Now, I am using XP and won't upgrade to Windows 7, btw, its price is also high. Maybe i'll change to use Ubuntu or gNewSense or some other Linux distribution.
Have a nice day, ram_cv!


myLot reputation of 96/100. ram_cv (2261)   ranked 289 out of 10,880 in computers  1 month ago

Ah this seems to be a regular MS issues, incompatibility with existing programs... But soon the compatible upgrades would be available.

Cheers!
Ram


myLot reputation of 42/100. mmxida (111)   ranked 1,865 out of 10,880 in computers  1 month ago

Yeah, it seems that Windows 7 has solved the incompatibility already, If so, that'll be a good news for Windows 7 users.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ram_cv (2261)   ranked 289 out of 10,880 in computers  1 month ago

Good.

I don't like it. Apparently it is vulnerable to 8 out of 10 virus'.

I got a new computer which had Windows 7 installed and I have to say I love Windows 7, it is a whole new league compared to Vista which was an utter failure. Windows 7 is pretty much a super refined Vista that actually has functionality and doesn't have the numerous problems that Vista had. It definitely is a step in the right direction for Microsoft and for the people who are using XP, try Windows 7 because you are missing out.


myLot reputation of 96/100. ram_cv (2261)   ranked 289 out of 10,880 in computers  2 weeks ago

Sure. But, I plan to update sometime in February - March time frame.

Cheers!
