Numberzz Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I think this is interesting enough to front page it, but not tonight. I'm far to lazy. Honestly, does anyone on here find what Sticman posted remotely funny? Beside from the word 'hung,' no I did not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbz Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 I really do hope Windows 7 is an improvement over Vista... because Vista sucks. Better OS competition = better OSes all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InorganicMatter Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I wish Windows 7 would obsolete all old software ala MacOS 9 to X, and put in some seriously hard-ass driver and application quality control enforcement measures. Would solve 99.9% of the "problems" with Windows today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted December 16, 2007 Author Share Posted December 16, 2007 I wish Windows 7 would obsolete all old software ala MacOS 9 to X That would seem what they want to do: There have also been indications that Windows 7 will use virtualisation to run any software that hasn’t been specifically written for Windows 7 Or maybe they could use a compatibility layer, similar to Wine.

I wish that too, but the problem is that 95% of MS clients are Big Companies that are not willing to update unless their proprietary software will run without a hitch .

scj312 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 That would seem what they want to do:Or maybe they could use a compatibility layer, similar to Wine. Windows already has a compatability layer, similar to wine, and a VM for 16-bit apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernest Defoe Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Other than the compatibility issues with Vista and some programs I kinda liked it at first, but then got to be about as bad as WindowsME was. Which was more or less one big bug. I bought a PC that had ME on it, and after about a week I ditched that and went with Windows2000 cause it was a million times more stable. I liked WindowsXP, but I went out and got a used iMac running Leopard, and now I don't even use my Windows Vista Ultimate laptop. It sits beside my computer desk on my chaise lounge and doesn't get moved unless there is a file I need off of it, and then I just use my network to pull it over to my iMac.

robotskip Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Wait, Ernest, so you went out, bought a laptop capable of running Ultimate and now you don't use it? Or are there many, many details you aren't providing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernest Defoe Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 No I have had the laptop for awhile. Got it after Vista came out. I have been dying to get back into a Mac so I took a look at the local Mac Authorized Dealer's website and noticed that they had a great deal on a used iMac, but the one they had online was sold and the one I bought was cheaper and was speced out better. The only difference was the one on the website also had about a year and a half of the Apple Care Protection left on it, but had half the RAM as the one I bought, and alot smaller HD. So I bought it instead, and now my laptop just sits there not being used because I have loved the stability and speed of my iMac and Leopard. I still have some files on the laptop that I drag over using my network, but for the most part it's not being used. Gonna clean it out, and reinstall Vista and give it to the fiance I think. She needs a laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayanami Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 It seems to me that any of those "Preview" shots could have easily been made with Object Dock and Object Bar from Stardock. I dunno...Vista is starting to grow on me. Especially as Leo trashes my MBP, and I have to constantly fall back on my Gateway. Thanks for the link though. After Office 2007, the team on Win7 has me a bit more reassured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 After Office 2007, the team on Win7 has me a bit more reassured. Office 07 is amazing. It's better than Office 03, OpenOffice and iWork 08. I'm really hoping MS does well with Windows 7; Vista can be saved but they cannot afford to make anything less than a stellar OS the next time around.
