Using VISTA? Or waiting for Windows 7 ? -

I used Vista since the day it came out, went through all the errors and blue screens, and I have to say even though not all is sorted out though, it has become an OS that I enjoy. I am just wondering what is your opinion on Vista (is it still crap, is it getting better or don t you have any problems) or are you just holding back and waiting for Windows 7. And do you think Windows 7 is going to be great, what did you hear and did you try the 7 Beta? Cheers

Windows 7 is basically a stripped down version of Vista with a better desktop, I d say Windows 7 is better, MinWin weighs little more than the average Unix kernel, meaning a couple of K on the RAM doesn t mean anything. People seem to get confused as when Linux geeks say Windows Vista/7 is fat and slow , well they think its the coding, well for their information, Windows Vista and Windows 7 only uses 2K more on the RAM than Linux 2.6 does and CPU speeds are untouched unless engaging in some calculation. Windows Vista and Windows 7 target the GPU and not the CPU in most cases, and GPUs are in most cases slower than CPUs because they are in less production because of all the transistors they have for texturisation and polygon mapping, targetting the GPU for graphics leads to a major flaw, in older computers (2007 and earlier) the GPUs are nowhere near as good as the even currently slow GPUs, meaning the older GPUs won t easily run Vista/7, Windows 7 6956 targets the CPU and GPU in an equal balance - reference here: http://windowseven.co.cc/index.php/2008/... - out the CPU and GPU, enabling a fast and powerful experience with less specifications needed, the thing is, Linux targets the CPU naturally because it is a very shell-orientated kernel, meaning it has to send text-based instructions to the CPU to run, whereas Windows uses real binary data between all the hardware for a better graphical experience, which is acceptable, but without a good GPU you are in the dark, WARP and CPU-Acceleration will certainly enhance the Aero and 3D experience in smaller, more portable PCs, and older ones. Basically the Acceleration forces this to happen GPU-HZ + CPU-HZ = Fast Speeds, slowing both accelerations to both of the Processing Units. At the end of this, 7 will match Linux s speeds with an Aero Desktop, which means there is no reason to stay with Linux anymore, XP users should also be able to easily upgrade, if there PC is seriously bad, they can upgrade their PC, their GPU, or reduce their Aero usage, like removing transparency or using the Vista Basic theme, let s face it, the Vista Basic theme is no worse than the Luna theme, plus it works with DWM, unlike XP themes! There is no Windows 7 Beta yet, there is Windows 7 Alpha and Pre-Beta builds that were leaked illegally, but no Beta is coming out yet, we hope it will come out next month: http://windowseven.co.cc/index.php/2008/...

Don t come in others words..Just believe me Vista works fine with SP1...Windows 7 is ultra fast compare to Windows...I have been using it over one month..You can pick Windows 7 after six months only..

Vista is another bloated pig with more lipstick. Windows 7 is vaporware. XP would be the better option or just get a Mac

I think Windows 7 is sluggish.
