Does anybody have any info on Windows 7, the os thats to replace vista in 2010? -

I heard that it will not be a big release and that microsoft will do a big release every other os, so does that mean that it will just be a slighly better vista? or what will be new with it?

yes i heard that will be a small package to install very easy but the if you need something you pay to get it something like this check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_7

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Vie... SHould have all the information you will need

The next version of windows to be released is called Fiji. It is supposedly based on Vista, but will have a different code base that introduces a lot of fixes. It was scheduled to be released in 2010, but there are rumours that due to the BooBoos in Vista they are moving up the release to early 2009. After that they are going to release Windows Vienna. This is supposedly going to be a whole new concept for Windows. It was scheduled for 2011, now it is being slated for 2010.

It is basically the same as Vista except a few code things....the layout is near enough the same as vista

The big complaint with Vista was the bloat. 7 will be slimmed down, hopefully a lot. I want DX10 to be easy to run. They are also going to try to make it idiot friendly.

cant beat xp! :p

How do I get IE 7 back on Windows Vista Ultimate? -

I installed Internet Explorer 8 BETA on my PC and I don t like it, so I went to microsofts website and they only have it for Windows XP

I believe that if you uninstall IE8 the OS will revert to the older version.

Will a dell d600 run windows 7 an not get ruinede and i have a mac? -

if so how do i do it do i need a copy of xp. ooooooooohhhhh!!!!! can you bootcamp linux??????

I m running Windows 7 on my dell d600 right now but the wireless drives do not work, i will probably reinstall XP tonight

for the dell, you would need a ram upgrade for it to reach the min but it will run slow because of the processor. You can get a copy of xp from an online retailer like tigerdrirect and newegg. bootcamp program is not need for linux as many linux verison can run on mac computers without the use of bootcamp. Although I have never done this but you would need to set the partitions and I would keep a backup of the OS just incase.

You don t need a copy of XP. Bootcamp is for loading XP onto a mac, not Linux. You COULD run it on a Dell d600, but I wouldn t recommend it. It ll run VERY slow. Bootcamp and VMware would also eat up a lot of RAM. My advice? Get a new computer. Even a cheapy right now would do the trick for what you re looking to do.

Failure to update Microsoft security update for internet explorer 7 for windows XP (KB929969)? -

When I run Microsoft High-Priority updates and try to update the “Security update for internet explorer 7 for windows XP (KB929969)” I continue to receive an error message without update successful. Please advise what might be wrong with my computer set up that prevent of updating this Microsoft update. Thanks

Did you download and install Internet Explorer 7? If not, that s what the security update is saying. Ignore it. And don t let the automatic updates download amp; install IE7. You will end up having to uninstall it. Mine does that, and I just keep refusing to let it install. I ll decide when I want IE7, and it s not now. Change your options on automatic updates to quot;Download updates but let me choose when to install them.quot; That way, you can choose which updates you want installed.

I had the same problem. Turn off Your security system (like Norton Anti-virus or/and Norton Internet Security for example) when you download it.

What is going to happen to Windows Vista now that theres Windows 7? -

I have had Vista for about 2 years, and I have had no problems with it really, although many people says it s really bad. But will I be able to continue using this, or will I have to get Windows 7? Sorry I really no nothing about computers, so I just want to make sure that everything will still be okay.

windows 7 is in the beta stage... this means it ll be a while before it s actually released... probably another year or 2.... even then, windows will still support, and update users with vista for a long time so your ok... windows xp users still get updates and support like normal until 2014.. so vista will definitely reach into the 2020 s at least :)

. so vista will definitely reach into the 2020 s at least :) ??? ermm.. I don t think so.. Windows 7 is vistas replacement,Vista was a mistake, so rather than trying to patch vista all the time they just rebuilt it into windows 7. It s not going to be a year or 2 until it s released, It s out July. Report Abuse

windows xp won t get support until 2014 NO WAY. or vista till the 2020 ALSO NO WAY is that gunna happen sorry windows 7 should be released around the end of this year or begginning of next year by then xp probably would have been completely discontinued and no support availble, vista still will Report Abuse

You will still be able to use Windows Vista, the same way that people out there today can still use Windows XP even though Vista has been out for awhile now. But who knows, it may turn out that Windows 7 is really cool and you may want to download it. I m debating whether or not it is worth the time to download the beta which is still available. In short, you won t need to worry about Vista being usable when Windows 7 comes out.

Your honestly fine. Don t worry about getting another operating system. A lot of people still use XP and prefer it to vista. There is really a great deal of freedom with PC s. It is all still compatible, so don t worry about it. Windows 7 is just a Beta version for people to test out. It s your choice if you wana switch. It just depends on what you need from a computer, your own preferences and the technical specifications that differ from each OS. Infact I m trying to downgrade from Vista to XP at the moment.

Windows 7 is basically Vista R2, and Microsoft says anything that runs on Vista will run on 7. So most likely anything the runs on 7 will run on Vista too. For now Windows 7 isn t out in final form so your don t have to worry. Also Vista support will last a few years after Windows 7 comes out too.

honestly, it doesnt really matter. but windows 7 is faster and honestly its beta is better than vista. to actual computer users, it feels more complete than vista. but theres rumors that windows vista users will get either a discount or a free copy of windows 7.

Technically it isn t out yet. But when it does come out it will slowly take over laptops like Vista over XP.

Windows 7 isn t released yet, only the beta. Vista is still Microsoft s latest stable release of Windows so it will still be supported for a while.

You can still use it. Windows XP is still around isnt it? Lol lame XP users

you can still use it, just because your friend gets a new car doesnt mean yours wont work.

nothing will happen, windows vista will still exist

You re still good. No worries.

Mozilla Firefox Crashes under Windows 7? -

My Mozilla Firefox 3 crashes randomly(?) after a random(?) amount of time in Windows 7 Beta ver. 6956. (Previously known as Windows Vienna) Anyone know a fix for it?? Thanks in advance...

I would suggest that one or both are corrupt and need to be replaced. Try Firefox first as thats a smaller download. Right click on the HELP drop down menu in Firefox, and upgrade Firefox. You could always try : IE 7 Download. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...

At the top of my head, Windows 7 is still in beta and Mozilla Firefox 3 was only recently released. Both software are still unstable and crashing is probably what you would expect. Why the hell are you using Windows 7 anyway? Are you a developer or do you just want to be cool?

Installing windows 7 on a seperate hard drive? -

Ok so i am highly anticipating the official release of the new windows 7 beta tommorow. I have 1 hard drive in my computer right now with vista 32-bit on it, but i just purchased a new seagate barracuda on which i plan to install the beta. My question is how do i go about doing this? Step by step instructions please. Remember the second hard drive will be brand new with nothing ever on it. So basically i want to keep my vista on the first drive and install the beta on my brand new second drive. Help??

Install your hard drive amp; make sure it is recognized in your PC BIOS. When installing W7 it will ask you which hard drive you want it on....if not go to your BIOS amp; make the new hard drive the first boot device. regards, Philip T
