Windows 7
« on: 24 June 2009, 22:27:03 »
I have just installed W7 after dragging my heels until I finally blew my lid with vista and bit the bullet.

First impressions are very good, nice interface easy to use (even the wife may find it more intuitive!) only time will tell on the reliability  :y

Hi there
i installed windows 7 as soon as it became available :)
 needs a little tweaking but is much much better than vista as anyone with any computer knowledge would agree :)

I agree, it was pure procrastination on my part that was stopping me.  But now I am settled into my new house I have had the time and motivation to do it  :y

What tweaks have you played with?

I've just bought 2 Laptops (for SWMBO and I), both of which have come with Vista >:( >:( >:(

I'm struggling to get to grips with it TBH but I'm reluctant to upgrade to 7 until I know the bugs have been ironed out :y :y

Are there any driver issues like there were when Vista was released?

I'm off to Brighton tomorrow to see my Dad for the weekend... He's a bit of an IT buff so I'll ask his opinion :y :y :y

The driver issues only came about because the various hardware manufacturers dragged their heels, it wasn't MS's fault.

So far, the Vista drivers for the hardware I have work quite happily under Win 7.

Must confess, I wanted XP but it's not easy to find on a laptop of the spec I was after :y :y
