Windows 7
- Thread starter ThePercies

Is that the same as Interent Explorer 7 or is it the new Microsoft OS Percies? :-[
I don't know the difference but I have IE 7 and it's crap. I updated it to the new version and lost all my e-mails, and had problems with it operating properly so I did a system restore back to the date when I had IE 7. I have a lot of problems with it.
Edit..I just did a search for Windows 7 and it's obvious I was not only on the wrong track, but I'm also a computer ignoramus.

Its the new windows OS Rosy.
It has IE8 on it. I hate it and only use mozilla.
I know it not the finished article but it runs so smooth.
Percies, I installed Windows 7 RC1 some time ago on a separate partition. I find it boots quickly and has been quite stable. I run some current games that are very demanding and also web browse. So long as all the hardware companies are ready with drivers, I think Windows 7 will be a winner. I'll be grabbing it as soon as they release it.
Thanks to those who have already posted on this.
But keep the info coming guys. I need all the help I can when it comes to this type of thing.

As with previous OS's, I'll wait at least 6 months to see how the land lies before upgrading. Never went to Vista and am happy enough with XP. Microsoft needs to provide incentives to go through the pain of installing and learning a new OS.

Exactly where I am at. Still have the unopened free copy of Vista Microsoft gave me.

Don't bother with Vista. Go straight to Windows 7. I'm loving it. Very easy to use and VERY stable. As long as there are drivers ready then this will end up Microsofts best ever OS. :clap

Well I'm not running it, but I was discussing this with a good mate the other night. He's a big IT wig for one of the Top 4 accounting/consultancy firms in the city.
He said he was running and testing a beta version of it and he was shocked how well it ran. It's basically Vista apparantly but streamlined to not be so resource heavy on the computer. It's a masked version of Vista, that is more like another service pack than a significant overhaul.
Therefore it is looking highly promising and there is a much lower risk with this one. They basically took into account the backlash/feedback from Vista and used it to tweak out another version.
The main focus of it apparently is making it not so resource heavy to run on systems. It's closer to the size of XP now than the original Vista.

Have to agree, running it on my PC and laptop and it is sweet. Apps load quicker as well as Windows itself being just so much "smoother". IE8 is still a pig though ;D.
That's a given DD, have been since its inception, however what I was getting at, was Microshaft's still poor excuse for a browser being installed by default. It's a pain having to uninstall it from all the machines I look after

Ah I'm with you, sounds like a pain.
Does anyone still get the odd 'You are not connected to a network' screen on Windows 7 at times?
If so, would this have something to do with a LAN having just IPv4 connectivity and no access to IPv6?
Are we using IPv6 yet??

Danced with the Devil this long weekend and purchased an iPad & iPhone. Quite intuitive to use, and fun, too. If Windows 9 disappoints, I'll look seriously at a Mac Pro.
