Windows 7 - What we still don't know …

So far, I enjoy Window 7. Those who enjoy classic/xp might have a more difficult time switching to 7 oppose to those who already switch to Vista. I am getting the Ultimate regardless of how many editions there are and as long as it comes out before 2011, I can get it cheap from my school.

I'm impressed so far. I wasn't able to transfer from XP to 7 so I had to back up all my data on an external. I did a clean install and as soon as I connected to the Internet (automatically) it downloaded all of my drivers. Very impressive. I am amazed that Windows 7 is only a beta. I'm also using Internet Explorer 8; very fast and the first time I used IE in over a year. All I have to say is good work. Finally an upgrade I'm willing to pay for.

I was shocked as well - when I installed Vista on my PC the same thing happened (auto internet connection + drivers).

my Vista "Capable" HP doesn't Aero that well.. but Window 7 runs is pretty good. still messing around with it. after install the 64bit.. it takes up about 10 GBs.

anyone knows a way for Window7 to see/read the Vista drive in a dual boot laptop?

LinuxGuru6332d ago

There's a program out there call "EasyBCD". You should be able to reinstall the vista bootloader and create an entry for Windows 7 as well.

Look it up.

Varmint6332d ago

I'm running Vista and 7 in a dual-boot laptop, with 7 on a separate partition. When I first started up 7, I couldn't see the Vista partition in My Computer. If that's your problem, it's just that 7 hasn't assigned a drive letter to the Vista partition.

Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management and in there you should be able to find a drive volume that's the same size as your Vista drive/partition, but it isn't labeled. Right-click on it and assign it a drive letter, and then you should be able to see it in My Computer and access the information on it from 7.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing14d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit14d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing14d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9214d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
