TechRadar.com: Windows 7 Full RTM review

Windows 7 is complete. After previews and beta versions and then the Windows 7 Release Candidate, the Windows 7 team has decided that Windows 7 is ready to release. Windows 7 is making its way onto MSDN and TechNet, and is already with PC makers.

Windows Technical Beta Program members will be getting their free Windows 7 in the next few days.

This isn't the exact version of Windows 7 that you'll get on a new PC, because there are still content deals for Media Center to lock down and it doesn't have the Windows 7 web browser ballot screen that users in Europe are likely to see when they set up a Windows 7 PC (new or upgraded).

windows 7, it looks good, basically what vista should of been. but the problem for me is the cost. i could build a PC and buy a monitor and install xp pro for the cost of this OS.

Nihilism6048d ago

that's my thinking on the matter too, in paid $300 aus for my OEM only copy of vista ultimate 64bit, i think my money will go towards a new mobo or something, and then i'll get win7 when i'm fully upgrades, that limited install of windows is b.s, i'm always upgrading and i swear i've installed vista 3 times already for that very reason

And it allowed me to not buy an OS when I built my new machine! So actually saved me money.

And also Windows 7 has some good pre-order deals atm (50%) off.

I think on day one it will expensive, but it really is IMO the best OS Microsoft have put out. XP was good after several service packs but 7 has been great since day one. I haven't had it crash at all, it works with all my software and hardware and it boots in literally 1/4 or 1/3 of the time of any other OS.

In short I recommend it. And I dont work for Microsoft!

I preordered 3 copies of Windows 7 Ultimate and 3 Copies of Office 2007 for the house.

That was stupid usern4g, you can install Windows 7 on three computers with them all being genuine with one disk.

Loxhart6048d ago

Wow, I still found Vista to be good. I'll eventually upgrade it though.

Windows 7 is looking really nice - I can't wait to upgrade.

Metacritic Removes Resident Evil 9 Review From Fake AI Writer

Kotaku writes: "A Resident Evil Requiem review published by long-standing UK gaming news site Videogamer has been removed from Metacritic after readers pointed out it was written by a fake AI journalist who doesn’t actually exist. Videogamer‘s human masthead was gutted last week, sources tell Kotaku, and the site has been publishing apparent genAI slop ever since."

Genuinely well done on metacritic for taking such an immediate hard stance. Not often, if at all, you see that these days. Credit where it’s due.

Eonjay33m ago(Edited 32m ago)

This is really sad on so many levels. Not least of all the fact that all the human lost their jobs to a language model. Can we block all content coming from Videogamer site. Can we make a rule that content sumitted to N4G must be greated by a human being.

I'm gonna report every Videogamer article I see on N4G from now on so just putting it out there.
