to get out of the Vista nightmare that I have been stuck in since I purchased my laptop. I have more bugs and oddities than I can count.

And no, the updates don't fix anything because I CANT INSTALL them. I download them and it errors out every time I try to install the service pack updates. I go back to prior retore points to no avail.

My Dell Dock dissapears about once a week, sidebar does whatever the heck it wants to and trying to get my finger swipe driver to install is immpossible.

I'm not a tech guru but not an idiot either. I just want XP back. I pray "7" lives up to the hype.

I've been using Windows 7 64 RC bit on my Toshiba Qosimo G30 for the last 3 months and it just works. When I had Vista it was a nightmare, took months the get things to work.
Don't upgrade, do a clean install!!!

dude, Im using the WIndows 7 evaluation copy on a Inspiron 9300 (a 4 year old laptop w/ Geforce go 6800, 2.0ghz Centrino processor, 2gbs of Ram) and its amazing how stable it is on an old computer. im pretty sure that it will live up to the hype

I've always liked Vista, I never had any problems with it, and when I had it, I was too lazy too install the service packs, and I still had no problems. I guess I'm just lucky though. But after I built a new rig, I switched over to Windows 7 RC 64-bit, and I freakin love it so far. It's everything that Vista should have been. I'm definitely buying it when it comes out in retail.

it doesnt sound like a vista problem to me, actually it sounds like user error in that you really dont know what you are doing with a computer so reguardless of whether its xp, vista or win7 you are going to have problems. good luck.

"Oh" my digital life (dot) info. Windows 7 is nice!!

I like it alot. The install was a breeze and everything worked. I skipped Vista all together. I think this is a big step for MS. I like a lot of the features and it seems super intuitive. It actually makes OSX seem a little old.

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.

Jingsing57d 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….

S2Killinit57d ago

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

Jingsing57d 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.

Tanktopmaster9257d 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
