Which Windows 7 Version Should You Buy?

Techradar writes:

"Maybe you've tried out the beta or the RC for yourself. You know Windows 7 is worth getting – but which version of Windows 7 should you buy? Isn't it crazy how many different versions there are?

Actually no; this time around, the different versions make sense because each new version contains all the features of the versions beneath them, so there are no irritating tradeoffs."

Preferably the free version that says google, but what can you do.

Darkeyes6111d ago

This is one major thing I love about Apple and the Mac OS... I don't have to be confused of what to get and how much to spend. There should be a one version policy for every OS (a server version is acceptable). Will probably pick up ultimate since i skipped Vista... Haven't upgraded for the past 7-8 years lol (apart from Service packs). But Win 7 seems solid enough.

for me.
Time to say goodbye to XP. :)

No thanks, XP is good enough for me.

Nihilism6111d ago (Edited 6111d ago )

you musn't play games on your pc then, dx9 was old when the ps3/360 came out, now dx11 is coming out, you'll need to upgrade sometime

EDIT:

@ Major_tom

i haven't even seen any dx screens yet, i thought tesselation was just a more effective way to render etc, aka dx11 is a faster miore efficient dx10...

Major_Tom6111d ago

Heh, not from the Dx11 comparison screens I've seen :P.

3sq6111d ago (Edited 6111d ago )

I do play these games on my PC with XP occasionally.

Crysis
Unreal Tournament 3
Left 4 Dead
Mass Effect
Bioshock
Gears of War (But this crap stopped working so I thew it in the garbage can, LOL. That day I swore I'll not buy another product from MS)

So XP still works.

Nihilism6111d ago

i've never played gears but i know the reason it stopped working, there was a game glitch and the 'digital signature' of the game expired about a year ago making the game unplayable, they released a patch to fix it.....oops i guess. Well that's good that you still game on it, but considering xp doesn't have proper multi core support it would be wise to upgrade eventually if your serious about gaming

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.

Jingsing71d 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.

Tanktopmaster9271d ago

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

S2Killinit71d ago

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

Jingsing71d 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.

Tanktopmaster9270d 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
