XP was great but ill take 7 over it any day.

CptBach6038d ago

Any links for vista vs windows 7 comparison?

a_squirrel6038d ago

don't even bother with getting vista if 7 is out.

I have 7, and it's the 'What vista should have been'

FragMnTagM6038d ago

Somebody has a broken sarcasm detector. His comment was most assuredly sarcastic. If not, then well... I dunno.

I dual boot currently and there's a huge difference between the two in terms of UI, speed, smoothness of transitions, and Windows 7 is just sexy :D

crazy250006038d ago

But I guarantee you that if you actually use both OS's, you will notice that Windows 7 is unmatched.

the love Windows 7 is getting =) not saying i dont like it but normally these articles are filled with biased comments.

on topic:
i agree windows 7 is really nice, also currently using Vista on my laptop which i will upgrade when i dont have so much uni work to do on it =(

@ anyone hating on Windows 7.
yes it takes more memory etc to run then XP but HONESTLY who who still uses 512mb of ram anymore? especially when 1gb costs about £9-£14 now (source - ebuyer.com)

I'm also running a dual boot with XP on one partition and Windows 7 on another. I'll let it be said that XP is rarely ever used. Windows 7 is fast, stable, compatible and improves upon XP in nearly every way. I don't bother gaming in XP simply because I don't notice a big improvement in framerates. I'm playing Dragon Age: Origins of late and I tried it in both OS's and it ran equally well in both. Not to mention that XP looks fugly and, quite frankly, old in comparison, whereas Windows 7 takes advantage of my hardware and runs so fast and smooth. I think I'm in love; not with Microsoft, but with a well designed product that the public can finally rally behind.

XP was tolerable, Vista was horrible, 7 is great.

There's not much of a quality gap between Windows and Mac OSX Snow Leopard now, which says a lot.

masterg6038d ago

Especially if you take into consideration that 90% of the stuff you can do on a PC you can not do on a Mac.

NaiNaiNai6038d ago

Actually you can only do about 60% of the stuff on mac. You know without having to emulate it and crash half the time.

FragMnTagM6038d ago

What are you on about? Must not have read the article...

darkequitus6036d ago (Edited 6036d ago )

I have Windows 64bit on my HTC; 32bit on my iMac (only got snow leopard for the bootcamp drivers, lol).
Now, I just have to get vista off my laptop. MS have hit the bullseye with this one.

Edit. I like the fact WMP can play .mts file straight off my HD camcorder

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.

Jingsing22d 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.

Tanktopmaster9222d ago

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

S2Killinit22d ago

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

Jingsing22d 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.

Tanktopmaster9222d 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
