windows 7 is a good competiter to xp.

but in performace xp is a little bit better.

i am running beta version of 7 on my desky... somethings have changed after i logged it in my system...

1st: cannot read CDs of specific types... like the Pirated ones, windows installers etc..
2nd: PC gets automatically closed by itself, without any supervision error message, no blue screen of thrill etc. just sleeps and you have to restart it again... though the problem arised after i changed O.S to windows 7 from former vista...
3rd: Nokia edge modem fails after first 5 minutes of running.. remains busy(even after i have taken out the usb wire out of the jack)...
4th: cannot check for online troubleshooters...
5th: sometimes, when i open the compy, the windows start up sucks my time, for which i have to restart, go into start windows in safe mode blah blah blah, and when everything is installing there , i have to restart in mid and start windows normally...

life sucks... had been windows be free like the Ubuntu ones. i would have definetly donated for MS... thats a crap for money, which i virtually paid them in mind..

Yes. Plz tell me the version No of windows 7. I think Beta is having this kind of behaviour. Kindly upgrade to the latest version of windows 7. I mean fresh install. Beta version cant be upgraded to latest windows 7 out there because of major changes.

same ....just download latest windows 7 RTM. also use vista drivers if you have any issues. Still, if you have any issues use latest nokia software for windows 7 or for vista. even if this does not works then try compatibility mode.


Having used Windows 7 from beta to the latest Windows 7 Buld 7100 , i have not faced even a single problem. Not even any kind of application compatibility.

howeva except the closing automatically, and the optical disk prob, i see windows 7 a very interactive version of windows..
atleast its better than my former black vista screen, they give you atleast nice pics of grand canyon as the wallpaper..

Thats the only good thing you found in Windows 7 ?

Beta version has expired long back. Try the Release to Manufacturing (RTM) version. It is available on torrents.

It is better to use XP as Vista is lousy with lots of safety controls. You don't feel free using Vista.

I tried with Vista in the PC too but later again I switched it back to XP.

There is not much difference between SP2 and SP3.

Wait for Windows7. It is going to be a hit. I tried beta and it is fine and better than XP and Vista.

It's true Windows7 is a great os from MS. Use it yaar.....
otherwise XP SP3

I think vista is a waste......................:sneaky2:

i also have lenovo laptop with Vista Home Premium installed but its slower then xp that i have installed in my desktop.


windows 7 is great too.as i said earlier windows 7 is tough competitor for xp.

For me,if XP sp3 vs Vista sp2 vs Windows 7 RC then results are:

BY VISUALS
1st- Windows 7 RC
2nd- Windows Vista SP2
3rd- Windows XP SP3


BY PERFORMANCE
1st- Windows XP SP3
2nd- Windows 7 RC
3rd- Windows Vista SP2

BY VISUALS+PERFORMANCE
1st- Windows 7 RC
2nd- Windows XP SP3
3rd- Windows Vista SP2

U all too give ur experiences!

its 10/10 for windows 7
windows XP is history. Infact Vista is also awesome the only problem is you need a good system.

xp is older but more familier to many people and for begineers too.

cauz they dont have proper hardware to run and second they dont turn off system restore which is of no use to normal user and eats lots of memory and diskspace.

Vista had a bit of compatibility issues which seems to be ironed out in Win 7.

sometimes system restore is very useful......
sometimes when there is a problem with windows, system restore saves lots of time than reinstalling windows........

vista is a major disaster even windows accepted it with so many bugs and so much power usage for so little is just astonishing that they released it
if u wanna go for a operating system go for "windows 7" its almost vista with no bugs and works way faster

Vista had many network prob... in my opinin all OS of my crow soft had excellent bugs...

Elesewhere Mr Choudhary mentioned that Windows7 is released today
then better go for it. winXP may slowly be phased out with no further support.
