Thread: Windows 7, Released Today

It is Eye candy of Vista like the nice and shiny GUI with the speed of XP imo.

Also I have been using 7 from the beta days
I used the beta(the 68xx build)

The RC (build 7100)
And the RTM (build 7600)

And now the retail version is being downloaded.:P

And I dont feel like going back to XP and definitely not vista.

7 rules unless you like Linux.

Wow, i'm up for buying Win 7 Home Premium for sure then! I was paying $199 to get it shipped from US through a friend. I would gladly support Microsoft India.

Also check out . There appears to be 40% discount for present users of window98 vista users etc will give Link later.
read in Oneindia web site.
Sorry. will get English version later.
This web site is in TAMIL Language.

Windows 7 launched in India ,விண்டோஸ் - 7 விலை ரூ.11,799! - Oneindia Tamil

Wow a 40 percent discount would make me more inclined to buy it. I talked to an eBay seller and he is selling the Win7 Home Premium for Rs.7100. This is the proper boxed version, not the OEM. And he said i have to preorder it now, delivery is around November 20th. That sucks big time!

guys u have glad to know that i am using windows 7 from today via torrent . i have only 512 of ram and having 128 mb of graphic card . and its works finely [better den vista : i uses it previously ]
so....whats up download and install yaar...

+ as all core 2 duo CPU are 64 bit , i will say just install windows 7 64 bit to have an added advantage in terms of stability.

Try it atleast once and you will love it

Speaking of Vista, i never had any problems , neither i found it resource hungry. It too fits my bill.

Are you sure coz mine is 32bit, core2duo.. How do you check it?

well i am looking forward on it..since the time i have known about it last year1 and now at last i can get a glimpse or maybe possibly by this new OS..

Drivers are really too easy to obtain with this OS. I like it and I really don't need to abuse my dvd drive to put in those cd drivers for each of my pc addons.

I'm just having problems with my tv tuner.. it has trouble timeshifting, only with the audio part, unable to mute a certain channel of sound.
7 is just awesome! all my old skl games are working well (especially after a compatibility update from MS, without any noticeable drop in framerate from xp)..

EDIT:
and yes apparently the airtel 110bx1 router is having problems with upnp with 7.... i had to disable upnp n dhcp for some peace of mind.. maybe a firmware update is required but its working fine with disabling these 2 features.

Windows server is fast but it does not support some software still now

windows server is available only for x64 bit

& if any of you are student & have .edu extension with your email (persional email) then you will get windows 7 in $30
