anybody tried windows 7 yet - Pickles - 11-13-2009
I have a certificate for windows 7 but have not downloaded or what ever yet. I'm going to get my computer savy brothers help me.
I've heard both good and bad about it and wonder what you've all heard.

Personally i love it, I'm running home premium 64bit, it's rock solid, and fast.

I've got a copy of Ultimate that I haven't tested yet. Hoping to get to that today. Soooo much to do and soooo little time. lol. I use Linux anyways, I only test/use Windows versions for my job as a PC Tech.

What distribution and version did you try? Some are better than others
And the past 2 years has seen a MAJOR improvement in ease of use in most distros.

Fedora, i've got the latest version dual booted with win 7. Got a big ass book for it too, didn't help much lol.

Fedora isn't good for newbies really. Too much of it is still done "old school".
Try Mandriva I use it even though I'm an advanced Linux user, because WHY do things the hard way if the easy way is available?
Anyways, back to Win7... I'm firing up VMWare right now to install it on.

I went to win 7 straight from xp, was like a revelation for me XD
feature i'm probably using the most is the wallpaper slideshow.
RE: anybody tried windows 7 yet - ralgith - 11-13-2009
heh, I wouldn't use that. Annoying imo. And they have that for XP too, its called Webshots. My friend Carol uses it. Oh sure, its an extra program instead of an integrated feature, but it has the same effect.

Go for it Pickles - you'll like it.
Me, I'm going to go buy an Apple next time around. I might convince Matt to upgrade to W7 just so I know it and can help people who need it.
