*Official * Windows 7 Thread

Amazing that so far this has seen more praise than damning, even XP received a lot of critical attention before its release. Maybe MS will take the hint and make their future OSs have a public Beta.
 
I finally got windows 7 to work with my gx2 and now I am going to install some games and see if those run. So far I am pretty impressed with how things are working, though I haven't done much yet.

A major issue I've heard complaints about is when people try to make backup files and have to copy files one by one.

UPDATE: Once I finally had to reboot for some other drivers and stuff I took the opportunity to take out the older card, and once again, my GX2 doesn't work. Does anyone know why I need the 5500FX for my GX2 to work?

I really like that bar as well, from what i understand they call it the super bar now, instead of a task bar. Well thats what Microsoft's site said anyways. Great improvement over XP
 
could i create a separate partition on a hard drive and install windows 7 to that partition? how would that work, would i have to select which OS to boot when i turn the computer on?
 
just installed on an hp laptop with an AMD turion and 1gb RAM. it is very responsive and very intuitive, i really like it so far

Yeah, you can do that. Create a separate partition (at least 30 gigs), install Windows 7 and 7 will create a boot menu.
 
pretty cool, except for some minor glitches(so far) such as the blue screen of death when i installed kaspersky internet security, so i just put free avg on. I bench marked with xp and than windows 7 with 3dmark06 and i only lost around 100 points but that could be, because i didn't have the card tuned since catalyst wont install, keep in mind i have 3 gb of ram, Seems promising though
 
never got to download it. From what I read, it should be Vista: Comeback :P

Lets hope everything is NOT like vista started...
 
I know it finishes tomorrow, but what time like 23:59? or something
Im 34% through download, It should be dl'd by then anyways!

Atleast you can activate it anytime before august 09, just you gotta get your product key before then :)
