5 May! 5 May! Not much to wait! And I really dont care if its faulty. She's so sexy!

 

[brendanmelanson]

I have it right now. It's not faulty in anyway and believe it or not it works on my five year old desktop better than XP did!

If you haven't noticed the OS has been in Beta for quite some time so the kinks are worked out. They released the new Beta in January of this year. The old beta was released January of 2007 with the codename Vista.

Rofl. How true. It's still version 6.

 

[Ambushed]

I'm looking forward to it! I need to get a new motherboard as I found out pouring beer on it doesn't help.

Does anyone know how much HDD space it is going to use? I didn't like how vista uses 15 GB.

 

[Bodaggit23]

16 GB of available disk space

RC means release candidate i hope ya'll know, but i think they are supposed to release the RC on may 5th to the general public, earlier to msdn subscribers...

If this is true it will be awesome. I wasn't expecting it so soon.
I'll be doing a fresh install I think.

Looks promising, I just hope it doesn't have as much bugs as Vista did.
Is it just me or does Windows 7 look a little like Mac?

Only if it's " your " computer or you get caught and it's someone elses computer.

It's nothing like that. It's basically a revised edition of Vista, but it's lighter
than anything. You can run it on Netbooks with 1.6Ghz Atom CPU's if that
tells you anything.

I've been using it since before the public Beta and it works perfectly.

 

[Andy-]

Yes, I do know that, but the light and transparent taskbar just give me the impression of using Mac.

Anyway, I might be getting Windows 7 in a couple of weeks, based on the reviews, should do just fine.

Yeah true I forgot about that I may look into it but not right now

 

[vinnie107]

I won't be getting it.

After using Ubuntu I have sworn never to buy another windows OS again.

Im looking forwards to Windows 7, the only feature id optimally like, is a deafult taskbar stretch on monitors, rather than paying for apps such as Ultramon...
