Is it better than Vista 64?
it's perfectly stable, i haven't run into a single problem as far as freezing, automatically rebooting, BSOD, etc.How stable is this version?
How "finished" is this version?
Can you duel boot with it?
How compatiable with games is it?
You won't need to install a single driver manually.haha awesome response. Sets my mind at ease.
Couple more questions come to mind.
Drivers? Like ATi, motherboard etc are all they uptodate/work on 7?
And how would you duel boot with Vista? I use to use Vistaboot something or other with Vista and XP, is there anything different with 7?
Oh and how much space should I assign its partition lol?
Cheers
Benchmarks are based on hardware, not software.Ok.. Sounds good. Cant wait to give it a try... Anyone done any benchmarks on it compared to Vista? Like gaming bench marks etc?
False.You will not like the WMP12 on 7:
The EQ is very hard to get to.... you have to go to the view bar>now playing>show enhancements then go to the now playing mode>click on this wierld arrow like icon> then you can pop up the EQ
Ever heard of a media keyboard?also they got rid of the mini taskbar player! this was the biggest blow to me! I use it alot when photoshopping and just everyday stuff. they replaced it with a babied down jump list thing that does nothing but tasks I dont do in quick mode. this is globally too.
wonder if there is gonna be a hack for that. that kills productivity becuase to switch a song or adjust seek/volume/etc you have to open the player back up and switch songs loosing time and concentration!
yes but the keyboard cant tell you what the name of the song is
and also they ditched it for jump lists that only a few people use. the miniplayer is awesome since it is less distracting for photoshop work.
What do I need to know about this?
Is it better than Vista 64?
Yes its faster and slightly more reliable imo
How stable is this version?
Ive not had any major problems so far,Ive had 1 Appcrash which my system is notorius for in Vista too
How "finished" is this version?
hmm from BETA 7 it was alot better that the state Vista in now so i think its ready now
Can you duel boot with it?
I should say so,just create some partitions and then install the os onto that
How compatiable with games is it?
All of my games run on it without any hastle,i think if your games worked in Vista then they should work in 7 as its basicly vista anyway but improved

What in the world are you talking about?duel booting like any windows is, that windows 7 has to be on 1 partition and vista on another. They can't be running on the same partition of a hd.
All sounds good, now just to get my build done.
I read up on duel booting Vista and 7, it seems you install Vista first making a partition for 7 too. Then install 7 and click custom and choose that partition and it should then (when finished) bring up a Vista/7 boot option without anything else. Sweet.
