Yeah, I ran windows 7 for a little while but I found that most of the applications I needed for work wouldn't run on it even in compatibility modes. It ran really fast on an SSD primary, ran all my games pretty well, but I took if off and put XP x64 since everything I need runs right.
Lately I tend to use portable applications and have either hacked them myself or picked up versions of "almost" everything I use on a regular basis. I've come to the conclusion that there is no possible need for all the bloatware that most of the programs are turning into, and especially no need for a bunch of crap being written to the registry whenever software is loaded. <end rant> :) lopaka --- On Tue, 4/28/09, FORC5 <[email protected]> wrote: From: FORC5 <[email protected]> Subject: [H] Windows 7 ? To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, April 28, 2009, 7:18 PM Been messing with Windows 7 a little for a month or so, not too bad I must say. Wanted to see how it handled change so I plugged the drive into a different computer, was very impressed with the repair/restore screen it takes me too other then the fact it would not repair. I suppose if it was on the same hw the repair would have been fine. Booted to the cd and attempted a repair, same result. I suppose we are not allowed to change MB's in MS's future, huh ? But this is a pre release. Have not done this with Vista, I would guess the same result but I wonder if Vista has this boot to repair option without using the disk ( like needed with XP ) This will be tested soon, server to be updated. If Vista will not repair or run I think XP64 or Server 2003 is in order to replace it. strange thing though, drive was c: in other box but saw the OS ( after driver install, OLD hw) it saw the os on E: Have no idea why. only drive in system. Only thing I can think of it is a older system with two PATA channels and supposed it was picking up E ( would be the logical 4th drive) Old Asus a7n8x deluxe, still runs the 3200 barton like a top and does OK with Vista and 2 gig ram other then I have been plagued with BSOD's, suspect Vista does not like the old HW. But it did run fine for a very long time. any one else playing with 7 ( not 7 of 9 ) :-D fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- In war there is no substitute for victory.
