Anyone updating to Windows 7?

My better half is returning to college this year so I went with her to the bookstore on campus yesterday. While we were there I went to the campus store and found that she could buy a student copy of Windows 7 Ultimate for $50. What was better is that she could buy one copy of 32bit and one of 64bit for $100 total! That's something like $450 worth of software. :thumb: My laptop had Vista 32bit on it but my computer is actually a 64bit machine. I upgraded to the 64bit software and this thing rocks. I lost all my previous data on the computer during the installation but I had backed it up to an external drive before doing the upgrade. Buying a new hard drive would have been so much easier and saved a lot of time but I'm happy with the final results. It will take some time getting used to the new format but I would highly recommend the upgrade to anyone that has access to buy it at the student union. :smile:

i have windows 7. first off when using HP tuners the drivers tha come in the disk arent readable. you have to go to their site and DL their new drivers. besides that i have no issues so far with HP and win 7.

i like win 7 alot now vs my XP.

Ive had no issues with the HP Tuners drivers off the cd in Win7, just says their unsigned like they always have been. Guess thats my luck. :)

Win 7 > Vista in mem usage and stability by far.

well one thing to mentioned my driver CD is from 06 its an older copy which might of been the issue

I had the beta version of Windows 7 and tried it on our DVR computer , the one we use to record shows on in the living room , crashed several times , so gave up on it , might try the retail version , maybe , kind of hard to get me motivated about Windows 7 .
Rumor is Google is set to , and has already , come out with Android for netbooks , watch out MS , Google has eyes for you (games will play on Android in a few months) .
I have the new Moto Driod and love it .

Google is going to take over the world sooner or later.. wave, android, chrome OS..

I am going to be doing the windows 7 migration at work sooner or later

I LOVE windows 7. It's got the pretty looks of vista, but the nice speed and reliability of XP. :luv:

Vista Sux! Windows 7 FTW. If you have vista dont hesitate to upgrade.

windows 7 is great but like ducky said

I'd love to upgrade to Windows 7, but I need to do a total overhaul on my turd of a computer (This thing barely runs XP). I'm also thinking of stepping up to an SSD (Solid State) but they're $$$$$ for anything over 32GB.

love windows 7 over vista

god i hope not. win7 is proly the best OS ive ever used.

Yeah Win7 is amazing, just by seeing what google is doing and how fast they are doing it is why I say that, I mean im not really serious its just, they are taking some serious steps in technology. You should listen to TWIG or TWIT. Damn good podcasts.

Windows 7 is great, my parents have it on their new computer, works awesome and very user friendly.

thats a VERY good point!
im hoping MS takes some queues from them and steps up quickly.
I have Vista on my lappy now, and im LOVING vista.. gotta know how to work with it to make it work fast.. its why i love Win7 even more. less to have to tweak on it.. next week my lappy gets the 7 upgrade!

Just finished last night doing my personal laptop to 7. LOVE IT! Deleted both partitions and started from scratch with the HP. Boots up so quick. Love starting fresh.

Fresh start is always good but I went ahead and did a dual boot with Easeus Partition Master so I have both XP and 7 running on my desktop. Laptop got a clean install from Vista and runs great now. For those still in school you can go to Students get Windows 7 for $64.95 to buy it. If you are taking computer classes there is also MSDNAA and www.Dreamspark.com. I went ahead and downloaded 2 extra Win 7 licenses and every version of Vista, XP SP1,2,3, Server, SQL and Expressions just because I could. Alot of software for just a Security + class. Hope that helps if you didn't know about it.

Is windows finally catching up with mac reliability ahaha we will see in time.

uh oh another apple fan boi
