Windows 7

I bought it a few weeks ago my friend works for microsoft....i love it, its soooo much better then vista, just think vista, but cleaned up faster,quicker, load times are faster, start up is faster, task bar is great, the upgrade will work just fine for you cause u can keep all your files....i went with the full version just to clean my computer. 7 takes some getting used to cause its got stuff that windows has never had before, i suggest u take time on Microsoft website to read the tutorials they teach alot about the os and when u know how to do stuff after that it makes it all that much better....i love the desk top gadgets lol even has a steam desk top gadget.....all in all 10/10 mac has good competition now, 7 is less of what we dont need and more of what we want....go buy it you wont be disappointed....speed of xp with the functionality of a mac....vista is garbage compared to windows 7 go with a full copy the upgrade is only good for 1 computer, full install is good for 2

I liked Vista (no matter how much people bashed on it) but w7 is better. I've been using the beta since Feb. and loved it so much that i wiped vista completely off my HDD and used w7 as my primary OS. I still have a copy of the beta if you want to try it out (RTM beta keys are still good til March '10).

FYI i've always found that a clean install is far far better than the upgrade. Maybe they've cleaned it up with w7, but even w/vista the OS did a shitty job of installing and would constantly fuck up/BSOD.

I'll put it like this....Think of Windows XP as Windows 98, Windows Vista as Windows ME, and Windows XP as Windows 7.

98 was good, real good, but when ME came along it sucked so much and was so bugged barely anyone liked it....But then came XP. At the time the requirements were a little high for some people to use at full speed, but it would be the top (Windows) OS for the next 5 years.
