    Here's a more recent desktop pic.


    To be fair, I haven't installed the retail version of Vista on this pc. I've only installed the last beta version of Vista Ultimate and XP Home. My impression of Windows 7 is that the desktop is very responsive. It easily matched XP Home and that's having Aero features fully enabled. The Vista beta I tried before needed some compromises.

    It's speedy alright. I do have some gripes. Personally, I think MS should've kept the classic Start Menu as an option. Win7's Taskbar and Start Menu seems much less functional than in previous versions of Windows. The Start Menu doesn't expand much anymore. I now have to scroll around which I dislike.

    Overall, I like the responsiveness. Although I wish MS kept most of Vista's features, I'd still buy Win7 when it's released.

    Windows 7 is basically Vista R2, and Microsoft says anything that runs on Vista will run on 7. So most likely anything the runs on 7 will run on Vista too.

    That's if you can actually get Vista to run... ...I've heard that it's a vast improvement in stability and speed... think it'll run on next-gen Netbooks?

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    Honestly, he's fine. Vista is still Microsoft's latest stable release of Windows. He doesnt have to worry about getting another operating system. A lot of people still use XP and prefer it to vista. There is really a great deal of freedom with PC's. It is all still compatible, so nothing to worry about it. Technically windows 7 isn't released yet, only the beta, windows 7 is just a Beta version for people to test out if he choice to switch. It just depends on what he need from a computer, he's own preferences and the technical specifications that differ from each OS.

    On 1gb ram, it runs fantastic on vista, mine is 3gb. It's not the ram that really matters tough, when it comes to Vista. I noticed that vista ran much faster when I upgraded my video card from a 128 mb to a 512mb video card.... Because it is a more graphics intensive OS...the more memory on the video card, the faster the graphics render and load. Therefore, making the OS appear faster. But, having more RAM doesn't hurt either...

    Well, I'm back to Win 7 (RC Build 7100). MS kept emailing me about it plus an expiration date of June 1, 2010 is hard to ignore.

    you could get it free with your windows live free account or you can get it on *******s. I'd prefer mininova, basta read the user's comments before downloading...

    Some notes on installation of Win 7 RC......

    04:30 pm - Booted with Win 7 cd, did a quick format, expanded/copied files to hard drive

    04:42 pm - Reboot

    04:45 pm - Completed install, reboot

    04:46 pm - Setup continued

    04:48 pm - First boot to desktop

    04:55 pm - All done.

    I spend the next 30-40 minutes downloading/installing any latest drivers, apps, and games.

    Not bad.

    The copy issue where no progress shows has been fixed along with the slowdown issue. All the gadgets work.

    The issue with Symantec software has also been fixed.

    Looks good to me.

    As for external devices.......

    It took a bit to find my Belkin USB WiFi G adapter. But, it was found and works. Win 7 also found/installed drivers (printing and scanning) for my old HP 4100 series printer minus all that crap that came with the HP cd.

    Also, I used a DVD-RW disc to copy the Win 7 iso image to and it worked great. No wasted DVD-R.

    Just about the only driver I installed myself was the latest 3rd-party nVidia GF8xxx driver in lieu of the WHQL one used by Win 7.
