AnyOne tried Windows7

[roberto_minosa]

They should've ditched the "classes" of Windows. Plain Professional and Home editions are enough like on XP.

i've been using windows 7 rc build 7100 for over a month.. nakakapanibago nung umpisa but i'm getting used to it now. much lighter at quicker than vista..

i'm also thinking of installing this on my desktop pc para parehong win7 na. hanggang july 31 lang "daw" kasi pwede gamitin yung legit keys. hope this will be as solid as xp pro..

Anyone knows where I can buy a legit copy of Windows 7 locally? Or should I just go to the dark side, takot ko lang if I do I will never be able to get updates and thus compromising the security of my PC later...

Windows has been officially launched worldwide. So I guess meron na dyan sa gilmore.. Here in pampanga, its available and eto ung mga price:

WINDOWS 7 HOME BASIC 4,900
WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM 5,700
WINDOWS 7 PRO 9,200
WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 9,900

I'm using the 90 day free version on both of my computers.

I'm not one to impose my beliefs. But, there's always that refreshing feeling (and a clean conscience) knowing you're legit.

Plus, there are a number of nice MS downloads available (with valid WGA) one of which is MS Security Essentials. It rivals AVG for lightness of resources/transparency.

Anyway, my 32-bit Win 7 RC 1 is good until March 2010 although I've already ordered the 64-bit Win 7 Home Premium OEM.

I figure Win 7 plus 8gb ram should be plenty for Win 7 plus one or two Linux OSes running under virtualization/emulation.

Gosh I am not even sure my PC can handle Windows 7. I have a Core Duo 1.6Ghz, 1GB RAM and just an onboard videocard. Pero I plan to buy a new desktop maybe early next year then install Windows 7. I am trying to download the Piratebay version and try it with my current desktop and test drive it kung kaya...

You might need to bump up your ram to 2gb then go with 32-bit Windows 7 (requires 1gb). The max ram 32-bit Windows 7 will use is 3.5gb if you have 4gb of physical ram. That's it. Nothing beyond that amount.

64-bit Windows 7 require 2gb minimum. But, it will recognize beyond 4gb.

If you see advertisements for pc's with 4, 6, 8, or even more ram, they have 64-bit Windows 7.

Oh. Make sure you have a fast hard drive. Win 7 RC still seemed laggy with my Toshiba laptop which has a 4200rpm drive.

Thanks for that advice Jun aka Pekto, very very helpful when I try building a PC next year.

Ano kaya mag 32 bit parin ako or mag 64 bit na. And is using AMD ok? Mas mura kasi eh...

Some people have been running Windows 7 on their netbooks with Intel Atom CPU and Intel950 graphics. Runs well enough based on their reports.

Just upgrade to more RAM.
