i tell it to you this way..ive used WinXP for 6 years... i installed the RC 7100 as Dual-Boot... and was blown away..now i upgraded to build 7229...and wow, Windows 7 is simply amazing...when it comes out im buying Ultimate... Microsoft really made a great OS... Its better than Vista in many ways and better than XP aswell... just go for it and see yourself! i didnt believe it before too, but now...just sweet
XP didn't have multi core support full stop since they weren't around then.
Processors were still in Mhz rather than Ghz never mind multi core support. And as for the formidable gui of xp I'm talking native to the os and not 3rd party software.
Oh rehael, there's probably no way that you can really be convinced, so this is just a game, but from the moment you start to install you will realize there's something different from the tired unhelpful MS that you are used to.
What about
- dialog boxes written in plain English (for English speakers at least)(no one mentions that), or
- Search in the start/orb menu so arcane Control Panel apps are a cinch to find, or
- desktop window tricks (full screen, half screen, show desktop which you start by laughing at and end up using all the time, or
- a file manager which really is more usable, better designed (design as in thought-out), looks better and where unzipping, unraring, burning, burning images are seamless.
Leave the rest for the others.
it can run on 512mb RAM, 2.0 intel celeron on a jetway 2001-2003 motherboard. and still faster snappier than xp in the same machine. so yea. :) aeroless but still has the other features ;D
I got it running on P3 with 256 ram and integrated gfx on an old system I had in the shed. Didn't think it would but it did.
