N00b to W7 and I likes it, alot!
Hey all,
N00b to W7 as the title says, and I've got to say that I really like it.
Had Vista on my laptop previously and had a lot of problems with FireFox and Chrome crashing on me and not being able to kill either of them and having to do hard reboots.
A few other problems with certain programs here and there, but nothing major but it was the brower problem that made me choose to upgrade as I like to surf a lot and I was having to hard reboot 3-4 times an hour sometimes.
To me it appears that MS haven't changed a lot on the surface, and I must say that I feel pretty comfortable using W7 already.
The whole thing does feel faster than Vista, the boot time, the start up of programs, and a few other things.
The only problem I've come across so far is that I use a 3 Dongle to access the net, and it installed fine, but couldn't get connection, I kept getting the message that 3's program couldn't find a connection.
But then when I installed my T-Mobile Dongle, and used the 3 dongle through the T-Mobile connection software it worked fine.
Infact I think overall I am getting better speeds than I did on Vista too, but I can't say for definate until I've been using it for a few weeks.
Overall I am really happy with my purchase and don't at all feel begrudged that I have paid out for an OS that is pretty similar to the previous version.
But time will tell though as I know from previous experience that after a few months will be the real test!
