My Issues with Windows 7

I will reply to the rest later... busy day today.

- It's probably not really worth it. There are too many people here that no matter what you say, simply won't be able to take criticism about Win 7.

Whew, I said a lot... I'll add some more later...

- Damn zzz2496, that was a long post! I think you've said enough! lol.. if people still can't understand why all this stuff holds true, there really isn't anything else you can say that they will understand.

This is a really interesting thread, a lot of the problem I was actually going to complain about, were brought up in here. I hope that even with all the disagreement, this thread will still stay open.

It's good to be able to see both sides of the story.

You two obviously have issues that the rest of us don't.

Wasn't it Phil Collins who sang both sides of the story?

One thing to keep in mind though people is if you go back to the days when XP was of sevens' age(new) then you will see xp was in quite a bad way and was no where near as complete as what seven is. It took a service pack to straighten it out. People were reluctant to make the switch from 2000 to xp.

Windows seven is still very very young and when you consider all that is to be considered then you will find its far more advanced, funtional and stable than any os this early in life..

Cheers....

I got XP from the very first, right after Beta, and it was OK, just like Windows 2000 before it. I don't see the "bad" you mentioned... At that time I was taking the "Installing, Configuring, and Administering Windows Client XP Pro class".

Doesn't this depend on your PC? If you own a printer Windows 95 loved to work with, then obviously 7 most likely isn't for you. If, like I did, you are about to build a PC solely for gaming, then 7 is perfect.

Pardon me?

No one is saying about hardware compatibility... So I don't understand this post...

Ok,, well,, some of us praise 7 simply because,

yes, there are some faults and issues, but they really are minor issues.
I don't have any problems playing any games, or using any software. It's perfect.

And a far cry from XP and Vista. So, 7 does in fact, "In My Opinion", deserve every bit of praise that it gets.
It is a very stable, solid, system that is quite polished out of the gate, that still needs some tweaking with service packs and updates, but that should be a given. Over all, for an initial Release of an OS? Very solid.

However, yes, it is a polished and updated version of Vista. There is no telling that this could have been done with a service pack, but still. Very worth the upgrade from XP or Vista to 7. And deserves the praise it gets.

In My Opinion.

But then there are facts, which I won't go into.

I found XP very stable and solid and never had any issues with it and it performed better in every way over 98se. Vista I also found fine other then it was a big bloated mess and I need to upgrade to at least 4gb of ram in order for it to be useable for me. Windows 7 is great in many ways but I personally hate the UI and find the lack of options a big step backwards.

I have also been with this since Windows 3.1. I kinda miss my 486DX33...
