Disappointed, satisfied? Thoughts about RTM...

[masterB]

I'm also very satisfied with it, BUT it still has a lot of issues.
For example it handles the internet connections on a very weird way, like here, here and here.

hmm i don't have problems w/ connection. even since 7100

My wireless works good and I have the driver updated through windows update.

Call me fool if you want to, but I´m happy with RC build 7100. I´ve decided not to upgrade to 7600, my next upgrade will happen on October 22nd.

Since I got my first PC (IBM 5150) September 1983 I´ve gone through all versions of MS-DOS and Windows. Now I feel this is it; this is what I have been waiting, the way computer should be used. RC build 7100, which I installed 5 weeks ago, is and has been the first Windows for me completely without problems. All drivers found, systems working, not a single issue*, not a single crash or BSOD. It´s fast, reliable, nice looking, easy to modify to meet my needs.

(* This was not so big issue and anyway it is now solved)

Edit: For those interested the mentioned IBM PC Model 5150 had a 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 processor, 256 kB memory, no HD and it used 5¼-inch diskettes which in the beginning could store 180 kB (later 1.2 MB). 16 colors, 320 * 200 display. Using a bit Internet I found out that the price then in Finland, 24 000 Finnish Marks, would be about €8 000 (£6 900 or $11 300) in todays money. I remember my quite a good monthly salary was then about 2 500 Finnish marks before taxes, so to get my first PC I had to use almost 10 months gross income.

I am also happy with Windows7, I really did not have any problems besides needing drivers for my printer, the rest was always found by windows update.

LOVIN IT.

I am also very happy/satisfied with Windows7. Head and shoulders above vista. Using it as primary OS. Really appreciate the fast start up/shutdown. Vista drove me crazy at times. Windows 7, very fast and very stable.

 

[KazeNoKoe23]

Everything I expected and more. As close to a perfect OS as there is currently.

Same here.

Not happy with it personally. I feel far too restricted by all of these horrible security "features."

Going to switch to XP/Ubuntu dual boot.

I won't be happy until punkbuster works with the RTM.

 

[Jverse]

I am very pleased with this release of an OS. Microsoft finally got something right, they listened to the community for the most part.

I have a few glitches with my video cards but I run dual and triple SLI so it is expected. Other than those hickups I run fairly solid. My 2 Precision M4300 run like a dream and I was able to run some demo's at work flawlessly.

Overall, I can't complain. It's a great OS. It would be better if they would fix the damn desktop refresh bug though.

+1 Agreed. I had about 12GB of space that I could not freaking find out where it was lol...it ended up being on my desktop..I was like Ummmm..theres nothing on my desktop but icons..then I refreshed..Ahhhh..there you are you SOB.

 

[grimreaper]

I'll post an update once I install this RTM tomorrow...got to back up a few files
A very exciting moment!!
From earlier builds I installed, I guess I was lucky never really experienced anything major from builds 7100 and up, except one....can't remember now...damn lol

 

[ThaiAm]

In general I like it. I am however perplexed that the RTM did not fix the problem with Microsft''s own webcam software/drivers. Hard for any critisism from Microsoft about vendors not getting their act together when their own product is not taken care of in the release.

I believe their just holding out by submitting a driver through Windows Update for it before GA...now if they don't get a working driver out by then...well...they should practice what they preach...

I like it a lot but as said earlier there are still issues which i never had with 7127 build. Punkbuster for one and now some games with other game copy protection also have issues. Hope it gets fixed in some way

If just a select few of games are having issues...it might be the game's developers and not Windows. Check with them also periodically to see if they fix issues themselves
