Seven or XP?

[Okran]

7 due to:

- DirectX10
- I can use my PC as soon as it is in Windows
- Right click on apps for frequent lists saves time
- By default it looks much better
- Mini preview screens that popup are better for navigating
- Quicker to update games

Good reasons all

Past couple of days, I have been cleaning some old junk laptops.
Junk in the fact that Windows XP takes for ever and ever to get on the internet with 256MB mem, 30 GB HDD, and Vista will not even install.

Just for giggles and tickles, I tried to install Win7.
first system is
IBM Thinkpad A22m.

Intel Pentium III 850MHz CPU
256MB RAM Memory
30GB Hard Drive
Modem & NIC port
1 USB ports
2 PCMCIA ports
CD-ROM drive

Win7 Lite version fits on CD. installs perfectly, access to A22M drivers via the old CD, installed, all items came up flashed and installed. NO
PROBLEM. installed a Linksys Wireless adapter. would not work with XP, or Vista, not enough memory available.

Way to go... Windows 7 turns it from JUNK to a HOT SELLER.
Internet ready and Fassssssssssssssssster than a speeding bullet.
No Question Windows 7, over XP and Vista.

Windows 7 is far more reliable than XP was and is much faster in pretty much every area. Not to mention all of the things in 7 that make it easier and faster to use than XP. As if that wasn't enough it has better support for many things XP did not.

Using XP after 7 is released would be like going back to 98SE from XP now.

So true, been using XP for as long as I can remember, still use it extensively as main sys, I'll wait for the pre-order to come around before I go entirely 7. I do have another sys running 7 (7100) in 64bit, and am happy with it, runs fine. I havent thoroughly tested the appz I use on XP, though some wont work due to other reasons.

Using XP after 7 is released would be like going back to 98SE from XP now.

Thats funny, though alot will stick with XP just to wait until smoke clears, in this case it wont have to...

You mean DirectX 11. Win7 comes packages with version 11. Which will also soon be available to Vista but not XP.

Eventhough I hate XP and wish it would die...I still think that Microsoft should drop DX10 to XP users and let Vista users have DX11...Hand-Me-Downs here in their OSs

Why don't you stop "beating-around-the-bush",

and tell us how you really feel ?

(No NRs, please...)

How I really feel? I would love to take every computer running XP (not in dual boot) and every disc with XP on it and stack them in a pile. I would then pour the gas to it and watch it go boom when I toss a match. Honestly XP...JUST DIE
