Theologian in Training Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 [Geekspeak]Much improved from Vista, probably what Vista should have been from the beginning. IE 8 takes some getting used to, all the drivers were found, except my Nvidia card (used Vista's worked fine) A lot "snappier" than Vista and programs actually load quickly. The CPU load is lessened (got a monitor) and the memory is less taxed. The ISO was easy to create, though I could only use it from within Vista rather than booting from the DVD itself. You need to register if you want to try, they are letting people give it a shot for free until later on in January. All in all, much improved from Vista. Looks a lot like Vista with a few changes, but the response time with programs and the better performance is noticeable I partitioned a drive (not using it as my primary OS) with Vista. Surprisingly, their partition manager is not half bad...score 1 for Vista...only 1 Give it a shot while you can [url="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/"]http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/[/url] [/Geekspeak] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Just not an "lol" fan. It bothers me. But I think I get the message in the name. You can make fun of my name, too, but we both know how cool it is, so it's a hollow gesture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
