Fair enough... I might have completely misread the situation here...
No worries at all, thanks for clearing that up for me!

look, let’s just move past that whole thing about hearing certain sounds or whatever...
I know people might think I'm just being difficult here, but I actually have a very clear idea of what I'm talking about and why I'm bringing this up...

We already went down the rabbit hole regarding those specific audio issues in a completely different thread...

To put it simply... Noah Miller6 is essentially acting as a beta tester for Windows 7. He's using the OS daily and getting all those official updates that your typical user—the ones grabbing a version off a random torrent site—never even sees, trust me on that one...

Are you talking about updates like these? . .

For what it's worth, I'm running Beta 7000 of Windows 7, which I "illegally" grabbed from a torrent site... even though Microsoft actually had the beta versions available right on their own website.

Seriously, man...
Just take a second to scroll back through this thread starting from the very first post.......... once you've actually caught up, then feel free to jump in......
I know exactly why I put this post together in the first place, and it’s things like Google and the rest of the old-school tech veterans already understand perfectly.

No hard feelings whatsoever!!!
Can we just agree on that??
If you truly understood the core of what's happening here, you'd make the effort to read everything thoroughly, so let's not rush into posting before you're fully up to speed.....

Hey, no offense intended . . . but if you think that simply reading through posts . . . is going to magically make me hear weird noises every time I open a window . . . or suddenly make me change my mind about taking a beta key . . . then you might be missing the point of what we're actually discussing . . . fair enough . . . xD

You can come talk to me once you experience this kind of thing on Vista.

Just take a look at that red circle; I mean, when Vista starts hogging 3% of the CPU just sitting there, I’m ready to throw my hands up in frustration!

At this point, there really isn't much left to debate regarding the performance gap between Vista and Windows 7.👍👍

If you ask me...
memory management is the bigger issue here. Back in the day, Vista would just absolutely devour all your RAM. Of course, Windows 7 isn't perfect either—it can still hit that 100% usage wall if the processor gets overwhelmed.

I have my doubts, though... Honestly, I suspect the older crowd is just going to cling to XP forever, and the younger generation probably won't have the extra cash lying around anyway. I’m really not sure what the price tag is going to look like, but if it turns out to be a total headache like Vista did back in $667, I’d much rather put that money toward a new GPU or something else useful. Let's face it: once Windows 7 officially hits the shelves, everyone is just going to head straight to a torrent site and grab it for free.
