Windows 7
in Software ·
I figured I'd jump into this thread since we're talking all about the Windows 7 Release Candidate.
I've been running the Windows 7 Release Candidate Build 7100 64 bit since the very day it dropped, and honestly? I have nothing but praise for it. Not a single freeze or a single crash. The speed is just incredible compared to Windows Vista. I mean, Vista runs okay if you're on 64-bit with 4GB of RAM, but this is different.
For the past week, I've been pushing my system with an AMD Turion 64x2 2GHz, 4GB of 800MHz RAM, and ATI graphics. It flies! I've tested AutoCAD and CorelDRAW, and they both run beautifully.
Then there's Archicad 12. I'm using Microsoft Office 7 Enterprise and Nero 8, and everything works flawlessly. No driver issues at all. I even downloaded Music Player 3.5, though it feels a bit slower than Internet Explorer 8. Even in this RC phase, the OS feels like a finished product. They really nailed it with this one. If it's anything like what we expect in the States, it's going to be huge.
I don't get why some people here are struggling with various random builds when the official Windows 7 Release Candidate Build 7100 that Microsoft released works perfectly. 👍👍
