Windows 7

To be honest, I never actually owned one
EDIT: I had a 95 on my phone, specifically an N82 😁 which is when I first laid eyes on them 😍

And what am I supposed to say to that? I didn't offer any criticism, so there's no need to immediately jump down my throat calling things "pointless"!🙄
When I mentioned that everything depends on the hardware, I meant that people constantly complain about things like Windows Vista being useless because it’s too demanding or slow. Well, newsflash: it wasn't designed to run on a 0.1GHz processor with 1MB of RAM. That's exactly why you need a slightly more powerful machine—which is why "hardware requirements" are printed right on the box. A computer can be optimized for specific tasks, and for certain jobs, a particular OS is simply the better tool for the trade. That was the whole point.
As for the users, it's the same logic. If you need an OS that wows you with raw speed rather than flashy graphics, you'll probably go with Linux (sure, it has an interface, but it isn't anything special). If you want an OS that impresses you with its "beauty" and unique design, then you grab Windows Vista or Windows 7.
Everyone should just choose whatever they want. Just like how some people will love Windows 7 while others hate it, an OS is only "better" or "worse" depending on what you actually need it to do.
👍
P.S. It's spelled "irrelevant."

Hey everyone, I need some input—should I go ahead and install Windows 7 on my laptop?
I'm currently running Windows Vista, and honestly... I can't say I've been unhappy with it—mostly!

I'm running Windows Vista right now, and honestly... I guess I'm somewhat satisfied with it.

Trust me, don't touch Windows 7 until the full version is actually out, which I think is still about a month away. Just hang tight...

It’s probably not even that month yet.
The RC1 isn't out in the wild either.
If you ask me, I'd say October at the earliest.

Yeah, I was just reading this latest issue of one of our tech journals, and it says they won't be retiring Windows 7 🙂
before the end of the year.

There’s so much misinformation flying around regarding the official release date for Windows 7. Everyone’s out here guessing different dates. I read somewhere it might drop late August, but honestly? Feels like nobody actually knows when 🙄

The last build I managed to grab was 7077, but the latest one out there is 7106. It’s available for download, though the catch is that it's in Chinese. There’s an EN-US language pack floating around on torrent sites that you can install to get 7106 in English, but from what I gather, integrating that language pack isn't exactly meant for the average user. I don't mind waiting, though, so I'll just hang tight until a proper 7106 EN version drops. Word is that 7106 EN might already be out, I just haven't tracked it down yet.
In my opinion, Microsoft has really hit it out of the park with these versions.

That sounds pretty interesting—might actually download it just to see what happens 😁 I'm honestly just curious to see how the whole thing looks and feels

And which website should I head to if I want to download that Windows 7 RC?
Thanks!

Mininova... or something along those lines, just make sure you don't end up flying on the wrong version

What’s actually the difference between 7077 and the RC1 version? I mean—is there even a point in downloading it at all?

So, I’ve run into this annoying little glitch on my Windows 7 setup. Every time I try to listen to some music or watch a video, the playback just stutters out—like, it slows down for about a second every two or three seconds before picking back up again. It’s constant, and honestly, the worst part is it just started happening today out of nowhere.

You might be streaming it over the internet 🙂🙂

Look, I’m not an idiot—I know how a pause button works on the internet.
I’ve tried running stuff through Windows Media Player and even Media Player Classic, and it’s the same deal with both.

Check it out—listen to this on iTunes 🙂

I’m finally going to install it tomorrow... I had originally intended to wait until everything was completely ready, but I suppose I've just grown a bit impatient, so I figured I might as well start cleaning up my PC in the meantime.😁

Anyone actually notice a real difference between build 7057 and 7077? I don't want to waste my damn time downloading everything if it's just going to be the same old stuff under a different name.
