Hey! Well, I'm using Vista, I have an issue and I was wondering if you knew how to solve it... Do u know what to do so your WMV files shows the first frame from the video in the icon? I'd be so much easier for me to work with them because I'm making a movie atm.
7's new features are worthless if you ask me.. Its nothing but fancy thumbnails and slower switching around stuff.. The speed optimization is good though, and i think its good for microsoft that alot of people like 7, so they wont have to stick by vistas bad name (even though vista is a fine os!)
I agree, it seems that the only people bashing w7 are the people who haven't actually taken the time to use it. you really can't get a feel for an OS unless you sit down and use it. i've loved my experience with it and even though i liked vista, w7 blows it out of the water. ive installed it on my laptop and now also both of my parents laptops, and it is working like a charm on all 3
@sooBored78 True. I love Windows 7. Microsoft did a really good job on Windows 7. It's as beautiful as Vista (even more beautiful actually) and great to use as XP was.
You need to have aero enabled and to have Aero enabled it requires a compatible graphic card. However, unlike Vista, Microsoft has made the system much less picky. Try going to windows update. Then in go to Personalization in the Control Panel and select Theme. In Theme, select Aero (make sure you click the transparency checkbox)
I always use windows OS. the architecture is really good more than other (for me). this beta version too. currently I'm using this beta W7 beta. I feel more faster than vista
why is it free? is it for a limited time? does it expire? is it a trial offer? come on its microsoft and there's no way they'd let people download anything for FREE...
It is free and expires 1 May 2010 afaik. This makes perfectly sense because Microsoft makes most of its money from OEM and business sales and OEMs and businesses of course don't distribute or use an OS that is beta.
But they get the beta for free in order to test it out, ensure compatibility with their upcoming systems and current environments so that, at the time the final version is released, there's (in the best case) no problems with migrating to the new OS.
The networking capabilities look great. I'm really expanding my system (HP) and I was kind of worried about having to run cables all over the place, great job MS.
It's great they're improving home networking, but she seems to show exmaples of it using windows 7 pc only. I'de like to see home network where xp, vista and win 7 can work just as flowlessly as they've presented. Home users (some if not all) do run multi OS on many computers and laptops as I do.
your telling me.... First install I was shocked at how well things worked in the beta. The simple fact of the slide show wallpaper was feature that made me want to jump up and down with joy. The speed and looks and features where all far better than vista.
Windows 7 is like Windows Xp for its time: MS getting it right. At least relative to Windows as we've come to know it.
Vista was a flop, simply because it came out of the gate with 64-bit driver issues, is a memory hog, and many computers and especially laptops selling with Vista didn't have the memory to run it well.
Windows 7 is still the Vista core, but it's compatibility management and lower "LOOK! GRAPHICS!" factor make it quicker. I like it. Should be a free update for Vista owners.
All PCs bought with a Windows Vista license on or after July 1, 2009 to January 1, 2010 qualify for a free upgrade to Windows 7.However OEM only and OEMs can shorten it.Hope that explains it.Damn i wish I worked at Microsoft and created the ultimate Windows Version but I'm only 12.
Thats pretty dumb what you said windows vista is the bomb,just because you are lazy to customize or look,or just because u are 2 into xp and can't get over the new tech, stop dissing vista, i have a 5 gb comp 64 bit graphics, and vista and runs so fast, and I customized myself,vista is all about you controlling the comp, not the comp you,you type the program to find faster,instead of xp scroll and if you deleted it then u never see it again
ok, so Vista was a flop. Now Windows 7 is coming out, which, is suppose to be "better". I just bought Vista not too long ago; does that mean I get Windows 7 at a discounted price?
You get the update price. But XP users get it too. IMHO those who didn't switch to Vista should not get a discount, or the Vista users should get it even cheaper...
Well, I also bought Vista and I've been happy until Windows 7 came :)
this is true. Since SP1, it's not bad with a few tweaks. No reason to buy or upgrade imho, but no reason to replace if you have vista. Or well, no reason until 7 ;)
Wrong. Microsoft has actually made lots of changes to the kernel.
Mainly speed optimizations but also new features for multi-core support, memory management and so on.
They even included parts of MinWin, but it's not clear why (perhaps it's the beginning of the transition to a new base system).
It is NOT a completely new kernel (like people thought a year ago when they showed MinWin) but it is also NOT the same kernel as the Vista one because there's lots of improvements/changes.
A "new revision" is not the same thing, but you said it was "the same kernel". And that's wrong. It's based on the same kernel, but it is not the same.
Also, I already pointed out that it's wrong to say it's "brand new".
Why? The up button is useless, you can just click on any folder in the adress bar. That lets you even go up multiple folders with just one click and you can directly click on the folder you want to go to.
I think that this fancy look and nothing else would fail to attract customers just as Vista. Although I have computer powerful enough to run Windows Vista, I feel cheated to let my OS eat that amount of RAM and not doing anything useful. I would rather choose Ubuntu Linux, it have all those fancy things, just as this, and maybe nicer, but running on my old PC on only 1GHz and with only 384Mbytes of SD RAM.
gentlemens i really wouldnt mind w7 if they would pay me for my vista ultimate.because of couple of handy quick launch ! bars pay say another 200 e or somethin again.(just another money colection time).how much diference iz there between xp and vista,,,,vista and win 7??? no serios reasons why we should get it!! so id say i chill out vith vista for another 3 years...respect(im sick of that stupid weekly renovation era)
Who are you takling about? I hope not about me...best software are apple & linux. apple is pretty & everything is already set & linux, well if u r a good programmer you can do it your way ( i'm trying to do some stuff : p)
I am sure if you get someone new to computers & give them a PC for an hour & then a Mac for an hour. They would find the PC more accessable. If you want something done quick & easy, you use a PC, if you want something done well & to the point of perfection, you use a Mac
I wanted to see some performance or GUI improvements, I have done most of these using just Rocket Dock, Taskbar Shuffle and a couple of free utils. on Vista.
Yes, it looks good, but will it actually WORK on a daily basis? Isn't this the problem with Microsoft-based software? A presentation is one thing, but heavy using of this OS is a different thing altogether...
because you pay double the money for a computer with less hardware spec than a pc for the same price so you dont have to use windows then you end up using it anyways
So with most of the people owing an iPod for Music, they didn't add support for iPod in Widows Media Player? And another thing, she always says something about innovation, but Mac and Linux always had this. I guess "gadgets" is totatly different from "widgets." Jesus, microsoft I don't mind you using ideas for other OS's but at least don't say it's innovation. There is nothing innovatino about the "Library" or a "New Windows media Layer." OMG! They got a search panel to search and fillter! W.O.W
err... widgets have not been invented by Apple. In fact, they come from Konfabulator and Microsoft showed their widgets/gadgets concept before Apple did.
And the search panel... andothe invention from Microsoft Research. Copied by Apple.
The libraries - also a new concept the way they're implemented in Windows 7 - just the sidebar in Explorer comes from OS X.
They can't add support for the iPod as long as Apple doesn't allow that. It's Apple's fault, they want the iPod to be iTunes-only.
Give me the link to the actual expert saying or writing whatever you just wrote to me. I don't take people serious on the internet like you. Not because I think you are retarded but any "Joe Shmoe" could of just said the same thing. I will only accept that if you show me (non-biased, and accurate by licensed professionals) were you exactly got this information. (your sources) If I see a"non-biased" expert with something like a Ph.D in Computer Engineering than I'll accept your ideas. I am sorry.
And people who are able to see similarities between Windows 7 and KDE or OS X should also be able to detect the similarities between stacks and toolbars, coverflow and picture preview and timemachine and windows backup/shadow copy.
Although the Mac versions of those features are better, they have been in Windows first.
It's not a one-way street and it doesn't matter at all.
The only thing that matters is how those features work.
it looks like W7 will have alot of potential but it will be a HUGE change for the users still scared of getting off XP. i wish them luck.....sorry mum
VISTA forever....i mean Microsoft should have let people to get sateld with Vista for a couple of years like the did with XP....lots of people stil didnt even switch to Vista.
Including me. I've been using it for 2 days now and haven't even touched Vista or XP since. I was expecting a buggy broken build but I haven't actually had any problems with it so far.
so you'r sayin that all the programs you need are working on W7 and it's almost just like you were using the final version of it? if it's true, i will also switch to w7
Not really. Expose works only with the windows you have open on your desktop. So, the ones that are minimized to the Dock don't get the Expose treatment. This feature in WIndows 7 shows the windows whether they are open or your desktop or minimized.
Wow, just got done installing and updating my driver system. I must say I'm highly impressed! The visual styles are just amazing and my benchmark test are off the charts with my AMD Turion64, over 236% better than Vista SP2. Good Job! And the touch screen is totally cool!!
I am downloading the beta version now. Not a bad file size either. From what I can see is it seems to pack quite a punch, allowing users to customize the interface to their liking, and various other elements. I'm sure there is much more to it than just the windows task bar lol. :) Wonder if the beta is going to be a timed beta, or a free to keep version for your efforts of debugging and participation in the program. Couldn't find anything clarifying this. Anybody here know? Thank you :-D
your right id like to see them up there with no communications or social skills at that to be up there..........lol fucken haters at least that lady had the tits to get up there
sure you will... i wana play settlers 3, unreal tournament 3,crysis ect and all high res and aa turned on without paying 3000$+ for a low end component computer! thats why ill take a custom built pc with nvidia 280 gtx, intel q6600 overclock to 3.5, ultra sli board,4gb ddr 3 ram and ill get it cheeper than a mac! and i can put os x on it! ideneb,iatkos ect. ill never go expensive mac with same hardware i can buy for 70% less price!
i know it is unimportant but the RTM start button is fucking hideous

It's not just that we like animations, but animations also shoe that something is happening.
For example, the minimize animation shows you where your windows are going when you click minimize.
The launch animations show that everything runs smooth and the application launches as it should.
Seeing how the screen redraws itself makes us nervous and degrades the user experience. Animations show that everything is okay.
Animations are important, they show us what's happening.

kebab786 3 years ago
I wanted to see some performance or GUI improvements, I have done most of these using just Rocket Dock, Taskbar Shuffle and a couple of free utils. on Vista.

Yes, it looks good, but will it actually WORK on a daily basis? Isn't this the problem with Microsoft-based software? A presentation is one thing, but heavy using of this OS is a different thing altogether...

I only just realised that Windows XP doesn't let you drag and drop window list items. I do it all the time on linux :)

mac sucks..windows 7 OWNS!
sportykid303 3 years ago 4
Mac doesn't sucks since Windows 7 owns on Mac too ;-)
Seriously, what's the point of saying Mac (hardware) sucks just because you see a new software (witch can run on Macs...)?
KawazoeJapan 3 years ago
because you pay double the money for a computer with less hardware spec than a pc for the same price so you dont have to use windows then you end up using it anyways

So with most of the people owing an iPod for Music, they didn't add support for iPod in Widows Media Player? And another thing, she always says something about innovation, but Mac and Linux always had this. I guess "gadgets" is totatly different from "widgets." Jesus, microsoft I don't mind you using ideas for other OS's but at least don't say it's innovation. There is nothing innovatino about the "Library" or a "New Windows media Layer." OMG! They got a search panel to search and fillter! W.O.W
UkrainianTeenager 3 years ago
err... widgets have not been invented by Apple. In fact, they come from Konfabulator and Microsoft showed their widgets/gadgets concept before Apple did.
And the search panel... andothe invention from Microsoft Research. Copied by Apple.
The libraries - also a new concept the way they're implemented in Windows 7 - just the sidebar in Explorer comes from OS X.
They can't add support for the iPod as long as Apple doesn't allow that. It's Apple's fault, they want the iPod to be iTunes-only.

Give me the link to the actual expert saying or writing whatever you just wrote to me. I don't take people serious on the internet like you. Not because I think you are retarded but any "Joe Shmoe" could of just said the same thing. I will only accept that if you show me (non-biased, and accurate by licensed professionals) were you exactly got this information. (your sources) If I see a"non-biased" expert with something like a Ph.D in Computer Engineering than I'll accept your ideas. I am sorry.
UkrainianTeenager 3 years ago
I'm not biased at all. I'm a Mac user at home and a Windows 7 Tablet PC user "on the road".
That stupid discussion about who copied what just led me to do some research.
Of course, there are things in Windows that were copied.
But lots of things people talk about are original inventions from Microsoft that could be copied by others because Vista has been delayed.
Desktop search, widgets and desktop effects (the idea, which has led to compiz/beryl) are only a few examples.

And people who are able to see similarities between Windows 7 and KDE or OS X should also be able to detect the similarities between stacks and toolbars, coverflow and picture preview and timemachine and windows backup/shadow copy.
Although the Mac versions of those features are better, they have been in Windows first.
It's not a one-way street and it doesn't matter at all.
The only thing that matters is how those features work.

So what are you expecting?
At least, according to various surveys, roughly 60-70% of those you got the beta for testing are going to switch to Windows 7.
Seems to be convincing...

It's pretty much impossible to move the folder location, that could lead to security and stability problems.

one thing to say... expose!
aolex 3 years ago
Not really. Expose works only with the windows you have open on your desktop. So, the ones that are minimized to the Dock don't get the Expose treatment. This feature in WIndows 7 shows the windows whether they are open or your desktop or minimized.

If you're not stupid: none, you won't get viruses (unless you download suspicious/illegal stuff).
drphysx 3 years ago
In other words for people that complain on viruses, and think a Mac or a Linux would save them they are the ones that don't have common sense.
ibuckyi 3 years ago
No in other words viruses are not a reason to switch to Linux or OS X unless you really need complete safety.
I mean complete safety from viruses. OS X is pretty vulnerable for hacking (Linux not).

Wow, just got done installing and updating my driver system. I must say I'm highly impressed! The visual styles are just amazing and my benchmark test are off the charts with my AMD Turion64, over 236% better than Vista SP2. Good Job! And the touch screen is totally cool!!

I am downloading the beta version now. Not a bad file size either. From what I can see is it seems to pack quite a punch, allowing users to customize the interface to their liking, and various other elements. I'm sure there is much more to it than just the windows task bar lol. :) Wonder if the beta is going to be a timed beta, or a free to keep version for your efforts of debugging and participation in the program. Couldn't find anything clarifying this. Anybody here know? Thank you :-D

The main purpose of Windows 7 IS EXACTLY to make it FASTER and CRASHPROOF.
The taskbar is nice, but Windows 7 is a whole lot more than a taskbar.
