This song kicks but...... I love the beginning sounds like Star wars!! :D

[jakaos412]

Why am I not working the sound or beta windows7 my internet does not work :-(

[screwit93]

Man, when will Microsoft learn that Windows XP was and will always be the best. I know it can't utilize video cards as well and everything and it isn't as flashy as these new OS's but it gave you what you needed when you needed simply, QUICKLY, and easily. Windows Vista had a better taskbar, but that's it. Windows 7's is worse than Vista, and slower than XP. I will never use jump lists how can I right click and choose properties :( Windows XP was easy to learn Windows 7 isn't.

[screwit93]

Windows XP didn't have useless features that made the OS run slower, like monitoring things all the time or adding useless features like moving your mouse to the bottom right of the screen to make windows see through, or hovering over something to see whats in it...YOU KNOW WHATS IN IT YOU OPENED IT!!! Windows XP had a crappy taskbar but that's it. Windows Vista will always look the best IMO, and Windows 7 is a failure. It won't appeal to the word processing/web browsing compute users.

[screwit93]

Windows XP was incredibly easy to learn and can run on anything. Windows 7 has so many useless features that one might accidently go to the bottom right of the screen and see the windows dissapear and if they aren't to smart with computers they might say, "where did my windows go??? IS IT A VIRUS!!!!" Minimilist is the key, keep it quick, keep it simple, keep it sleek and keep it cheap. At least microsoft learned one lesson, too much choice is bad. Three versions is good, two is to little

[tuckavids]

@screwit93 Very true; THUMBS UP+ 

[ZATPr0ductions]

honestly. i don't have any problems with vista. i like it.

[03008080879]

so it means that i should by a new one ...... if i buy 1gb gforce nvidia display card ...is it work fine ..i mean i'll not face hang problem with window 7..if i installed 1 gb graphic adapter

[dmcemmet]

Any modern nvidia card (6xxx or newer) will be working fine with vista/win7.

[03008080879]

.i dont have a driver of my graphic card of 128 mp its built in intel board 910gl when microsft update my card driver my windows stuck every time ...but when i uninstal my card driver its running ok..wat is this problem can you help mein this metter????

[dmcemmet]

Undortunately this card isn't "Vista ready", so Intel decided to doesn't make vista (and win7) driver for this card. You must stick with m$ drivers.

[dmcemmet]

And with this card you cannot run AERO, so you won't have windows preview and any other effects.

[03008080879]

i have one problem in windows 7...i installed windows 7 first o all i wana tell you when i move my cursor on task bar my windows 7 donot showing mini views by moving cursors in task bar...the other problem is right now i m running this window on standard vga card .

[ubuntu704feistyfawn]

can you say thats it fast? i mean is it fast not in the vmware? is iti much faster than vista or even xp? thank you

[dmcemmet]

I have installed win7 on real machine and in my opinion win7 is much slower than xp, but slightly faster than vista.

[anim8ordude]

I need your advice. I have downloaded the Windows 7 Public Beta, but I am still not ENTIRELY sure whether to install it or not. Are there any major bugs, problems, errors etc that I should know about? Can you give me some pros and cons possibly?

[dmcemmet]

Vista drivers works with win7, apps too. Some minor problems can occur when UAC is turned off (desktop gadgets and some other programs wont run). In my opinion win7 beta works much better than vista sp1.

[anim8ordude]

Cool. My computer crashed recently and had to reinstall from my Vista backup disc, so therefore I'm back to SP0 anyway. I'm going to make sure that my windows 7 installation disc works in VirtualBox, and then I'm going to install it. Thanks for the advice. How bad though are the problems caused when UAC is turned off? Is it serious? I HATE UAC and always turn it off. Is it worth it?

[dmcemmet]

Hmm... If you really hate UAC you won't regret turning off this shit. Only some unnecesary windows apps doesn't work (like windows gadgets and one of control panel app (i have forgotten which))

[inyourcrawlspace]

I don't think you really even have to turn it off. UAC has a slider now with different levels of protection. I just put it 1 above disabled hasn't really bothered me at all.

[funnygirley]

can that tool bar be any bigger looks like kde's

im a Linux Girl and il be one tell i die.

[AquaInertia]

LOL Acid 3 test FAIL

[tempest911]

i tried it with 1024 MB virtaul ram and 15 GB virtual hard disk i think it`s enough, but its bootihg very very very slowly :(

[ZarniLogoDesigner]

because thats what happens when u out that quantity of ram and hard disk

[Azdrubael]

linux kbuntu powaaaaaaaaaaa

[GEEKinLyfe]

how did u get internet on yuor virtualbox? i can never get my internet to work

[dmcemmet]

You must use NAT network (in network settings) to connect to the Internet.

[chadt4]

Thanks alot u are a god

[chadt4]

Wait... NAT network in wiondows 7 or in virtualbox? wht do u do exactly?

[dmcemmet]

VirtualBox Settings -> Network ->Adapter0 -> Attached to: NAT

[dmcemmet]

And maybe You should change Virtual Network Adapter (vista and win7 doesn't have proper driver for default Vbox network adapter)

[chadt4]

Ok thanks it worked

[fixthejam]

looks like a cheap rip off of KDE4 :S

and I hate KDE...

[tommybricksetti]

Seven just isn't Se7en without Aero. Turn Aero on or it won't be an accurate description. Also, why exactly are you using XP only as opposed to dual-booting?

[dmcemmet]

Aero is only a visual enhancement. Nothing else. And as you can see i'm using VIRTUAL MACHINE, so I can't use aero (virtual machines have no 3d acceleration!).

[Chessmaster300]

I thought that 3d acceleration came with Virtual Box(v. 2.1.0), it's under Video Memory

[dmcemmet]

Yes, but it supports only OpenGL, not DirectX.

[Chessmaster300]

Cool
