Windows 7 GUI Overview HD (Build 7000)

[icyshadow0]

yup... the good beta times... i tested on my host os and it was fast as heck! :P

[nelizmastr]

hmm, the personalisation in W7 is exactly what I was hoping for.

I really think about upgrading after its release. (although I dont have the cash)

[Aerithm]

You can preorder the home version for 50 dollars at best buy until july 11th.

[nelizmastr]

uh is that US only? cuz I dont live anywhere near the US xD

and the RTM Ultimate version is going to cost around 300 dollars

[Aerithm]

There's an add for it on the microsoft website. It says you can the home premium upgrade for 50 and the next upgrade for like 100$.

Perhaps it's US only.

that is the windows spirit! i thought all you mac users would never say that i am going to upgrade to windows 7 ultimate as soon as the final comes out on a 2nd hard drive

and upgrade my computer to a quad core too

i am using Windows XP SP3 at the moment

Man it looks exactly like vista, can anyone tell me how this new system is security wise?

[gamingclassics]

im running a newer build and its not bad security wise, although i cant really see a difference in vista. But i havent had a single virus since January so its all good :)

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

I'm sorry but when I tried Win7, I couldn't see anything special apart from a GUI upgrade.

[gamingclassics]

you can change it to the normal vista taskbar, as shown in this video i believe

[SkaterOle]

how do you get windows 7

[nelizmastr]

download it from MS website

[superallye]

I hope it's also old games friendly :D

[gamingclassics]

Seems to be, I got san andreas running on it; thats around 4 years old now I think. Depends on how old the game you are thinking of is lol.

[superallye]

Well, yes I'm thinking 90's old lol. Anyways, that's fine, there's always emulators like DOSbox & such. It is however if possible those games can play on native windows rather than emulator.

[gamingclassics]

FF& is a 1997 game and it works fine :)

as long as the game had no problems on vista im sure it will probably work on this system.

[caseyzahorik]

Yea i have it too and it runs much better than vista on my computer.

[marjan15]

Thanks for HD, i wish you would show Task Manager. Something new there?

[gamingclassics]

Nope, I just compared with Vista and there doesn't seem to be anything new at all, except Windows 7 uses a lot less processes I think
