Virtual Machines Love Windows 7

http://go.tagjag.com/7 - Josh called in last week during live calls to talk with me about Windows 7. His general opinion at first was just that Windows 7 is a "great operating system". I had to chuckle at that, because I of course agree. As we talked more, we got into a bit of a discussion about how much better Windows 7 runs on our Macs inside of Boot Camp. In my opinion, anyway, Vista never did run well on any type of virtual machine. It just plain stunk. http://geeks.pirillo.com - http://chris.pirillo.com

I think Windows7 is a very good OS.

At some points it lags but very little.

I got a W7 Laptop for Christmas and so far so good.

I just installed WoW and I'm gonna see how it runs.

Don't Fail Me Windows7.

I think the biggest issue was that people wanted Vista to run as smooth as XP using the same hardware that XP used.

@35g70 It depends on your "Rig" as someone told me once was the name of it, if it's not high-end it'll crash a LOT, but if it's a low-end, and meets minimum specs, then it'll have a shitload of problems. I'd take XP over Vista anyday.

Windows 7 and Linux Mint 10 KDE = Best Combo! I haven't gotten a Rogue yet... but I've been EXTRA cautious lately, even installing multiple security systems, it may slow down my PC, but MalwareBytes Pro is worth it. I was thinking of getting MSE too, though... Anyway, Mint 10 KDE for browsing, mostly for personal, and testing a download file, I.E Torrents, and Windows 7 is for gaming and other non-linux-compatible software.

windows 7 is good but mac os x is 100000000000000000000000000000­0000000098X better

I don't see why everyone seems to hate Vista I never had any issues with it. Windows 7 is better than Vista but Vista isn't nearly as bad as people say it is. Most of the issues people had with it were ID10T errors.

Windows 7 sucks less than Vista....
