I have not even tried it yet.. maybe when my quad computer is back up (few days) and run it in vmware.. anyways i think ubuntu 9.04 rocks works perfect on my laptop 3ghz p4 hyper threading but thats just me. :/
I was tempted to try it with dual boot but damn if it's like Vista I preffer not to. If does look a lot like vista. Also it still has a while to go so I spect it to be very buggy. I think I'll wait.
Now beta testing windows 98 was something because it was a huge difference over Win 95 :D and beta testing windows 95 was awesome because it sure was something over windows 3.1
It's a whole lot better than Vista, that's for sure, it's quick, stable, and did I already say fast? It's not been buggy at all, at least on my end and what I've got installed and toyed with, the only big bug is KMPlayer doesn't want to work right, but other than that, 7, I think will take back the market share, it's that good, just forget Vista and you could forget XP too with the built in XP mode...seriously if you haven't tried 7 go ahead, it's free for a year and you only need about 10-20gb of space to feck around.
I like it but doesnt work with punkbuster.
It's still nice and quick. Excellent point, Microsoft. Well presented.
True story, ladies.

I tried Win7 when the betas came out and it was...ok. I reverted to Vista because at the time, hardly any software would work with 7.
So now that I'm seeing theming being done and most software working, I'm thinking of going ahead and making the switch again.
Is there any point in waiting for the proper retail? I've already downloaded "Microsoft Windows 7 ULTIMATE x64 OEM DVD-BIE" :unsure:
Microsoft Windows 7 ULTIMATE x64 OEM DVD-BIE is fine I even got the proper sound drivers for mine . Use 32 bit Firefox it runs great on this build .
Only program I used that won't install properly is TuneUp 2009 , I use Windows 7 Manager instead . Lots of hidden tweaks to play with .

In the past week I've done four OS installs- three Win 7 and one XP Pro.
The three Win 7- two laptops and one desktop- went flawlessly and only one (the desktop, oddly enough) required a driver (for sound) after install.
All required third party software installed and worked without a hitch.
On the other hand, the XP install not only required the F6 floppy dance to even see the SATA drive, but had a Device Manager full of yellow exclamation points when finished. ALL drivers were needed and, since there was no internet access possible till the ethernet driver was found, a second PC was required to finish the process.
I honestly don't know why people still cling to XP...if your machine is so lame that it can't meet 7's basic requirements, it's time for a new machine.
7 Rocks
I've gotten win7pro to bsod, thrice :01:
One was from just changing ports with a razer death adder, twice was from nvidia driver hiccoughs.
It's cool, though. It's the win2k to Vista's XP. Not very different, but smoother.
It works flawlessly with PB and has for a while now. COD runs perfectly.Quote:

yeah, don't worry. All valve games use VAC2 which is compatible with windows 7, as it isn't a client-side anti-cheat system.
Yep, every game I've tried so far on steam is fully functional, no problems at all or any customization needed.
Now I remember what I hated about using Windows 7. Ultramon doesn't work on it. :no:
Have you tried the Beta ?
"UltraMon 3.0.7 Beta has been released, this release has a fix for the issue with the Smart Taskbar not working correctly on Windows 7 systems (Aero theme) with more than 2 monitors, and two other bug fixes. See the release notes for details, download here. "
http://www.realtimesoft.com/
Yeah, but it still didn't work. The forum is flooded with Windows 7 issues too. How pissed would you be if you paid for it and it still didn't work?
That guy must really hate money.
I'm using DisplayFusion now, which I suppose is the next best thing.
It could be worse , remember the Vista Hardware issues . :whistling
Not at all. I didn't even start using Vista until SP2 tho, so in my experiences with it, it was a top notch OS.
Which features is it that you like from ultramon?Quote:

My point was , be patient as the hardware support is there the software not so much . That will change quickly , seen it already with my first Win 7 Win update . :)Quote:

I REALLY liked that.
I've only had one issue with my meeses and that was solved by reinstalling the Logitech software.Quote:

Maybe the mice are but a symptom of an underlying problem...
Been using 7 RC1 for months on my tablet Pc and it just rocks... The inking features are a real improvement over Vista, multitouch and the likes work like a charm and I never had any problems driver-wise... Very stable, small memory footprint, great reactivity. A real treat :)
That being said, Vista X64 with SP2 is an excellent OS too, stable, never crashes and quite speedy - given that you feed it with large amounts of ram and a beefy setup (main pc rig: overclocked Quad q9550, 8 gigs of ram, 4870x2 and Raid-0 arrays)
Preordered "el cheapo" 7 Home Premium when it was being sold for something like 50€ and I just can't wait for October 22nd as this will be my first truly bought Mircroshaft OS....

I also think I'll poke around on Start64 to see if they know of any Win7 mouse stuff; that's a great site - they chase mfr stuff for us 64bit folk, and they're off into Win7, too.
I think I already peeked at Device Mgr., but it's easy enough to refresh my memory.
Just for grins, try your wired USB mouse with a PS2 adaptor and see if the problem goes away.Quote:

Think so...
