I disagree. Windows 7 is BLAZING fast. I haven't noticed any of the old hang time I had in XP. Maybe that's just because I was needing a reformat or something, I don't know, but I'm definitely not regretting the upgrade in any way, shape, or form.Magyk wrote:Windows 7 is nice, but like Vista - if you have XP I really see no point to upgrade until your next computer.
Windows 7

Hi. I'm angry on the internet.
Re: Windows 7
I've never had any speed problems with XP on my PC, and I have W7 on my laptop.
Both are good, I'm not dissing 7 at all or anything. I just don't think it's so significantly better you need to go out and buy it straight away, you might as well wait until you buy a new computer. (Or until you can get a bargain on it anyway, my brother got it for me for $20 through his college.)

Re: Windows 7
That's actually a good point, I can't think of any features on Windows 7 over XP that really make it something you need to upgrade right away to.Magyk wrote:I've never had any speed problems with XP on my PC, and I have W7 on my laptop.

It does run at a comparable speed to XP though. I daresay it runs faster than XP did on my desktop (with really nice specs).

Re: Windows 7
It runs, hands down, faster than XP in every single aspect for me. Noticeably faster. I'm not talking I got some benchmarking program and am counting milliseconds here, I am talking it loads everything in a mere fraction of the time.GUARD!AN wrote:That's actually a good point, I can't think of any features on Windows 7 over XP that really make it something you need to upgrade right away to.Magyk wrote:I've never had any speed problems with XP on my PC, and I have W7 on my laptop.

Buying Windows 7 for 100$ sure as shit beats buying expensive hardware upgrades to get the same effect.

Re: Windows 7
I've got a copy of Win7 ultimate AIO or something....guess I should actually try it, but I'm too lazy/apprehensive to put it on my own machine.

Re: Windows 7
Home premium for me too, it is a lot more responsive and I'd say it's worth getting.
