I run XP x86 on my notebook and on my PC as main OS.

But I also run Vista x64 sometimes on my PC too.

Of course not :tongue:


Windows XP - it's what I'm running right now.
Windows Vista - have tried the RC and Final versions inside a VM.
Windows 7 - have tried it inside a VM.
Windows 95 - have installed it on a separate disk in my old K6-2.
Windows 98 - it replaced WinME, see below.
Windows ME - came installed with my very first computer.
Windows 2000 - used it for a short time in my K6-2. Ran quite fast.
Windows Server 2003 - have tried it inside a VM.



how big is your HDD ??:biggrin:

man great...all this systems you test on your computer:top:

with a RAID system ....or not....because i have a lot of problems with raid??

anon
02.02.09, 18:39
Yes, I think :biggrin:

Forgot to say, I have also tested MS-DOS 7.1, Windows 3.11 (if that counts as an OS :tongue:), NT 3.51, NT 4, and did some experiments with Debian, Ubuntu, Damn Small Linux, and the one that comes inside PVPM. I like testing these and learning new things :smile:

Edit: no, never had a RAID system. Just IDE...

XP user till the end! Honestly with all that fuzz about W7 I'm not that surprised not interested in experiencing it since I believe,nothing would ever beat XP's good performance!

My running System is actually Win XP Pro SP3 32bit and in future is my System Win7 finaly ;-)

You better check some videos for beta version first befor deciding to fully using it ;) coz I've heard lots of bad images about it ... a friend of mine installed the beta version & here are some of the basic drawbacks of it :

1. Slow setup time (took him 2 hours)
2. Large space used (like vista,reserves around 7~8GB)
3. a bit Slow performance along with buggy & unstable system files

So after all,I hope MS don't rush into releasing the final version before getting real time feedbacks from users :top:

Lol new System's aren't so bad if you have a good and fast PC,they only suck on low end PC's.And its normal to be larger since they have more options and new better graphics

anon
03.02.09, 18:18
@Aurion: he's already done so :wink:

And it's weird that your friend has had such issues, while:

1. Slow setup time (took him 2 hours)
2. Large space used (like vista,reserves around 7~8GB)
3. a bit Slow performance along with buggy & unstable system files

1. it took me 20 minutes to install it in my Athlon XP (2170Mhz) under a VM,
2. yes, I needed 8GB of free space too, and this caused a lot of problems since most of my HDDs are close to filling up - had to uninstall/delete a lot of stuff to make room for Win7...
3. it didn't have stability problems for me. Didn't play around with it too much, though.

Aurion
04.02.09, 01:27
Well,that was his own experience,so I can't tell if he's honest or just want to teleport bad impression about this first Beta! Anyway,for me I think I will have to give a tiny try at the very first stages of the official release to fully understand the whole idea about it!

@anon: Overall,what do you think of it ?

Don't know if I'll ever change it :tongue:
Maybe if Windows 7 turns out great!

@anon: Overall,what do you think of it ?

Well, I didn't use it too much (see below), but performance looked fine - remember I was running it under a VM in with a 2170Mhz processor, so the fact that there wasn't any UI lag speaks very well of Win7's improvements.

And by the way, I didn't try the official beta/RC/whatever, but the Microsoft.Windows.7.Beta.1.Build.7000.x86.DVD. REPACK-WinBeta, which you can find at RevTT.


@anon how does shu and emule work under windows 7.i have xp and hope to pass to windows 7 when it is released in final version

Haven't tried running them, to be honest... You should know that I hard deleted my whole SteamApps folder by accident while I was playing with some tools, and you can imagine that recovering it was suddenly more important than checking Win7 for me, since it takes like a year or two to get all the GCFs and remake my custom configs... :frown:

When I have time I will try it again, run some of our mods, and post feedback here. :smile:

Aurion
05.02.09, 01:07
@anon: Well,then I think that the one you've used might be a moded version of the official beta since the only version I'm aware of that MS officially released was the RC Beta 1 version ....

That's correct. You think I should test MS's official release instead? :tongue:

Win vista and win7 are bunch of messed codes that greedy Microsoft forced its programmers to put in a box, and before they could put all codes in that box , Microsoft sold it to the world.

I loved win 2000 and than upgraded to win xp and loved that! But I bought a new comp and it came with win vista and i hate it so much but I am too lazy to go back to xp. Waiting on 7 to see if I will move on as it seems much better than vista. We shall see

The only thing I miss on MicroXP at the moment is WMA and MIDI playback. All the apps I use worked correctly. Although there are indeed some that don't work (listed on its readme).
