I chucked Windows 7 on a 5 year old laptop. It runs just as fast as it did with Windows XP, and I didn't have to search for a single driver to make it work.
Very pleased.
You should also try tiny7.
I'll definitely run Windows 7 soon... when I get my new Mac, I'll Boot Camp Win7 on it and run a few games
My laptop doesn't have XP drivers so I had to either go with Vista or Win7. I picked 7 of course and it's awesome so far.
Windows 7 it's not much better than vista. You need a good PC to work properly on it. Seven take 50% of my intel core2duo 6750 cpu when i just launch IE.
I am already posting from Windows 7. Its wonderful. I dual boot with windows xp. If anything goes wrong i can fix using xp and there has not been any need for that so far.
New install of Windows 7
So much faster than Vista in video processing and compressing rar files
Not only that not 1 bsod crash compared to Vista's once a day. I was really thinking I had bad hardware and gona blame my hardware vendor lol.
Overall thumbs up!!
ps
been changing isp companies so no broadband for a while cos they stuffed the botched the application process, so havnt been lurching lately :)
I agree with you on the video processing much better codec support in Windows media player!
you don't even need to install codecs to watch mkv's in WMP..I'm still on Vista but my sisters laptop came with Windows 7 so thats how I know
I don't think i'll go to windows 7, i'm good with windows XP and i won't change it for a while......
I have been using windows 7 right from beta stages. Its one of the best OS MS has ever released
speed improvements can have countless reasons. why do you think it's because of win7?Originally Posted by säbrtooth
wmp is hardly a factor for rating a whole os. even more so when there're much better media players out there.
and why is that?

I'm on it right now, have been for a few months. If you had performance issues on Vista, chances are you will on 7 aswell. It's more or less Windows Vista SP3.
Windows 7 is faster than Vista for gaming. BUT only with some games that are specially made for Win 7 for instance Dragon Age Origins was made with Win 7 and the new direct X in mind but it probably wont matter too much with WoW except if Vista was doing too much in the background.
