Windows 7 - THIS IS RIDICULOUS! (Review)

[semiautomatix]

Why build on the Vista/2008 kernel? I would've thought Microsoft would build a new kernel from the ground up to compete with the Linux kernel. Hmmm...

Will you be able to use the beta as you sole OS?

Yes, but I would not recommend using a Beta on a production computer.

 

[mercurial]

Well I ran the Windows 7 beta in VMware and it was fantastic.

 

[Ghost02]

Well when I get my new system in February (+-R12K) what do you guys think I should run Vista Ultimate x64 (have) or get the beta of Windows 7?

 

[CorneN]

Wel,, if its that good, I'll take a copy right now

Definitely I would get Windows 7 64. That will be my next OS.

I think it's on the last page of the review I posted, I think its the same as Vista

this does sound very propoganda like.....i will believe it when its installed and i dont miss osx.

Companies have been known to pay bloggers to write good reviews. Don't know if this is the case here but just throwing it out there.

I just figured it out. They put a coat of paint on XP and called it Window 7

 

[Abe]

The scary thing is maybe MS have actually been listening to customers for a change. That and they probably fired the whole Vista team.

 

[The_Unbeliever]

propaganda more likely.

just wait for the actual release and we'll see...

I'm use to better grammar from techies, I'm use to people using 'I'm used to'!
