Is your PC ready for Windows 7?

PC retailers have spent the last few weeks gearing up in a big way for the launch of Windows 7.

 

[The_Techie]

It is, yes.

 

[killadoob]

If it can run vista it is already overkill for windows 7 .

 

[MrXSpekta]

Well, got my Win 7 Pro via MSDN Academic Alliance and it really works like a dream.

 

[Budza]

Reckon 7 scales well, so should be fine on the majority of PCs.

Those with a heap o junk aren't going to be upgrading OS anyway...

 

[reddevilandy10]

My new one will be...

[The_Techie]

It will, currently running RC1 on a PC with lower specs.

Easily dude, if windows 7 can run on my ex's celeron notebook then your pc will be way more than enough.

but my cpu does not support vt from what i've read at tom's hardware.meaning i'm gonna have trouble with xp mode

 

[The_Techie]

XP mode won't run on your CPU according to this. However, Windows 7 itself will run just fine.

 

[killadoob]

You may not even need xp mode dude, i use many programs and they all run on windows 7.

With which institution are you?

I e-mailed UNISA about this and got told it wont be available to any students.

 

[stevovo]

My only gripe so far is that daemon tools (the free version) does not yet run in win7 x64

But other than that, it's running like a dream

 

[MrXSpekta]

With which institution are you?

I e-mailed UNISA about this and got told it wont be available to any students.

I'm part of an online institution, ACM to be exact.

Do some research on ACM and IEEE. They have a list of universities that's members and of which departments student has access to the content.

I know UNISA is part of ACM, but the membership is only available to certain departments, for instance IT.

But have a look online, all the info is available.

Latest version is compatible with Win 7 and works.

 

[The_Techie]

I've run Daemon Tools on my RC1 x64 without any problems

what about games?i heard it gives alot of trouble with games

 

[Shred]

My only gripe with Windows 7 so far is that Network Passwords aka Credential Manager does not work with SQL Server

I have been running the release version for two months now, and am very happy.

what about games?i heard it gives alot of trouble with games

I've got about 30 games installed on my main PC, all of which run without any issues.
