Just my thoughts, but most of you folks swearing that XP is great, have been bitching about it for years... :sqerr: :sqeek:

Vista was an incredible upgrade to that -- it just took the hardware guys eons to update their drivers and hardware, and many users were unwilling to move in a new direction.

Now you have what is most likely the most stable OS on the planet, with great features, and yer still bitchin' :sqrolleyes:


Granted, my car is 15 years old, and I see no reason to buy a new one -- then again, I don't drive much... :sqwink:


BTW, Rockit has been running for 96 days, and 18 hours straight on Win 7, going in full out random AutoMix mode. You'll have to ask Sarkozy about that other program... ;)

Cool beans dude :)

Note to self: Lock out that name from buying software from our company... Obviously BA (Before Amish). :sqerr: :sqlaugh:
 
Free 90 day trial version. It's supposed to be for "IT Professionals" but I don't think there is anything to prevent home use. This is Windows 7 "Enterprise" version and will only run for 90 days, but if you have a spare or test machine it will give you some free insight into Windows 7.

If anyone asks, you didn't get this from me. :sqbiggrin:

I hear 7 is as good as (maybe better than) OSX....

No experience personally with that software, but I love 7!

In 9 months of testing on my system, it's never crashed. I've been running the beta, and the RC since they were available, 24/7, with reboots only when necessary to install the recommended patches. Otherwise, it's been very happily plugging along, doing what I ask of it.

I will be purchasing a full copy soon! Gauranteed!
 
I just ran another upgrade on one of the MSI Touch's. It had RC1 Ultimate on it, and Pro said it needed to wipe it -- but it didn't, it saved all my stuff :)

The only thing that disappeared were the desktop shortcuts (easy enough to put back).

I had to order a copy of Home Premium for one of my main dev machines though, as it has Vista Home Premium on it, and I need to do an in-place upgrade on that. Way too much work to reload all the software on it...

The install is very smooth and easy on the final release :)

I'm fine with XP Professional. If it ain't broke, don't fix it...and my stuff works fine. No problems whatsoever.

Hmm, It's funny... Some developers said the exact same thing when Vista came out. Many of them are already out of business or will be out of business in the next 6 months... If... They didn't change their attitude.

Alot of people complain that Vista simply didn't work. Vista works absolutely awesome... If... You don't install stuff put out by developers who didn't go through the effort to redo all of the bad stuff they did to make it work on XP.

I have never had a major software program cause a crash on Vista that wasn't traced to something the user had installed that was buggy. Heck... I don't think I've ever had any os crash that couldn't be traced to that same problem.

Good luck staying on XP for as long as you can. You have 4 options:

1) Upgrade and go through the learning process now.
2) Upgrade later and go through the learning process later.
3) Move to a different OS entirely (linux, MacOS)
4) Quit using computers ;-)
