Vista is such trash though I'm willing to either buy this upgrade or just
go back down to windows xp...fuck this freezing up a relatively new
computer shit...
Macs are okay but too much software is written towards the Windows
platform; Linux's "Ubuntu" frontend is just merely adaquate unless you're
willing to put time in learning the system...yes it does work well as a Windows
like atmosphere, but you still needed to learn DOS to deal with Windows's more
arcane issues for a long time, and Ubuntu is proving no different so far.

That's why I waited that long. I upgraded from Win XP with not so
much as a couple of hiccups last year. Upgrading to 64-bit was...not
smooth but nothing I couldn't fix....and it runs great.

just for the simple fact that I have tons and tons of cracked software
that won't work under vista. Call me a thief but I think It's silly
to pay for software when the bittorrent network is available. A few
games I found will run cracked under vista but that's like maybe 1 or
2 % of what I have. Most of them just won't work under the new OS's. I
run gamesxcopy for most ISO files, and my XP games mostly work this
way.

three machines running Ubuntu. My wife left XP a month ago and said how
easy Ubuntu was, she picked it up over one Saturday! Have you ever used
it? Why troll a Mac group shilling for Windows 7? Aren't there enough
"Windows 7 parties you can go to?"

The key word here is "troll", and it answers your question.

Thank you for reading my little posting.

I run into silly people everyday, as I free the enslaved M$ users, to
run Linux Mint 7.
The Micro$oft dweebs are brainwashed by the proprietary vendors, that,
though they are susceptible to serious problems because the source code
is closed and restricted to only the anointed ones who are willing to
sign their life away, that even as the monster eats their homework, they
suffer the Stockholm Syndrome!
Then, there are the million Micro$oft virus, to bedevil them.
But, the real deal is this:
1. All Microsoft products are consecutive processing systems. They will
forever be slow due to the baby step method of processing whatever has
loaded from the Registry!
All the BSD (Mac OS X), Linux, Solaris, Irix, and other POSIX compliant
OSes are concurrent, parallel processing systems that are totally IMMUNE
to all the million Micro$oft virus/malbots/exploits!
2. Micro$oft abuses the filesystem, and the hard drive, in the way it's
loaded from the spindle outward. Very in-efficient for reading,
writing, and a contributer to excessive wear, and early failure!
The POSIX compliant OSes write to either side of the center of the drive
platter, cutting access time dramatically.
3. In the consecutive processing (baby steps) Micro$oft plan, every
application / window is halted except the one actually in use.
In the POSIX compliant OSes, all applications simply process
continuously no matter the one in use at the moment!
These are only 3 of the 1001 valid reasons demonstrated daily
that you need to be assimilated, for the good of the human revolution
towards true freedom of ownership of your data.

I would be interested in reading more about this, I do know that I
bought my wife an IMAC and it is a kick ass machine. IMACS are Unix
based. The reason Unix doesn't crash is the hard kernal operating
system that uses parallel processing with Mutex and Semaphores. I took
a unix internal class a long time ago but I had a hard time
understanding the internals because I wasn't interested in the
subject. My wife's machine never crashes. Never. The next machine I
buy in going to be an Apple. In fact Christmas is around the
corner .......

They are not totally immune to freezes, don't forget to back up
regularly to a separate HD if possible.

yes I have my wife's system on autobackup. Pretty sweet. I will put it
this way I bought my wife the imac and it hasn't froze up since I got
it six months ago. She loves it.

What planet are you living on. The last place I worked that had only a

but one of my best mates, tells me you are an ok guy, and he knows
you.... so.... try again maybe?)
Anyway....
What i'm wanting to find out is whether the release version [7100] is
vastly different from the final Beta realease [7000] that i've been
running the past few months?
I haven't noticed any glitches woth mentioning, ... I started off a
bit wary, cos most things my little Bro' sends me on an HDDand says
'just use it' tend to be screwed in some way!!...
So i have had it on a double boot since July, but i very swiftly found
mysdelf booting in Win 7 Beta every day, .. for a start it halves the
KB weight of Firefox! ... which is great cos i was >this< close to
moving over to Chrome, which aint a bad browser, it's just a lot of
lightweight open source stuff that needs some serious feedback before
V.2 is released, ..then maybe i'll go there...
Also what i've liked abouyt win 7 (oyther than it's Leopard OSX feel!,
which helps me move between Photoshhop at work and PS at home a lot
more easily) is that the 'console' as they call it these days, ..or
the 086 dos environment is far easier to use to your advantage without
having to con the OS (Vista) before gaining access to stuff like
direct telnet operations etc....
So Bottom line..... Do i need the Full Final Realease or if i'm happy
with my final Beta, can i relax and know i'm not missing out hugely...
(btw GFX are no matter to me, it's RAM and Rendering speeds im
interested in as a modeller rather than a gamer , ...oh i DO game!! ,
but no priority on the benchmark)
Cheers.

Like it or not, if it was not for Windows, it is possible we would not
have as many choices. There was a time when companies did not build
clone computers that could run multiple softwares from different
sources. Just some food for thought.

There was quite a lot of different Unixes, today we have less, some single
platform others multiplatform.
There are those who say that microsoft has stopped the evolution of software,
