Rate win7

Anyone care to rate win7 upgrade.

9 out of 10 so far. The only problem I have had is trying to triple boot with Linux and Solaris (it's easy to do via Grub, but then Windows Backup doesn't work and Windows won't sleep). Got Windows and Linux booting, but Solaris is a bit of a PITA.

Web browsing seems much snappier than the RC or my Linux installations.

Edit: I should have added - those Luddites who are staying with XP are making a big mistake. Windows 7 is so much better than XP; and at £45 it was a snip.

For the time being I will remain a Luddite,no harm in waiting till most of the bugs and security issues have been ironed out

I'll bet you any money you like that Windows 7 is more secure than XP. Any serious bugs have already been ironed out during extensive consumer testing.

The 64-bit version certainly has far less problems than the 64-bit version of XP did - and I resent paying for 4GB of RAM and not being able to use all of it, or the full power of my processor, with a 32-bit OS.

Things are a bit behind here , the local exchange was only enabled for UP TO 8Mbps just over 3 years ago

Been using Windows 7 Rc for a while now and I think it is pretty good, far better than Vista and I do prefer it in many ways to XP.

I got the Retail pro version delivered today, not installed it yet as I got things to back up, so I will do that tomorrow.

Thank you all for the feed back.

Its shyte and I have not even tried it.

If it is any kind of evolution of Vista they can stick it.

XP for me all the way.

Well there's a reasoned criticism!

Indeed.

I hate marmite as well - never actually eaten any but I know I wouldn't like it if I did
