Windows 7
Windows 7
is it a big difference from vista and xp?
Visually not really much difference to Vista, but running a few tests on the two operating systems its a hell of a lot quicker and more stable under heavy load.
Hell of a lot different to XP though.
Still a very little niggles but it's only the release candidate.
I've been running it for a month or so, tried it on my old laptop when my new one arrived.
but loved it so much upgraded the new one as well.
I think i prefer the way the taskbar works on it, much nicer IMHO. but yeah seems to work so much better.
Apparently theres an XP mode (emulator thing) built in but i dont knwo how to find it.

been running the 69 build beta for a while testing for microsoft, i'ts awesome.
Performance tests of the beta (not the RC) are already showing that win7 outperforms both vista+xp on high end and low end machines.
Here's some tests:

i had vista 2 years before release and i have to say i don't have a problem with it, the only thing that annoys me is how much you have to confiigure or tweak this is the benefit of win7

What I think is great about windows 7 is that if you turn off all the visual bits and bobs it will run faster than XP - which is quite an achievement considering how much more powerful the new Os is. Running this on both my laptop and desktop atm and while i'm coming across quite a few power management issues (which can be fixed by new drivers) it's as solid as a rock.
