So this is the one replacing Vista? It seems like Microsoft does this a lot. They bring in some new Windows OS, and charge tons of money for it; it turns out to be pretty bad, and thereafter they replace it with a better one. I don't trust Microsoft, never really have.

Vista wasn't bad. I like Vista better than any previous Windows versions. You can't blame Vista for running poorly on an old system when they're trying to create a 'new age' operating system. It sounds to me like Win7 takes Vista and just tailors it to correct what every complained about.

I'm going to install the 64-bit version tonight.

But at the same time, they authorized "vista compatible" stickers on everything that was new enough to have ram.

true. i guess the average user doesn't really know much about ram, processor speed, etc.

Is it worth using for my Windows partition?  I'm trying to redo my OSes before I head back to school, and I'm not sure what to go with here.  It's either XP or Windows7, I think.  I don't really like Vista.

Keep in mind that the Beta expires on August 1, 2009.

(off topic) Anybody care if I merge this into the other Windows 7 thread?

[Blaze]

No.

Yeah, that's one of the things I was worried about.  However, I'll probably have time over the summer to redo OSes again.

7 over XP, def.

I assume there will be some work around by August, much like there was for the Vista betas.

XP. Better program support, better driver support.
