Well

Since the Beta is all over the net (if you look in the right places)

I just wanna get some feed back if people have given it a shot or are using it at the moment.

From all reports people are saying its WAY better than Vista.

So lemme know... Im thinking about installing it as a 2nd OS and giving it a shot.

Looks exactly like Vista with less strain on ram and processor. Used it for a bit. Found nothing compatable with it. Went back to XP.

Do you remember which build it was?

Build 7000 is supposed to be alot better with compatibility than the last builds.

What issues did you have?

I don't know why everyone is saying Vista is so bad.

Are you guys using Vista 32 or 64?

I have found that Vista 32 is pretty slow on the work Laptop, but 64 is damn quick on my home PC.

I have no program compatibility problems with Vista 64 and it runs a hell of a lot faster than XP (32bit) did (XP 64bit was not usable).

Anyway, if Windows 7 is all they are saying it will be (where have I heard that before?), then it will probably be worth the upgrade over Vista64.

Widows 7 kernel is alot leaner than Vista's this makes the whole system run faster, Windows developers are saying that they want to make it even more leaner. All in all I think that most people will find that they will still need large amounts of RAM, faster processor(s), and better graphic cards with faster GPU's mainly because of the applications that will be installed on top of the OS.

I think Windows 7 will still have issues such as third party dirvers and backwards compatability in regards to older hardware and software. Although if you had the spec's on your machine and really wanted/needed an application that Windows 7 didn't support you could always run XP or someother system in Virtual PC or VMWare.

For personal use I use Vista and don't have any issues with drivers or compatability with older software, also my machine is quite specy so I dont see problems with speed either.

As for the companies I support they use a range of XP and Vista for their worksations all with a mixture of 32 and 64 bit systems. This is where I see the real problems with Vista, every time a client says they are getting a PC with Vista on it we recommend at least 2GB RAM be installed, even then we see problems because of the applications they use.

I'm not going to slag off Vista but even Microsoft admitted they made a big mistake with coding Vista, not only that but the majority of businesses are not moving over to it. (Some companies I know of are actually formatting them and install XP).

But like any software whether it be an operating system or application; Windows 7 will have issues that's why Microsoft have patch Tuesday.

:D:D:laugh::laugh:

Do you need a special processor to run a 64-bit OS?

I'm looking for a new PC at the moment, and might investigate Vista 64 if its suitable for video editing,gaming,etc.

You need a 64bit processor, which is any new CPU atm & goes all the way back to the original AMD Athlon 64 or the 64bit versions of the Pentium 4 for Intel (The 600 series I believe?)

On the topic of Vista, it got a lot better compatibility wise with service pack 1.

    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.    
    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
