Windows 7 build 7000 outperforms Vista and XP

[dr_ml422]

dr ml422:

no what i meant was i didnt installed ie7, 6 was there, i didnt install wmp11 9 was there in short plain simple sp3 integrated OS install.

compared to 430 to 450 win7 takes its a big big step after vista which takes 800+ mb on same system.

atifsh if you're using vista sp1 as the source data sample for how much ram it takes up, here being 800+, then 430 to 450 is a lil off from what xp takes up w/out mp11 and ie 7. unless you're talking about windows 7 taking up less ram than vista sp1. you didn't post anything on the mem usage other than percentage of 512mb of ram on that. Though since 50% of 512mb is 256 then I think you're adding the xtra 5-10% and coming up w/ 430 to 450 as compared to 800+ mb on vista sp1. Still it's taking more than a whole stick of 256 mb of ram than xp.

What's to jump up about? Some xtra features? Because if responsiveness is the best they could offer I'm more than satisfied w/xp right now if you know what I mean.

Also you said> well installation is faster then of XP's on a test xps200 i have here, yet to install windows 7 Are you referring to the installation results from the attacments? Must be because you haven't installed it yet on there. Did you yourself rate the installation times that it took on the pc you have it on now w/the other 2 window os? That being xp and vista sp1? I know it'll be quite a pita to install and uninstall to find out, but I guess from experience you could tell?

This is interesting because now one really could gauge the bs behind newer os from ms. If bells and whistles is essentially the main selling point here, which it does seem it is, besides a lil more response time, then why bother? Then again any link or post to the eye candy? That'll really put things in perspective.

Microsoft is releasing Windows 7 at the CES show in Las Vegas. You can also download Windows 7 from Microsoft with a key that will expire in August 09.

Wrapped up w/some other digital and computer stuff right now, but will keep this in mind. Eventually I'll have to start playing w/a new windows os, but it isn't going to be any time soon. That in itself will keep me busy for weeks prolly mos.

So far I have 3 keys, no code.
If it blows up my "guinea pig" machine that will give me an excuse to buy a new PC.

I have a couple of motherboards that are not in use that I am going to download windows 7 and play around with. Then I will see if it is worth upgrading to. I am wondering how much it will cost. I have also read the Microsoft will be laying off 20% of their workforce. That is around 20,000 employees that will loose their jobs.

[dr_ml422]

When is 7 suppose to be official and not a beta like Vista is or was or w/e? Or is MS just like that since day 1? Throwing out w/e and letting the complaints guide their damage control. Shame on the lay offs, Billy Boy could afford to pay those 20,000 workers they're salary and then some for as long as he wants.

Still can't make sense out of why with all that $$$ he can't come out w/a killer os each and every time. Gotta give him props though, the concept behind Windows when you think about it is pretty awesome.

I like it. UAC is eased off quite a bit. Much more friendly.

If it was on sale today I would of installed it on my new build instead of Vista Home Premium.

I have not had any issues yet.

Might be time for a Windows 7 Subforum like Windows Vista. (Just a Suggestion)

I am going to install all the very favorite programs many of use quietly and post yeah or neah.

If any is interested in being adventurous here is the link.

Thanks for the tips atifsh and others.

For the last couple of days every time I hit the Download
button it loads the page I'm already on. When did you download
or did you get it at some event?

[PurpleDemon]

yesterday. Which one did you want 32 or 64 bit?


EDIT Try HERE

[dr_ml422]

ot there's a update for your firmware on the sata sammy. it's up to (SB04)

I can't put anything on my dell as it's a prebuild. Maybe when the time comes I'll find something to play with. although I would need the necessary drivers and/or hardware also.

Same deal. The download just refreshes the license key page.
I heard they couldn't handle the volume but you'd think with
all those programmers they could at least send you to a page
that said something.

Strange.

I am curious

Are you downloading using IE7 or 8?

Firefox will not bring up the download

LOL I forgot Netscape still existed.

Glad you got it!!

@ atifsh I am sure those links will prove invaluable. I bookmarked your post just in case.

Thank You

I did originally think it was a browser problem because Firefox was a no go and IE 7 always come up.

If the server is overloaded at a beta build, they had better prepare to press a lot of Windows 7 disk's.

I am curious how many are downloading 32 bit to 64 bit ratio. Would be interesting to see what the consumer still wants.

@dr_ml422 thanks for the reminder on SB04.

Been awhile since I used this burner. It failed in my other PC and I was going to update then, but forgot.
