Re: windows 7

I've had a dabble and it seems quite good. I installed in on quite an old PC and it didn't seem to be half as choked as it was running Vista.

Re: windows 7

LAd at the office has got it and says only good things about it. He did get it free though as beta testing. From what ive seen myself its quite graphical. I think there was something about you need higher specs to install than to run it going round somewhere? imagine that.

Re: windows 7

I was running the release candidate (after the beta before the release to manufacturing) on my home laptop for ages and loved it. When the RTM became available on MSDN last week I grabbed it, and am using it on my home laptop, and in the process of moving my work desktop over to it.

Loving it, and glad to have a change from XP. Refused to touch Vista with a bargepole even though it was included as part of MSDN.
