Windows 7 pre-ordered

MikeS

aye xp wont recognise over 3gb on 32bit

Matt

My Ubuntu can use the full 4GB though, and it seems a bit faster. I'm quite looking forward to getting windows 7 now.

MikeS

yeh i could use 250gb hard drives on socket 7 motherboards with mandrake

Matt

Had to cancel my pre-order due to buying the new car. Will have to wait until after Xmas now until I upgrade.

Matt

Got my copy of Windows 7 this morning. Will be installing it tonight.

Got all the drivers etc last night, and made a start installing the apps I need. Office 2007 went in fine, AVG paid version, Firefox, Photoshop Elements 6.

Yep, can run OK on fairly low spec old machines.

Install from start to finish took about 20 minutes.

Matt

My Vista is running ok, I was looking into Windows 7

Matt

From using it for a few days, Windows 7 is a lot better than Vista.

I have found a few sites that when you come to download it says that the operating system is not compatible. I use Nokia Music store for my music and it won't let me download to my laptop. Works fine on my desktop PC that's running XP.

Matt

Is there a newer version of the Nokia software that will work with Windows 7?

thats not hard matt

i spend hours every week cracking hp laptops so they can accept xp installations due to the problems with vista and HP laptops not being backward compatible

windows 7 is better than vista but i think windows 2000 is better than vista 🙂

i have tried windows 7 and i am not that impressed tbh, a hell of a lot of teething issues and is usable for the every day web browser & office apps
