Anyone using Windows 7 yet? I got a new laptop on Monday and have been getting use to Windows 7. So far I like it. Until now I've been using XP. I even shut down my Linux server at home but I'll build a virtual Linux server on the new laptop to replace it.

I kind of wanted to get a Mac. A couple guys I work with use them and I've been checking their Macs out. I even stopped in the Apple store a couple times to look at them. When it came time to pull out the wallet I just couldn't justify the price.

I've been using it since the end of summer. WAY better than Vista.

What issues?
My mother-in-law had a MAC. You want to talk about issues? We couldn't get that thing to do anything the easy way.

I used to wheel a lot. . .

I used a Mac at work for a while. I found myself rebooting all the time. The thing kept locking up. It's all hype.

I just installed a Windows 7 Host and satelite system for my in laws. It was easy and everything works great. I run Vista 64 at home on my desktop and all our laptops. All run Vista 64 without problems or issues. I will have to upgrade at some point, but too many licenses for me at this point...

I think no matter what computer you use you will have problems if you aren't proficient at it. I'm on my second mac and all i can say is my first one " a laptop" still works like new! Had it for 5 yrs and never had a virus or any other issues. This spurred me to purchase an iMac for my illustrator and photoshop classes. So far so good, so hype, maybe pricey you betcha. But so far it has been worth it IMO.

Anyway this is a windows topic right? I heard its a lot better than the old one and being an XP user at work I am wishing they would upgrade us to 7. But not likely any time soon.

Sounds like Windows7 is going to be a winner for Microsoft. I've always avoided the temptation to upgrade since it requires more computer resources, but Windows7 seems to be an exception. Some people even claim it runs faster than Vista. They even added a new feature that will let your computer act as a wireless router. I'd probably never use the feature, but it sounds cool. Might wait for service pack 1.

I never used Vista but I've heard the same thing. I think Vista wasn't one of Microsoft's best moves - kind of like Windows ME.

Haha! I had Me, It wqas the worst thing ever!
Actually I haven't heard one single complaint about 7. So I assume all is going well?
They definately have lots of good advertisement for it.
