They want to keep with the OSX marketing. Vista sucks thats why theres a clear, FREE upgrade path to 7 if you buy a store bought pc now. Vista is still a heavily used OS anyway. If it was this or vista it'd be this. If it were xp or this, it'd be xp. And if either two fail, Im fucking it all and going linux.

Mac was never good, never will be, and never is a wise choice.

I'd rather stick with Vista personally. I'm dual booting ubuntu and 7 and all 7 does is give me nvidia driver crashes all over the fucking shit place except for when in games, go fucking figure.

Fuck you Microsoft.

I'm getting my hands on a copy of Vista 64bit Ult and I'm never going to look at windows 7 again, not until there are Nvidia drivers exclusively for win7.

Ah ok, well I would never buy an OS, without waiting for some patches. OH WAIT. I would never buy a OS xD Im running a black edition modded XP with some niffty toys. But when W7 rolls out, Im definitely waiting till the storm passes of possible complaints, and their first Service pack roles out to quell some if not most of them. Although doubt it'll do it at one go.

Fuck Microsoft for selling out and making anti virii companies donkey punch us cause it'd be a good lucrative venture. Although thats what happens when you have an OS that is possible to break but still fix easily enough.

You didn't upgrade to RC? And there are driver issues, friend had some problems having Hamachi to work properly with the OS and the ethernet port, works fine in XP. Then again not everything is 100 percent compatible, thats why they do give the virtual box of xp with the full system.

I'm using the RTM version, build 7600.
Of course you can't expect everything to be fully compatible, since it's still new.
Look at Snow Leopard for example.

Linux => User Enemy
Windows XP => User Friendly
Windows Vista => Memory & External Hardware Enemy
Windows 7 => XP with Vista's graphics & User Friendly
Mac => User Friendly

So far the best OSs out there are MAC and XP, maybe 7, but i never used it much.

Linux is cool and all, but its useless if you use lots of windows softwares.
(And no, don't say that there are generic versions of it for linux. Usually there is not, not to mention most suck.)
Besides, as i said, its a pain on the ass to make it work the way you want.
You are bound to find errors, and incompatibilities.

I've used 7 since the first beta build came out, and have used it in total on three different computer builds (two nvidia, one ati). Haven't at a problem on any of them, and in my experience Windows 7 has been more stable than either Windows XP or Vista, looks better than either, and has much better security (e.g. better uac).

WTF are you talking about? it owns vista any day.

I got the offical w7 rc from MS and already got the key for the up comming release.. all i gotta do is d/l it from msdn.

XP is good, but sadly its out dated. MS stopped supporting it so its time to move on.

Smart choice for those free upgrades for people who buy PCs today. They know most of those people are morons and don't know how to install an OS so they'll be spending money at geek "porn" squad cutting MS in on the deal. Assholes own prolly a chunk of best buy anyway

Windows Seven is what Vista should have been, but due to a lack of patience...

Oh well. Also, I quite dislike the argument that Seven and Vista are supposed to look better. There's programs with fucktons of themes that you can apply to Windows, making it look a lot better than any of Microsoft's default skins.

For all I know and care, W7 rocks when compared to my computers previous state with Vista. I'm pretty fine with the RC, so I'll wait a bit before actually buying W7, to see if the end of the rush calms down the prices.

Get Quad SLI and watch the sparks fly. Pop in two 8800 Ultras GX2s or 295s and you'll see how Nvidia and Microsoft still can't release stable high end drivers for extreme high end systems like mine.

Well, I don't think Mac is the best option for gamers, also, it's a waste to buy a Mac only to run Windows on it with Bootcamp, it's a both Software and Hardware bargain. I don't think I will use Windows in daily uses because it's too buggy for me, While both systems has it's own users.

Windows 7 is WIN! The only problem is that my webcam is not compatible, not to mention that when the trial runs out in 1 year, I wont be able to use it anymore. Also, it was very hard to get my servers to run, I had to turn off the firewall because it sucks with security, they think the average user is a dumb ass, so they make it really hard to make security exceptions, such as ports, I couldnt find a way to open a single port in the firewall, only programs. It looks win and it uses direct x 10 which is win with bioshock. The smoke looks real :D

They are but they suck. Gamers like myself are having numerous problems with them. Believe me, they are.
And yes the driver download thing is just generic. All the drivers are compatible but, however. It's just "broad" support for win7 currently. Nvidia is holding out on a huge Win7 addition till Directx11 is finalized for Win7.
