Sorry to necro the thread but i have got hold of my win7 pro rtm copy and OMG!! its unreal.

Bare in mind I have a 2ghz amd with 2gb mem on my laptop... I can still load everything about a second quicker than vista could. couple things i have noticed

- when you have a window open press windows + down arrow to minimise the screen quick (double tap down to minimise all)
- windows + p gives you a connect to projector option :O

Also if you have a valid education address from a college or uni then you can get win7 for £30 :O google windows 7 £30 for more info

Such is the power i was installing vs2008 (on an xp virtual machine that with 1gb memory on it) and i still had the power of god for my apps

seriously impressed

I should have a uni email address again soon, so I'll probably get Win7

The question is - Home Premium or Professional?

Would I lose anything by going to Professional?

Compare the features and see what you want. Obviously the lower editions will run faster as standard as they dont have as much installed/enabled. Professional is fine for everyday use (thats what im on) Itunes occassionally has a hissie fit. But that's all.

Will lwt you know what I think in a few days, Im currently installing it on my lappy, cos I got it free from uni

Anyone else got their copy yet? Mine was waiting at home when I got back today! Surprised as they said it wouldn't be out yet, let alone being delivered early by posties on strike!

Might wait til the weekend before I install, RC just fine for now - although what I'm really waiting for is full TRIM support for the SSD.



edit: Seems I have the postal strike to thank for early delivery!! http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/new ... in-windows

Yea ive been running it stable for about a month now. Its awesome. Virtual Pc/Virtual Box both work a dream. RDC works with a virtual pc on the other end no problems.

Development is as quick as xp used to be

LOVE IT!!!!

If you want to play an old classic game you can't cause.. they are to old

got a think to register with MSI with my new laptop dunno when im gonna do it tbh

It would seem my Windows 7 Pro has just shipped. Looking forward to testing.

Ah the joys of being a student - Windows 7 pro for £35...... Got the email and everything, just needs some money to buy the bloody thing

Just ordered the ultimate edition...hope it's as good as everyone's been saying!

Fuck it... Were is my card?!

22%

OK Call me stupid but best say this just for education

Dont go thinking you can buy the 7 upgrade 64bit and use it to upgrade the 32bit XP you all have, cos it wont work... even with a few of the hacks about it causes major problems! So don't bother if thats what ya trying to do.. Like me lol.

Will need to do a clean install, just dont want to back it all up... pain in butt
