I'm not running it because the current RC lacks a mail client.
I used Vista's default Windows Mail --------------------   |

Funnily enough, I'm downloading it now.
I've heard some great reviews, and I've been meaning to get it for a while. --------------------  |

...until 7 is finally done

XP works fine so far, why fix what ain't broke.
When it does break and I have an excuse for an overhaul, I'll get it. Till then I can't really be arsed to do it just yet. --------------------  Proud producer of the  forum family |

QUOTE (Prophet of the Pimps @ 7 Jun 2009, 1:18)  What? I have it running on my netbook and i just installed it on a old p4 with 512 mb of ddr1 ram and it ran as good as xp. Also October 22nd is the release. As much as it's probably useful on such an old tower of mine (P4 @ 2.4 GHz, 1.5 GB of DDR SDRAM PC2100), I decided that I'll just wait until I build my new tower which is gonna be comprised of at the minimum 4 GB of DDR2 800 RAM, an AMD Phenom II X4 940/955 Black Edition on an ASUS M4A78 Plus motherboard. I know what I'm building in the near future and I might as well use what I have now because what isn't broken shouldn't be fixed. As much as I'm unhappy with my tower now...it has given me plenty of years of service with XP. --------------------   Member of Ascended Warriors, A Path Beyond Division -- {AW}Ascendancy |

Dunno why I'm not running it, probably because I got used to Windows Vista Ultimate.

How does Win7 handle audio? Is it similar to Vista (in handling audio streams)?

The three rule of upgrading to a new OS:
if your system is running good and you have no plans upgrading your hardware or move to a new computer. - don't make a change. if you upgrade your computer with new memory or add a harddisk that works good with your current OS. - dont't make a change. if you buy a new pc our make a huge upgrade (motherboard, cpu, gpu and memory). - look at it and make a choice for yourself  People that are trying the last development version have a change that they are getting a error or BSOD so they have much work to get it going (im not going to try it so upgrade in early 2010) and with the thing 'its running smoother' or 'its just shiny' are retarded to say because thats a opinion and no reason. People, think about a good reason why i should upgrade to windows 7. for me OS == OS, it's just operates your system and nothing else, so windows 7 is for me the same like vista and xp because windows 7 operates the system only in a other way then windows xp and that fluffy stuff like a beautiful glass taskbar ? not important for me. BTW, benchmarks show me that windows 7 is equal preforming like windows xp. link bechmark -------------------- "If Microsoft, 20 years ago, built Windows in an open way, Linux wouldn't exist, and millions of programmers would be improving Windows rather than competing with it."

QUOTE (blowthebullet @ 3 Jun 2009) What about the new DX11 API, is this only going to work on windows 7 ? and what is so special about it because ATI has shown his first GPU (RV870) to the public that support DX11 and i hope that it will not be dx10 scenario over again like: you must buy win7 for DX11 etc... DirectX 11 will be for Windows Vista as well as Windows 7. QUOTE (Pickysaurus @ 7 Jun 2009) I'm not running it because the current RC lacks a mail client. I used Vista's default Windows Mail Microsoft removed Windows Mail because they'd prefer you get Windows Live Mail instead. They did the same with Windows Photo Gallery (7 comes with Windows Photo Viewer instead) and Windows Movie Maker. |

They did the same with Windows Photo Gallery (7 comes with Windows Photo Viewer instead) and Windows Movie Maker. This reduces bloat in the OS as not everybody used those programs. Now they are optional downloads from Windows Live. A smart move I would say. |
