pill Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I've been using it since about june. Installed it on one of my 4 hard drives, xp resides on another. Since installing it i've used xp 3 times to get stuff out of my old email inbox but apart from that, 7 is great.if you know anybody at uni/tafe you can get it for $50 - www.itsnotcheating.com.au (you need a tafe/uni email address to be eligible)."Windows 7 - It's like all the good bits of vista with none of the gay" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 haha pretty cool. ive always been an xp user. until everything becomes win 7 compatible and built for windows 7 OS instead of being backwards compatiable i'd stay with xp. stable enough nothing really diff. wouldnt mind learning to use linux, i tried ubuntu for a bit but i just gave up after a while lol.and i would like a mac i missed out by a year frmo getting a MAC from my school. currently in yr 11 i think they started giving them out 2 yrs ago for yr 9ers.. and i was in yr 10 i think i dono some one do the maths Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevChelios Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I've had it on disk for a while, still haven't installed it yet, waiting to get another hdd but from what I've seen and heard its gonna be pretty kick ass. Hopefully will be way better than shite vista and will hopefully kick leopards arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DjDennis Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 ChevChelios I was just about to install it when the ms rep I see every month to get ms products told me this and a lot of people do not know as its something they rather keep quiet for nowbut I dont care if they do get chit from itI think its crap they didnt tell anyone before its installed anyway off to fix 2x vista systems and replace them with xp (thats the clients not me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pill Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Installed the cheap version (as mentioned above) of 7 last week and going well so far. Just as stable as the RC, it seems to be running fine and no bsods or rsods so far.Only pushed the system with a few DX9 games so far, will try DX10 when i get my hands on some dosh to buy CODMW2.This is on a core2e6600 (2.4g)/4gb ddr2/8800gt.It's really fast as well. I'd reccommend, its pretty stable with mainstream hardware cause of the extensive pre-release RC testing imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck_Choi Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 good stuff. ahah i heard of BSODS but redscreens of death never seen that before:P Dont think i want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjDennis Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Pill win7 comes with DX11 not 10so using it for games lol you will find that 99% wont work unless you change the compatibility mode to winxp sp3 and even then u may not get them to work 100%but hey your funeral when your so frustrated that you decide to break the game CD or reformat to use winxp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pill Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Cough backwards compatibility between directx cough coughi haven't encountered a game that doesn't work on win7, your problems would mainly be with old openGL based stuff which was iffy on xp anywayim not trying to defend win7 but really dennis perhaps try actually using something yourself before flaming it (and then ranting about copyright...)

amd180 Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Games not working on Windows 7 generally has nothing to do with DirectX. Its is simply a new operating system that is programmed differently and 95%+ of the games out there were NEVER developed to run in Windows 7. Hence why they have Windows XP compatablity mode. DirectX11 is fully backwards compatable. DirectX11 or any DirectX version for that matter is only any good if your video card supports it and if the game was made for it. Alot of the new games have the ablility to run in either DX10 or DX11 if it is supported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
