I know different people running 7 and they are happy too. It's that whole first Gen OS/Vista cluster that has me worried regardless.

IF I were to buy something with Vista I'd just dump XP over it. But I'll sit tight and wait for 7, since it's coming out in a few days and I wasn't going to buy it this week.

One person? Dude you need to get out more.

Oh, and you can make that count at least 2. ;)


(unless you are a stickler for the RTM version)

I wonder of it is the same person? ;)

Hasn't it been MS's history that they get every other OS (mostly) right?

Working backwards:
Vista: Sucks
XP: Not bad
ME/2000/whatever other name they used*: sucked
98: not bad

* Yes, I know these were different OS's and that there some other ones worked in there. But in my conversations with other propeller-heads, they tend to get lumped together.

Good point Kevy.

Since I am waiting anyway I'll be able to hear initial reviews from non-techies. The only people I know who liked Vista were techie people.

So, back to what I should do.

I think I am going to stick with my "basic desktop with a huge HD" to be used as a file server" plus "laptop for daily use" plan. And buy a TB external drive for redundancy/back up.

Though I could just get by with keeping all my music on the laptop (with a large HD) and an external drive. I just want the second computer to run my printer, networking stuff, blah blah blah. Just easier.

If a genuine propeller-head mixes up Windows Me and Windows 2000, they need to turn in their beanie! Windows Me was a POS but Windows 2000 was wonderful. The letter being aimed at the corporate/IT crowd, the former being their "consumer version".

Oooh slap that bitch down. :D

Happy Windows 7 Day!!

You'll want to have a gander at all the new Windows 7 hardware...

Oh. crap.

Huh. Not quite the response I was expecting.
