and yes I do like the lil BOSE, perfectly clear and just a tad too bassy, thank you very much Mr. BOSE, R.I.P.

What about the 7, though?

I'm sorry, but the price they're asking for those is just a crime against nature. Mr. BOSE [s]was[i] is a smart man. He knows how to exploit people.

Anyhow, I'm not going 7 until it's had some time to set. Perhaps six or so months. Just let it develop for a while, get all the bugs smacked, and so on.

Why is it every fucking thread I see you post in is about how good/bad speakers are, stop posting shit that only you seem to care about. So lame to have no life past ridiculing other people's music systems, go out.

I heard Captain Obvious is looking for an assistant.

What are the major noticeable differences between 7 and Vista?  Looking at screen shots, they look almost exactly the same.  I've delayed trying 7 out because I assume it will be very similar to my Vista x64 install, so why bother?

7 is basically Vista with an extra 100 horse power under the hood.

Odd to condone a personal attack, but if you think it's obvious you have no life and need to stop posting shit, that's far more disturbed then I care to comment on.

Any case, I played with the Beta but didn't pick up the RC. Just seems like another UI we'll get used to and begrudgingly accept that it's the way things are. Like every other OS, giving it a few months would be wise.

Edit: Now that I think about it, there is one gripe. They still don't have a direct link to network adapter settings. You have to right click the icon, go through the network and sharing center crap, then change adapter settings. It shouldn't be so roundabout, but at least it's 1 step shorter then Vista.

I hate it. I plan on using a currently 8 year old OS for the rest of my life because it's much faster and better and prettier and I love that disgusting green 'Start' button.

jkjkjklololololol

Win7 is the best OS Microsoft have put out yet, it's awesome. It's like Vista once they smoothed the bugs out, but then faster (considerably so in some cases) and with a bunch of tweaks and new features. I tested the first Beta that was released, and I've been using it as my sole OS with zero problems since the Release Candidates.

I wasn't immediately impressed with how the task bar has been redone, and I've never really liked the Start menu, or that cheap looking search bar replacing "Run..". I'm seeing some of the same messy UI navigation issues that I saw with Vista, making it seem like the operating system was made exclusively for uninitiated end-users, slowing down productivity for power users. I won't be using the RC as my primary operating system, as I prefer time-tested ones. I'm hoping that XP can keep doing everything I need to do until Windows 7 has had most of the birth defects ironed out.

I have been using 7 for a few months now, and it is great.

Not even going to bother arguing with XP is better people, you cant win.

Tested only in Virtual Machine, so i couldnt even turn the aero on... but still clean Win7 on VM boots much faster than my Vista 64 on my 4 cores processor with 4 GB ram... im gonna upgrade as soon as they release cr-

But it doesn't replace "Run". You can still have it in the start menu if you choose. I do. It's more customisable and you can set it up to be just like XP if you choose to. I don't see how you can claim the UI is slower for power users to use. Maybe for power users that can't be bothered to get to grips with it and set it up properly. Control panel is a little clunkier, I'll give you that, but that's about it. I find I can get things done quicker in Vista these days than in XP.

Things are different and it takes a bit of getting used to, because you need to learn new ways of doing things. If you can't be bothered, fair enough, but it's not the fault of the UI.

You may not agree with my opinion, but if you're going to attack it, please do not do so with assumptions. It seems somewhat arrogant to insinuate that anyone disagreeing with your opinion of the user interface is wrong.

Well you are wrong.

For a start you complain about not having "Run" on the start bar. It's only a few clicks to get it there.

Win + R TBH.

I use this shortcut myself. I was simply commenting on the UI.

When you say "for a start", it usually suggests that you have more to add. I'd like to see the rest, considering that the rest of your comments to my post were based in either an assumption that I hadn't taken the time to set up the operating system, or what seems to be a general belief that anyone who disagrees with your opinion on the matter is wrong, which is somewhat laughable.

Because XP will never be outdone. I hate all this fancy new interface, and methods to navigate through windows explorer are just a pain in the arse. The basic, simplistic interface is something that Ive been used to for years. I dont think it will change unless out of necessity.
Plus that and XP still is supported by a ton of older software etc.

I don't think I've ever read such arrogance and blatant ignorance before.  You should win an award for writing that...

Well said my man, well said.

Thank you, however, to my amazement, Specialist has outdone everyone once again.

"Slow as hell."  Obviously it's going to be slow on XP-era hardware, but I suppose it's to difficult for a person like you understand that, so you went and blew your savings on a Mac.  What a pity.
