I'm installing it soon, only because something fucked up with Vista. My Vista was running perfectly without a hitch but something fucked up and I need to either get XP, Vista, or try Windows 7. For the record I like Vista quite a bit (after tweaking some options though.)

Switching because Windows 7 is easy to get a hold of.



God the lady in this video is as bad as that Nintendo lady at E3.

I might try it soon but I'm afraid my install will mess up.

but it's not like i have much to lose since i only play tf2 on windows

I installed it, and then got rid of it. I would rather have the few gigs of harddrive than another OS since I'm already running Vista, XP and Ubuntu. And I always just end up using Vista or XP anyways.

Did you try it though? The real test is actually using it as your main OS.

I messed around with it for like an hour.

I've got a copy of it sitting right here on my desk, right next to my Ubuntu 8.10 disk.

I haven't used either yet.

I switched to it but I guess you can't install it by itself, you have to upgrade from a version of Windows to it? That blows. It looks nice, used it for about five minutes now.

Yeah, I really wonder why they did that.

I really really like Windows 7.  giggle;

HOLY SHIT NEW CALCULATOR!

SINE COSINE AND TANGENT!

I think i may upgrade when It's finished

I don't know if something from Vista is acting up on my computer but it seems that my computer now shuts down randomly. Don't install Windows 7 unless you can delete the OS without any trouble or whatever.

>.<

NO SHUT UP.
WINDOWS 7 HAS THE NEW FEATURE OF TRIG FUNCTIONS FUCK YEAH

I am really looking forward to Windows 7 and Office 14.

I'm using Ubuntu, I don't want Windows 7.
Or XP
or Vista

Can somebody explain to me how the themes system works on Win7? Do the themes change tons of things like window border style and font and whatever? Or do they just change the texture or the window borders or something like that?
I personally would like to stick with Royale-like themes.

also,

Those thumbnails are all I've been able to find when searching. Though, the ones I've seen before are all like the top row.

Also, is it possible to install Windows 7 without having a DVD burner, by using something like Daemon Tools to mount the ISO? The splash screen I see when I mount the iso seems to mention being able to upgrade from an existing installation of Windows without booting from the DVD, but something makes me think it'd at one point tell me that it needs to restart the computer mid-installation then do something in a way that Daemon Tools wouldn't be able to help with.

I believe Engadget was able to do it with a USB thumb drive with the Vaio P, or something like that.

I hope that's true and that they're still on track for a release sometime this year.  baddood;

I was able to install Vista on my laptop using Daemon tools.
