Windows 7, is it really worth it?

All I gotta say, Windows actually improved from Vista to 7, although I hate Microsoft. Windows 7 is a weak copy from Mac OS X and Linux "Crunch Bang"...

Its when they started copying mac again that things went badly wrong (i.e Vista).

Agreed

I have it for my main OS and I can't believe how fast it is. I am not normally a CRAZY PC fan but by far the best one they have made yet ;D

I'l Have Windows 7 on my laptop and it's Great , there are some small bugs in it but yeah . If you have XP i should stuck with that one , i'l never tried vista in my life , never , lol .You ask it's worth , wel tried it on virtual pc , maybe you will like it or you won't like it . Nobody can say if it's good or bad for you , you must like it your selfAlso IE8 works way better on Win7 then on my old XP machine , it even load some web page's faster than firefox does :O

Not sure if anyone heard it, but XP is shutting down beginning of 2010, only vista and 7 will be available. most software wont be compatible with XP anymore.
Damn you microsoft, i have to learn to use 7 now

it was bound to happen. when win 9 or up comes out vista and 7 will be discontinued too.

Windows XP has actually lived more than twice its original intended lifespan, partly because vista was a commercial failure.

H'a bit off:
I have a question about XP.When I was using Vista, it was able to recognize dual core but when I downgraded to XP, it only reports one core. What happened there?

Hmmm... So your using XP and it sys you only have one core? Okay, download a program called CPU-Z which will tell you everything about you processor! If CPU-Z says its dual-core (2 CORES) THEN

Download a program called CPU-Z (no it is not a virus) and check if it's dual-core. If it is, then there is something wrong with XP (Whcih you can resolve). If CPU-Z says that it is one cored and you are certain that it is dual-core (state your processors specs, etc.) then the program might have a problem or it is ture that it's only one core. It 's possible for a dual-core's 2nd core to be busted.Your best bet is to ue CPU-Z. If there is something wrong with XP, reply back!

Yesterday I was shopping in the kaufhof and I saw Windows 7 Ultimate for €299, I think the price is ridicoluos (How the F*ck do you write that word :S)

Ridiculous.Also windows has always been overpriced if you buy it retail. When it comes preinstalled on a PC the manufacturer subsidises it.one way around this is to buy it OEM (the system builder's version, you get a disc and a license, but no box or other paperwork). technically you're not supposed to, but as far as I'm aware, its not illegal, and it does cost less.

It's worth it for me, I got it for free.Hey, I can rhyme anytime.
I'm a poet and don't know it. :P

I should buy it over about 1 year
I schould download it now....

it's kinda worth for me too since i get it free while buying new laptop... better than vista...even tough i like XP better...

try win7 in the 64 bit version.

Windows 7 is just perfection...can you imagine directx 11?
