I’ll keep this short, check out my comment for the poor reviewer if you’re dumb enough to take him seriously. If you want real reviews, look at other listings of vista ultimate.

I believed the hype from Microsoft that Windows 7 was ‘better’ or ‘fixed’, ‘more stable’ . . . whatever, so I bought it. First it is sooooo different from XP that it is difficult to navigate. I had to search the internet for instructions to do the simplest of tasks.

I’ve been running 7 for about 3 or 4 months. I get a blue screen of death about every week or two. The most recent example was yesterday morning. I started to upload a youtube video, went away to have breakfast and came back to a blue screen of death. It’s not like I was doing anything complicated, just one IE window open and one upload happening. I’m so disappointed.

Speaking of Internet Explorer, it crashes more than in XP. It just stops working, dims, shows that it’s thinking and won’t let you do anything for minutes. A company that can not even get a web browser to work right has no business selling an operating system. It’s time to upgrade to Firefox.

XP is pretty good. I use that at work everyday. I bought a laptop with Vista. That sucked soooooo bad that I ditched Vista completely and installed Ubuntu. I’ve had no problems with Ubuntu. I’m going to upgrade to Ubuntu on my desktop(the one with Windows 7 on it now). I will also never be purchasing another Microsoft product, hardware or software. I can’t financially support a company that charges for such crappy products.

Ubuntu and Firefox are where it’s at.

Thanks to Brian’s feedback I’m giving Win7 another star when you compare it to XP! If you have XP and are considering an upgrade, and don’t want to switch (and shell out at least $599 for a base MacMini) then definitely GET Windows7. If you have Vista, it might not be worth the upgrade.

An operating system is supposed to help you operate your system, and while Windows 7 is a leap forward in terms of UI, it is nowhere near as polished as Mac OS X. I bought this to run on my Mac in BootCamp and while it runs great — no crashes, and very few lockups after about 2 weeks — it simply doesn’t deliver the whole UI I’d expect out of a product this expensive compared to the main competitors. (Mac OS X Snow Leopard is about $130 with iLife and iWork. ) If we were to compare OS to OS in terms of what does a better job it all comes down to 3 things: speed, configuration and looks. Windows 7 is a step forward in all three compared to Vista or XP, but lags behind OS X 10. 6.

PROS:
I liked Aero (the new interface) compared to older versions of Windows. It’s a bit cleaner and runs fast on a NVidia 9400M and a 8800 GTS graphics processor. A lot of control panels are made simpler to modify. It doesn’t nag you like Vista does. Setting it up is simpler in most cases than it was before 7. If you prefer Windows to Mac after using both, this is more of the same. Audio controls are much more flexible. Small refinements throughout the OS.

CONS:
Many control panels like the networking one have configuration settings buried up to 4 windows deep. Help is still not very helpful. It should give you results targeted to what you want to do on the first page but often you ned to click 2 or 3 pages in to find an answer. And Help is written like a manual, in all the worse meanings. Bitlocker is nice but the caveats to using it are too numerous to make it ready for prime time.

( Screen redraw problems with some apps had me switching to a classic interface. That could have been a driver/program interaction issue though, so I’m not dinging Aero on that. )

Windows 7 VS. OS X
A friend of mine hates the Mac OS interface, but I don’t think she’s actually ever used it. And this is the rub. If you’ve never used OS X, Windows 7 is fine. The interface is not a polished as the Mac’s but then you’d be spending a bit more for the hardware to get those niceties.

Screen real estate is also optimized on OS X, whereas Windows had me scratching my head at some of their stylistic choices.

But the Mac makes up the price where it really counts: in configuration. If you have used it and tried to configure anything out of the box the contrasts are huge. Configuring things for the Mac is usually only buried 1 or 2 levels down in the System Preferences window. With 7 the same exact controls/config settings might be buried 3 or 4 levels down. Also Windows 7′s help, previously mentioned can’t do what Mac’s help does: It highlights the control panel you want when you type in its System Prefs search box. This is a boon to neophyte users. In windows you need to know the exact name for something, but with that search box it’ easy to find what configuration setting you’re looking for.

Windows 7 took a long time just to install it’s Antivirus software, and I thought it hung a few times. I also accidentally unmounted a CD during install and the system locked up for about 10 minutes. But at least it didn’t crash.
On the Mac things just work — there’s usually no drivers to install (because they’re included in the OS), but Windows 7 out of the gate looks pretty good. I was able to install printer drivers with limited fuss.

All in all the Mac OS X is easier to use, operate and on the eyes.

Speed wise they’re both fast, but the Mac OS X’s handling of user input is faster. You simply get more and better quality feedback for OS X than you do Windows 7.

Windows 7 vs. Vista
Using Windows 7 is okay too. Sure the command line has been renamed the “powershell” or something, but when you need to get to a C: prompt you can. Really, 7 is just a new version of Vista, and it’s a minor update. MS looks like they changed a few things in Vista and slapped a “7″ sticker on it. Like I said before, 7 doesn’t nag you like Vista does about opening things. It usually asks you once and then gets out of the way.

CONCLUSION:
Windows 7 is a nice entry into modern OSes, but rough edges and odd choices keep me from recommending it over OS X for anyone but the must hard core Windows fan. The few hundred dollars in comparable hardware costs is eliminated once you get a decent version of Windows 7. Oh and get ultimate — it’s the only full blown version with the best features. If you have a PC that will run 7 and are currently running XP, it’s a no-brainer, get Windows 7, it’s pretty nice.

Hello again there folks, Hi,

I want to tell you about how cool not paying $300 some dollars for windows 7 Ultimate is. Well It’s Grrreat! I paid roughly around $180. 00 for The 64 bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate. Why it was so cheap? Well there is no 32 bit option on the disc or package. And it is a 1 pack OEM product. Meaning just that, It is a single package at 64 bits only no bells or whistles but what comes on the OS. Anyhoo Windows 7 ultimate is the only way to go if you are planing on an OS upgrade. DUH it’s not for MAcs. I had Vista Home Premium and it was OK, no really. I like it a lot. I bought this and then installed it on the same PC. It kept ALL my document files which IS SUPER COOL. I backed them up just in case it was a nice surprise. it did get rid of vista 32 bit completely. Aside from the document files i. e. pictures, music. it also kept the old Program files. they are useless but if you need to pull plugins or something it comes in handy. you will have to reinstall programs onto it afterwards so i would just delete the old OS programs. Cut and past you old OS documents into the new OS’s documents and it’s kinda like you preserved and upgraded. Pretty cool.

Winders 7 has a lot those little features that make it even greater than Vista. the snap features that snap to either whole or side is pretty great but only for the sides. Though the Top snap that makes your window go full frame is ANNOYING at times. you aren’t trying to snap it and there it goes snapping. Something you can easily overcome. The side snapping is awesome! Except if you are running dual monitors because they will only snap at the end of each monitor. . . And you have to practically shove them completely out of view to the edge. Yeah so they will be really, really far apart when using an extended desktop with dual monitors. The feature for this set up is not good when you want to write a letter to reply or compare 2 different things at once you really want them to be right next to each other not a screen apart. this can easily be overcome as well. Just make the window closer to the center of both screens shorter and raise/strech drag the top to THE TOP and it will automatically snap if you have it in one monitors corner.

Program docking to your task bar is also very convenient, yess LIKE ON A MAC task bar. Who cares if they copied it, it’s a good thing. I’m out of time hope that was useful! for some. . . I also found that some things i really liked about Vista are GONE, completely! Well I don’t miss them much but they were nice to have. I’m out of time I say! 7 is Prettier though from everywhere. The icons are also much larger as are the thumbnails. I like how you can openly pic an icon for your PC or trash can now, yeah it’s a personalized option. but you have to download the icons first. It doesn’t quite work for the trash as it is suppose to change when it is empty. i chose MO from Wall-e when i empty the trash his light stays lilt. . . Hmmmm. Please fix this peoples. I made my computer Wall-e and my network that bad wheel. I tried to make my music folder Eva but that FAILED apically! You can’t change THAT ICON! What gives man??? What a bummer. You cannot change a LOT of Icons! You can’t tease like that pretending you can customize but then it’s only for A FEW things, SUCKS Microsoft! I wanna be able to change all my Icons. I’ma download Barbie NEXT!

Lastly before I go however, because I am totally out of time. i want to talk about the BOGUS windows updates that crash my PC during startup. What is up with that? I frequently get these random updates automatically and if I shut down they get installed then the next time I use my PC it has to fix windows! WTF? Really? And then my Norton 2010 antivirus says I’m not protected and there is a whole bunch of crap I have to do to secure my PC again. IDK what is up with that. I don’t visit any places that are THOSE types of sites for a reason but somehow I’m getting viruses or malware, something.

Remember when Windows Vista came out? And do you remember all those horror stories about Windows Vista and how bad it apparently was? And do you remember how you believed them without even trying Windows Vista for yourself? (c’mon, admit it. )

And now that Windows 7 is out, you’ve installed it and absolutely love it, right? In other words, you’re following the same path as all the rest who said, “Windows Vista sucked but Windows 7 is awesome”. It’s all cool and wonderful and awesome, right? And best of all, it’s a whole new version of Windows, right?

Everywhere you read, Win7 is a huge hit. “Microsoft got it right this time”. After all, just look at the high ratings it’s getting her eon Amazon comapred to Vista’s ratings.

So here’s the Windows 7 challenge:

1. Name a Win7 feature that can’t be found in Vista.

2. Name an example where Win7 is actually more stable than Vista.

3. Other than extremely minor cosmetics, name the major GUI interface change that makes Win7 any different than Vista.

4. And just to really drive it home, explain why Vista and Win7 use the same exact device drivers.

But you still love Windows 7 and hated Vista, right? Of course you do – it’s cool, it’s new, it’s hip, and it’s oh so much better than Vista.

Time for the reality check:

Running the “winver” command, or typing “ver” (and hitting enter) in a Windows command prompt shows you that Windows Vista is Windows version 6. 0.

Now do the same on a Windows 7 machine. You will notice that Windows “7″ is actually Windows version 6. 1.

That’s right – the Windows 7 that you think is so cool and new is actually very much still Windows Vista, version 6. The “new” version of Windows didn’t even rank a version number change. The “x. 1″ change in the version number means pretty much nothing at all (but you can call it “Vista point 1″ if you like).

Don’t get me wrong, Win7 is a great OS. My point is that Vista was also equally as great of an OS the whole time that many of you were fooling yourselves into believing that it wasn’t because, well, it very much WAS the same OS.

And for you trivia fans: Microsoft has done this before. You might remember that Windows 2000 (Windows v5. 0) didn’t sell well at all – it got the same unfounded negative propaganda treatment as Vista. So, they slapped some lipstick on it and sent it back out the door as Windows XP (Windows v5. 1). Run the commands, see for yourself. In other words, Microsoft is now clearly in the habit of releasing the same OS twice – the first release is rejected and the second release is accepted – and with virtually no new changes or features.

Because people are actually that stupid, Microsoft has to be that smart.
