So whats windows 7 like atm?

Wait until the OS matures, because as of now it is a buggier mess than vista was(at least for me). Like other have said, vista 64 is the way to go right now.

Owne all 3 and imo its WINDOWS7 >>> XP>>>> Vista

No. It's not. Simple as that.

I don't care about benchmarks, I'm talking from experience, and 7 is faster thatn XP, I'm saying no more.

At first I was very impressed, loads quick and everything happens a lot faster. Framerates though not as high as xp were pretty damn close but then left 4 dead 2 started to get choppy after an hour or so of play, and red faction guerilla played too fast so I've gone back to xp64 for now. Windows 7 is now on the family computer which doesn't like it, explorer will randomly crash.

So, that's my experience. Should you upgrade? Yes, but not yet.

You are recommending an OS that only lasted 2 years and has already been replaced?FelipeInside

The only "buginess" I've come across in Win7 x64 is from the current Creative X-Fi drivers, because I have to shut down and restart my computer once every 24 hours or the sound gets crackly, and that problem wasn't there on the first set of Win7 drivers or the betas for x32, just the current x64 ones.

It's a great OS, but I feel like I'm running Vista 1.5, it doesn't feel like a major upgrade.Orrendamente

win 7 is the worst windows yet it will start up real fast and thats about all i can say positive about it any games mabe before about 2005 have all sorts of issues it crashes all time and for some retarded reason it seems to get viruses easyr than vista or xp so get vista 64 or stick to xp unless you like wasting money and want to have a crappy os

[QUOTE="CellAnimation"]WIndows 7 is like a nicely tweaked Vista. Anyone who tells you different hasn't used either operating system for any real amount of time, or has no idea about either. Compatibility is pretty much the same. Games that worked for me on Vista work just as well on Windows 7. Any issues I've had I've had on both OSes, and the fix for 1 worked on the other too. I'm not going to compare Windows Vista or 7 to XP as I beleive both to be very superiour to XP and I have no idea why anyone with a modern computer would use XP at all. I'm not intersted in starting a flame way here I just don't understand the hype for XP at all.artiedeadat40

Try Gothic 1 or 2 or Messiah with a Nvidia card. Try CoH, BF2, and a couple of more if you have a 59hz display. Try Qrack. There are a few games that dont run as well if at all under Windows 7 that worked fine in Vista.

Saying that Windows 7 is a tweaked Vista is putting it pretty mildly. There are some significant differences like WDDM 1.1, the way that memory is addressed, DX11 support, SSD support, and there is more.

Support for Windows XP ends April 8, 2014. Looks like you're going to make the move to Vista or 7 no matter what.

Wow guys, look at all these responses, its been great reading all your opinions on 7.

I've actually upgraded to windows 7 64bit recently and im liking it very much.

Thanks to everyone.

If anyone else wants to add their opinions or thoughts/experience on 7 feel free, its always good to see what people think ^_^

I agree with Frenzyd. Vista 64 for me had problems reading graphics drivers, crashed periodically, and bogged down when running diagnostics.

Windows 7 is the true descendant of XP.:)

I still use XP

7 is alright. It's basically a version of Vista that works a little more efficiently. 7 uses about the same amount of system resources that Vista does, but with the latest ram and cpus this really isn't that big of a deal. XP is still a more efficient os, but it's becoming outdated. If you want to maximize your ram, Windows 7 64bit is a no brainer. Windows 7 is also pretty good at flawlessly recognizing your hardware and suggesting the latest drivers for said hardware.

works perfect for me. all my old games work great. I had problems with KOTOR 1 & 2 with Vista and then I got Windows 7 and they work perfectly with no problems.

Best OS of all time.

upgraded from vista, best thing i ever did.
