Not sure if this belongs in this board, but figured you guys would know the most about it. Im thinking of upgrading my OS from XP 32bit, to Win7 64bit, but not quite sure if there is any major differences between the versions of 7. So is there any real benefits of getting any other version then Win7 Home Premium?

I would have to say if you are happy with XP and everything works fine is there really a point to a move to WIN7. DX11 is nice but nothing huge. And many of the other things that come with 7 are also nice but XP is still a good stable (for the most part) OS. Upgrading runs you into the problem of you cannot upgrade a 32 bit OS into a 64 bit OS. It dousnt work that way with windows. As for Win7 versions unless you plan on having a server and doing a real home network instead of P2P stuff then Home Edition should be fine. Sure it lacks some of the extra MS features but most of those "features" can be regained by using third party applications. Also make sure your Hardware can Run 7. Atleast 4gb RAM is good. Dual core cpu also. Windows is a resource hog on its own.

Home Premium is the only one worth buying for 99.9999999% of people. Ultimate is just stupidity.

So by your logic because my old Pontiac still ran OK, I shouldn't have junked it and bought a new car, even tho it had 150k miles on it? You can't stay on XP forever. Move on.

@Rhamsus easy dude, stop bullying others. I recently upgraded from XP and honestly win 7 is nice, lots of nice and somehow useful features, but nothing groundbreaking. I mean you can still use XP and you wont mess that much,

Your logic is flawed. All your base are belong to us.Jk If I were to "move on" it would be to linux solely. Until steam gets ported to linux though Ill have to wait.

Because of proprietary applications and systems that will not run on newer operating systems. This has been stated by M$ multiple times, in their support extensions for XP. Check the link if you're interested.

Win 7 is far superior to winxp. I made the jump about 6 months ago and I haven't looked back since.

Exactly! DING! You win. I didnt really need the link. I already knew that, I was trying to make an example. Sometimes its not worth going to the latest and greatest when the thing you have works good and fine and does what you want. XP was a good OS. 7 just seems to instable and annoying at times. Always asking what I want and holding my hand through the control panel. One reason why alot of work PCs still use Xp is because you know network and system admins know the OS know its stable and like it. That and licenses for windows versions arnt free. You seem like the kind of person who likes the latest and greatest who can pour hours into making something run just because its new. Well most people who work with computers rather have something they know works. Win7 isnt old enough for most ppl to know it well since vista was a major failure so that left XP in charge.

I woulnd't call it that big of a jump. Win 7 is more dynamic and more gimmicky, but as I said nothing ground breaking. May be because I'm still at the early stages of using it.

The argument for companies not to move, does not apply to end users. It's silly to even try. If you can upgrade on the cheap you should upgrade. Furthermore, how can you say it "seems" unstable and annoying" when you haven't put enough time in to know for sure? I have yet to have a BSOD on it since it came out. In my experience, we call that stable. You also slightly missed the mark on who you think I am from a professional standpoint. If it wouldn't get me fired I would divulge my employer and position.

I'm not moving to Windows 7 till there's a good reason. I haven't had one yet. Win7 is a great OS and I look forward to moving on when the time comes. But for now, XP does me just fine.

Once you become as proficient with 7 as you were with XP, it is much much better and easier.

There are plenty of people who would keep that old Pontiac till it died on the road, doesn't make them wrong, but for me and many others its not worth staying so far behind the curve.

I have no idea what you are insinuating with that. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to compare an operating system to a car. Operating systems don't tend to crap out on you when they get old. Sure you could argue that software developers eventually stop supporting them, but we are nowhere near that point yet.

I compared upgrading an aging operating system to upgrading to a new car... The light on for you, was a reference to Motel 6....

xp is dead, that's just how it is. any half decent gaming machine has 4GB of RAM these days and i wouldn't inflict xp64 on my worst enemy. xp was great at the time, and was great for 5 years, but things move on.

Most of em suck I think. Though I like some of the WW2 ones especially the ones where they used real explosives and stuff for effects. Unlike todays ugly CGI everywhere.

Just so you know, windows 7 is faster than windows xp.

Also I've had this windows 7 machine running for about 6 months now and I have yet to get a bsod. Thats the first time I have ever had a span that long.

This is the most significant POSITIVE change for me since going from win 3.11 to win95.

Give linux a try. No BSOD ever. Runs great. As for the speed proof? Win7 stability isnt just with BSOD and such. I have had one BSOD but I just disregarded it as some error that could be ignored. I have had 7 for months now. I have found that programs like to go into the not responding state. Especially older ones. I dont like that. I mean I REALLY DONT LIKE THAT. I like playing my old games. RA2 wont even run. What can I say. Every OS sucks.http://www.deadtroll.com/index2.html?/video/ossuckscable.html~content I cant stand old horror movies. It makes no real sense to me. Most of the monsters move as fast as a retired tortoise and ppl could just jog away and live to jog another day. But thats what ppl liked back then.

What about the chick in the slasher flick that leaves the chainsaw on the ground instead of ripping the maniac apart, or runs upstairs instead of out the door.....i think all horror movies suck to an extent, because they require stupid people to center around.

Not all of them suck to an extent. Zombieland and the Cottage I thought were pretty good. Thats my kind of horror. It has the lulz and the horrorz

Zombieland was fun,. but that's only because I love zombie's and await the day we will bow to them. Cottage? Never heard of it.

Not all of them suck to an extent. Zombieland and the Cottage I thought were pretty good. Thats my kind of horror. It has the lulz and the horrorz

Zombieland was fun,. but that's only because I love zombie's and await the day we will bow to them. Cottage? Never heard of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cottage_(film) Maybe we should stop this. Its getting a little bit off topic.

[QUOTE="KLONE360"]This guys is declaring war on XP and anything older then 5 min.KLONE360

Just so you know, windows 7 is faster than windows xp.

Also I've had this windows 7 machine running for about 6 months now and I have yet to get a bsod. Thats the first time I have ever had a span that long.

This is the most significant POSITIVE change for me since going from win 3.11 to win95.

Give linux a try. No BSOD ever. Runs great. As for the speed proof? Win7 stability isnt just with BSOD and such. I have had one BSOD but I just disregarded it as some error that could be ignored. I have had 7 for months now. I have found that programs like to go into the not responding state. Especially older ones. I dont like that. I mean I REALLY DONT LIKE THAT. I like playing my old games. RA2 wont even run. What can I say. Every OS sucks.http://www.deadtroll.com/index2.html?/video/ossuckscable.html~content I cant stand old horror movies. It makes no real sense to me. Most of the monsters move as fast as a retired tortoise and ppl could just jog away and live to jog another day. But thats what ppl liked back then.

I never really got into linux more than a casual curiousity. And when I said no bsod for 6 months being the longest I've ever seen, that applies to windows boxes in the home. I've seen some computers that have been working flawlessly for years and years.

The only stability issue I've really noticed is that for whatever reason when I shut down the computer a program or 2 will suddenly delay the shut down because it stopped responding. Which doesnt really affect me since, I just force shut down and viola.

Oh, I also cannot get Doom3 to work properly with patch 1.3 on my windows 7 64bit machine. But I've only put like 30 minutes into as I don't really care about doom3.

*edit: Now that I think about it, doom3 always had problems no matter what machine I put it on it seems. Back when it came out I spent hours and hours trying different drivers and whatnot to see if I could get doom to work the way it was meant to.

Well yes there are differences....a link right to MS would have been more beneficial

Hooray for Bitlocker and Language support! For the everyday end user the is no point in purchasing anything other than Home Premium. Stick with the context of the OP's post Mr. Snarky.

on key difference is home only supports 16gb ram while the other two support 128gb. Could be a factor in the future but for now home is fine if you don't plan on doing secure networking and don't need xp mode.

xp mode is cool for those random times when some software doesn't work, only used it for one program for my church so far. The RAM issue hopefully won't be a problem for years, I mean heck i remember thinking more than a gig was overkill just 6 or so years ago

@Rhamsus

Not trying to be snarky, just letting the OP make the decision for himself.
