Your opinion on Windows 7?

Since right now, I can pre-order it for only $50, I want to know your thoughts on it. Is it a great improvment from Vista or just a little change in looks. Any new features that are cool with Windows 7? Is it worth the $50. Any improvments to gaming? Thanks for any imput.

Is it bloatware like Vista?

Surely it doesn't require even more RAM for comfortable use?

it says the upgrades depend on your version of vista. and i need ultimate upgrade cause i have vista ultimate... is there an ultimate upgrade or what?

Better than vista,i still think they should have made it much much cheaper..and im talking about the full package,not the upgrade option which hardly anyone uses as its prone to giving you more problems than a simple format and full installation.

I am using Windows 7 RC right now and I must say, no problems at all. Apart from a few compatibility issues with applications including Crysis.

I think Widnows 7 is basically a fixed up OS of Vista. But maybe Vista SP2 will come out soon but Windows 7 is probably the obvious choice.

I don't like the Explorer interface in Vista or 7.. that's really what bothers me the most. But 7 is asolid 64-bit platform with some real support, and it seems to run a lot better than Vista. The few problems I had when I first tried it were fixed in the newer build I downloaded (on 7100 now) and I haven't had any problems with this one so far.

It's awesome. Get it. Now.

Don't get the Win 7 hype, Vista has been great for ages, and they are basically charging a full price for a tweaked Vista, I got both I dual boot, Win 7 is basically Vista. Peopel are so un-informed and ignorant when it comes to Vista.penorburger

I upgraded from the Beta to the Release client and truly think it runs worse. I had no problems witht he Beta but now when using FlightsimX I am getting an out of memeory error when flying that I never got in the Beta build. I was loving Windows 7 but now I am rethinking it.

I like W7 a lot but it does use half a gig more ram at rest than XP does.

Vista was just the next "Windows ME"... a poorly performing stopgap between two "serious" OS releases.

Sticking with Vista is like saying "No, you can keep your XP... I'm gonna stick with Windows ME".

im running w7 as my main OS right now and think its the best windows yet. it found driver automatically at start up to an old old wireless card that took my 2 hours of searching on the internet for with vista.
