I fail to see the relevance to system wars, but I do prefer windows 7 over vista, just an overall cleaner operating system.

Mr_BillGates

Well, Mac will never sell as much as Win, i think that is no surprise, it's a shame because it's a fine product too, i hope i can buy a MacBook later this year.

I only tried Vista at work, never had it on my PC because i though it was awful, and i was (and still) loyal to XP, however, i have to admit that Win 7 is quite good, and i haven't had much of a problem with it, so yeah, i'm a proud member of those 90 000 000.

That's a very impressive figure, considering how long Windows 7 has been released and how many free copies of Win 7 have been given out for free across the globe at universities.

Still sticking to XP. Once they make an optimized OS that doesnt eat up 1 gig of ram, then I'll think about switching.

Licenses sold. You could download a pirate copy and unlock it with a license.... and there was the build of it that was free for quite a while, even after release. I think various cheap licensing initiatives is one reason sales have been this large.

This along with apple's patents, which is pretty much causing a monopoly for furture tech. Just looking at the list is pretty painfull thinking they could get away with that,

Windows 7 sucks... Still using XP.

Waiting for a better OS... Something that doesn't bury my system tools in 500 pages of crap and have a ton of issues with games that arnt even 2 years old.

The OS uses the RAM simply because it's FASTER than using the HDD. Don't bash the OS because you can't figure out how to run the game :roll: System Tools is pretty much the same. Haters have to switch by 2014 anyway when security updates are dead for XP.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

And...

Yes, System tools are just about the same. The only difference is they are harder to find. Instead of 2-3 clicks. 7 makes you do 4-6+ clicks.

I could care less if they stop making security updates. I don't get them often and I never had a problem. If you are careless then you will.

How about M$ patents? I don't like Apple but at least they are not trying to make up patents for stuff that isn't theirs.

When will Microsoft sue Google over Linux?

You people do know windows 7 is a rebranded windows vista.

Only thing is that this time aound hardware is more advanced and companies are better at making driver for it, as well as 64bit is becoming the standard.
