Windows 7

Has anybody tried Windows 7 already? If you haven't and have windows vista installed on your computer, you should download the 6801 build and install it. Because as funny as it might sound, the 6801 windows 7 build is much much better than vista(even with service pack 1). Since i already had a serial for windows vista from when i called MIcrosoft, my windows 7 copy is legit....But my question in the first is why did MS put vista and waited for the public and Mac commercials to force them into changing things??

So has anybody tried it?

No, its not.

I'm using Vista Ultimate now for ~2 months and havent met any disadvantages to XP, but several advantages in handling and of course looks.

Of course it uses more resources, but up to date computers do have those to spend.
An interface enhancement programm for XP which would bring you to Vista standard would still use much much more resources.

Atm I'm not convinced of Windows 7. Mostly because I became convinced of Vista though my experience.

If you think i'm lying, you might to check it out for yourself. It is much much faster than Vista.

Faster doesnt mean better. (And its NOT faster, its the same OS kernel.)

Win95 is even faster than XP by a huge margin.
Do you wanna use it?

I'm not convinced atm by Windows 7, because they removed to much of what took Vista to "The next step OS" in its current version.

neruke, have you tried getting access to a really secure network?
Aka, a hidden wireless one.

It's possible through vista, but takes a few HOURS the first time. They have removed more or less the full "configure network" function in Vista. So it's just... great. I loved having a network in "known/installed networks" but not finding it when looking to connect.

That is Vista for you.

I managed to connect into my friend's hidden wireless network in just a couple of minutes the first time I tried, so I don't think it was a problem with Vista.
