Solve : XP and 7? |
|
Answer» Hi GUYS! I'm thinking of getting Windows 7 but XP has worked so well that I'm just not sure. I have heard of people setting up more than one OS. Is this done by partitioning a piece of my HDD? Hi guys! I'm thinking of getting Windows 7 but XP has worked so well that I'm just not sure. I have heard of people setting up more than one OS. Is this done by partitioning a piece of my HDD?If you're happy with XP, don't tempt fate by upgrading I recently expressed my skepticism that Windows 7 was as great as purported, to the ire of many of the other members. It seems that everything I have read says it's pretty good. So, I plan to give it a try pretty soon, and hope it's as good as they say.It's as good as advertised... Probably the best product out of Redmond since Win2K...which i still run BTW...Quote from: patio on March 26, 2010, 07:27:51 PM It's as good as advertised... awww.... don't remind me of the embarassing launch party. We all painted our chests to spell Win2K and then the 2 had this weird disorder where he ended up making a 2 that looked like a y and then he was on the wrong side of the k,... oh it was so embarassing. Anyway, re: win7, I find the new UI management features as well as the taskbar stuff (grouped windows show little stacks, and two of the same window will be "joined", and the Aero thumbnails that Vista had are quite well expanded. the added 1 to the minor version is well deserved. IMO windows 7 is to Vista what XP was to 2000; largely a new skin on top of the same old wolf inside the same old sheeps CLOTHING. It's still a wolf inside, but the wool is fluffier, or something. BC i usually agree with you... However that being said i find Win7 to be not only more functional than Vista but far superior... If you want to label it as Vista Wolf in a new sheeps clothing i won't argue...but i won't agree either. There Should Be Something In W7 That It Is Made After XP (It Should Be Better Points In W7) Quote from: the_mad_joker on March 27, 2010, 11:50:34 PM There Should Be Something In W7 That It Is Made After XP (It Should Be Better Points In W7) Um... what? Quote from: patio on March 26, 2010, 08:09:35 PM BC i usually agree with you... Actually, I had a thought- I've had it on my laptop for quite some time, but I hardly use my laptop. Now that windows 7 is on my desktop I'm sure I'll eventually see more then just the great improvements over the features that Vista had; so far one of my favourites is the way the Search bar actually clears the right column of the start menu so there is more room horizontally, etc. the API landscape hasn't changed a whole lot from Vista, 7 does add a lot of features but I would have to write a type library to use them and I don't really think it's worth the effort yet. My metaphor was badly chosen to mean what I intended; From a developer's standpoint, the changes are quite comparable to similar API changes from Windows 2000 to windows XP; Basically, so far, all I've seen is icing. Now, everybody loves icing... In fact, a good cake icing. But a cake also needs... well, cake. Windows 7 delivers that as well to end users (new wizards and control PANEL features, the Action Center, and many other such features, as well as to developers, Since, as Noted, they add a of new APIs, for things like DIRECT3D and DirectWrite and DPI awareness and several others. |
