Thread: Any one running Win7 yet?

X does the window management, those other things are just decorators, big difference. And as for the title bar, again, that's the decorator, not X. Unless you work with the windows on a low level, people don't realize that the "Windows" on the screen, are not the only windows. Technically, almost everything is a window on all systems. Text inputs are windows, buttons are windows, choice boxes are windows... They all inherit the window base class.

I don't really see why Microsoft tried making something completely new with Vista/7. XP was good. It had it's little errors every now and then, but it was good.

They should have stuck with it, and just added on that instead of making all this crap.

I'm now running 7. All programs migrated w/o issue. Other than a slow start up I see no flaws (yet). This is what vista should have been, a clean build not an os stacked on a xp frame.

I've got Windows 7 Ultimate x86, upgraded from Vista. So far, it's much better. It's faster, sleeker, and all around a much better system, both in aesthetics and performance.

I had a BSOD from an nvidia driver but I think I installed the latter via windows update. Win7 wouldn't start afterwards due to this driver.
I uninstalled the driver after booting in safe mode.
Then I downloaded the driver from nvidia's site. It's now working well again..

I've got Win 7 Ultimate 64 shipping on my replacement Alienware machine (exchange system for my broken XPS M1730). Should be here in a week, and Windows 7 should run superbly on it
