Onion Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 Does anyone have it, or know anyone that has it? Are there any problems or incompatible programs? I'm thinking of hopping to windows 7 once I reformat, but I don't want to have to format a second time because it has programs that don't work.

redtigerdragon Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 If you have xp now, you shouldn't have to worry as the new RC will have something that virtualizes XP on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I'm currently using vista SP1 x64. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtigerdragon Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 You shouldn't have many (if any) problems then, as Vista and 7 are pretty comparable. Wait for someone on here who is actually running 7 and Vista to let you know of anything major between the two, but AFAIK there aren't any issues.

r3d c0m3t Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 I'm wondering the same, although I'm still an XP junkie. Never be an RC-goer, and I wanted to give it a try with 7. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r3d c0m3t Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 RC actually works really well.... and has some nice new features... I was going to pick up Vista a few days before I found out about Vienna, er, Windows 7. Is it better in any way, or just the same experience but...more refined?

dr_bowtie Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 well like most say it's like Vista attempt # 2 or the way Vista should have worked when it released.... the fastest most stable version of Vista for me was build 5200 and everyone after that got worse and slower... the opposite is true for Win7...

Waco Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 the fastest most stable version of Vista for me was build 5200 and everyone after that got worse and slower... Have you ever installed a release version? It was far faster than the later beta builds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted April 27, 2009 Posted April 27, 2009 yes I have the RTM was they worst POS there was...SP1 how ever isnt all that bad...still slower than build 5200 but more stable... Window7 is everything Vista would ever hope to be... I have every build Vista ever had from the pre-beta to the last RTM with all betas and RCs in between and believe me I tested them all as I was on of the chosen beta testers for Vista beings I was registered then... I didnt re-up with Win7 but I saw no need to... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
