That's only cause microsoft said it would be faster. Go and time it, you won't see that much of a difference. |
Well, I tested it, and it outperforms Vista on my computers. However, XP is still faster. But, since Windows 7 is still in beta that might improve. As it is now, I won't be upgrading windows XP on my Windows workstations. But I feel it's definitely better than Vista.

Who are you calling biased. You're bound on always ignoring every valid point we say and you keep repeating yourself without ever stating any source. |
And I agree with that. The Grinch might be the most biased person in existance.

Please, people, for the sake of conversation, don't start becoming personal again.
You can be biased all you want, at least it is better than flaming eachother. Remember, it's just software.

I don't plan on testing Windows 7. For the first time in a long time (since Whistler) I have no interest in testing a new operating system. I just know what to expect, and as a Mac user I have no need to bother with Windows any longer until it becomes used in corporate environments.
But as a side note, I think The Grinch really needs to stop assuming that if something is not working for someone, then their hardware is obsolete. Neither Vista nor Windows 7 is perfect, and there is no real excuse for either operating system to not be able to work with his hardware. Instead of calling him biased or just bashing everything he says in general, you could try to help solve his problems if you actually cared about showing people how Windows is still relevant in today's world.

So despite running on just about the same kernel and Windows 7 being in beta, it is still much faster than Vista? I didn't notice a difference (1%-10% improvement maybe?) but I think you are showing how bad Vista is. Either that or your Vista install has suffered some Windows cruft and Windows 7 therefore appears to be going significantly faster.

You're not "kinda giving up" because you are yet to provide enough substance in a post to formulate something that passes as an argument.
And you're assuming we are laying in whatever. You actually are and you've demonstrated it. Vista apparently sucks that bad for you that you are willing to use Microsoft beta software which has resulted in an irreparably broken music library and who knows what else.

Well, I wouldn't exactly assume that he tried the Windows 7 beta because Vista sucks. It's more likely to be pure curiosity, which was the same thing that drove me to try out the Whistler and Longhorn betas even though my main OS at the time was fine.

the one longhorn beta I had tried was absolutely worthless. I have used Vista and they were nothing alike. The longhorn release that I was introduced to was because it was a computer repair class and the as students we were trained to fix microsoft based systems in the class. My longhorn experience gave me no help when I looked at Vista. I wonder how much of 7 beta will be the same in the actual release or completely different.

Longhorn went through a looong beta cycle that changed numerous times pretty dramatically throughout the process, so I can definitely see why maybe that one beta build you tried was horrible.. But it wasn't all that bad.

It ended up pretty bad, though.

I didn't mean the beta build I tried was bad but it certainly gave me no help in preparing me for what became windows vista. Basically everything had changed and I might as well just have not looked at it to give me an idea for the switch |

Well yeah in that case then I have no idea what happened with the beta builds at the last second. It started off looking like XP, then they went through numerous theme changes, and then all of a sudden they released the final version even though it wasn't really properly given time to go through the beta cycle.
I think they didn't handle the beta situation for Vista too well.
