Windows 7
 

the reviews look great but the windows 7 beta download is a nightmare
i cant even dowload even though i have 3 legitamate keys...
the demand for the CUSTOMER PREVIEW is so great servers
make you wait or appear to wait as maybee they are slowed to a disasterous hault... maybee cause customer extream dissatisfaction with vista that they need a repreave (somthing better)
i say lets everyon contact thier government elected all of them and demand a law making windows XP a STANDARD OS and micro soft to continue updates and sales for all etternaty...yea every one please rally with me yea...

We already have a thread here, with direct links to the beta ;)

i dont care this is a differant type of thread for windows 7

Wow take a chill pill ;P

I don't see the point of this thread, if its 'different' to a general windows 7 thread. If your point is to get people to stick with XP, then thats never going to work.

Operating Systems are evolving, just like everything else in the world. XP is an out-dated operating system. Sure its good for now, but when new technologies start taking over, where will it be then? And you can't say that they can upgrade XP to work with new tech's, because thats pretty much the same idea as creating a new OS.

Sure Vista got a bad start, but its been updated, and most of the errors i hear about now are for individuals, its not a common fault accross the whole OS. People used to say setting up a wireless network was dreadful, but Vista has been updated, and (apart from hardware update issues), ive had no problems.


So your point of keeping XP as a 'standard OS', will never happen lol.

funny your having such a hard time... my friend just downloaded win7 last night in about 20-30 min

I got with no prob

I downloaded it in about 20 minutes... you can also find it on alot of torrent sites. Just get the beta code from microsoft's site and then find a torrent for build 7000. Personally I think Windows 7 will be great, better then Vista. There are many more small enhancements to the OS that make it alot more user friendly / easier to use.

Yeah, i think people need to get over Vista's release.. even that has become a good OS in my eyes. Everyone dwells on the past too much ;P

Windows Xp (SP4) still getting updates and other things from Microsoft
its not totally dead, hell Windows 2000pro still gets updates as will for security reason mainly

windows will do updates for a very long time, i they will not have the flash and bang of newer windows, but hey windows xp is super great for some still.

the file is 2.43 GB long and i keep getting False end of file @ 70 mb 584 mb 700 mb
the list goes on maybee att has some anti torrent software or maybee microsoft
is overloaded i dont know its been a pain

Have you tried the links in the other Win7 thread?

I heard the same crap when XP came out. People were telling me not to get it because it was worse than ME. So I got ME instead, I ended up exchanging it (thank goodness circuit city let me). I love XP, I don't really have any problems with Vista....it runs great on my laptop.

to bad they are no more circuit city today

People are always gonna tell you not to upgrade because of 'somthing someone said'.

well after direct links failed i went to main website and i had problems getting the download manager to run i kept getting a message page so i copied th link
opened safari pasted it in and it downloaded fine but the meaasage page
kept kicking me back to click to download page were you would also get a key
so now i got about six or so legit keys...hehehehe...

well i have developed a bsod in windows 7
with my nvidia driver so there take that... and in the meantime check out my new joke in the mature section...heheheheheheh

A lot of people forget that it is still a beta ;P so most of your drivers arent going to work

whats funny is that the driver is from windows update for windows 7...
driver suposed to be made for windows 7...just more MS BS

Theres a MS update driver for your graphics card? :/ i thought they only released mobo drivers.

EDIT: Just realised you didnt specify it as a graphics card ;P so im guessing its an nForce update or somthing

i'll check it out but i think thats the same driver im talkin about un less it was released today
otherwise it the one thats broken with BSOD,,,BSOD...BSOD....
