nobodys hero Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Firefox has worked great for me. I've gone thru all kinds of problems with MSN and IE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's also Google Chrome now... and on my MAC I have Camino. there are choices out there people!!! I've not had a problem with either IE or Firefox on my W7 system. Occasionally Firefox will freeze on the MAC. Not the end of the world though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush Cocky Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Windows 7 FTW. I just got it on my office PC. This is the best version of Windows ever from what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentScotty Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I switched from Vista to 7 RC back during the summertime, and installed 7 Pro as soon as it was released. I bagged 7 Pro at the discounted price during the summertime preorder window. Although I didn't hate Vista, it was a pig (had to upgrade from 1GB to 3 GB of RAM just to get things to run well) and was prone to performance degradation. After 12-18 months, performance was bad, even after uninstalling all unnecessary software and manually de-crapping the registry. I benchmarked, wiped, reinstalled Vista, and benchmarked again, and verified that performance had degraded 30% over that 12-18 months of my first Vista install. Hopefully 7 is like XP in that regard: Although I wiped and reinstalled XP a few times due to major hardware changes and the occasional suspected malware, I never got a performance boost by reinstalling XP. I hope the same is true for 7, if I ever have to reinstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some Half-Forgotten Stranger Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I installed 7 a couple of months ago since Vista (bend over and fist ya) wasn't complatible with some drivers on my computer...nott o mention it just sucked. I love 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphseeker Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 The only complaint i have with 7 is the picture viewer - in the previous Windows versions it would allow you to move your pics around in any order you want within a file - Now they are locked and there is no way to rearrange them unless you rename all of them - I work with thousands of pics every week and this sucks, other than that it's excellent - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodys hero Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I installed it yesterday so this is the first time I've been on since the install. So far so good. I hated Vista, what a pain in the ass that was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm Going Shopping Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Not sure if anyone has tries "God Mode" for Windows 7 yet. It's basically a master control panel with all the settings you could ever want in one handy place. Pretty neat. To get God Mode functionality, create a new folder on the desktop and rename it as follows: GodMode.[ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C] Any setting you can think of is there. Just thought I'd share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OP actually typed in the upper case curly brackets, but somehow this forum won't display anything but the lower case brackets. [ ] After it is created, I just renamed it from GodMode to Master Control, since the icon it creates looks the same as my Control Panel icon anyway. And all the stuff in there is in alphabetical order, which is nice, if you can't find stuff in your regular Control Panel folder that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel Rat Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Windows 7 DOES run like a dream, but come on. Over $100. Ubuntu is free, faster, bigger, easier, virtually impenetrable, far more powerful, and not developed by a company that has been enjoying an illegal monopoly for decades. Microsoft embodies the worst of mankind. If you think that you would have any minute issue using Linux, direct it to me and allow me to correct you in two seconds. And the IE vs Firefox debate is a total joke. They are both nightmarish for someone who has tried Opera. Great software like that mentioned above teaches us that there are a lot of crooked developers out there who know that everyday consumers are perfectly fine with being fed a steaming pile of crippled crap. It makes me sad watching people who have so much potential to be so much happier, but I can't help them because they stubbornly cling to the mainstream. It's just so much easier! So much safer! So much faster! What can I do to fix you broken souls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I prefer Debian as I'm a "little" more of an advanced user. Ubuntu does have some things which are very nice I will admit. Perfect for most users. Though, I will say that most people whom are power gamers and play the latest games will most likely be better suited on Windows. Yes, I'm aware of Cedega. But, it's not quite there on the latest games in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Windows 7 came running on my laptop when I bought it in August. It's amazing how fast it is compared to Vista and XP. I love how you can drag things to the sides to make them go half-screen. IMO it's the best OS I've used so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's perfect for me because when I take notes in class I can have the notes I'm taking along with previous references on the same screen simultaneously, and I can bring up more to fit the same space in a split second. It's also great for doing research papers. If you want to move a window partially offscreen, then grab it by the edge furthest away from the side you're going to drag it to. The half-screen thing only happens when the mouse goes off screen while holding a Window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
