 Windows 7 So, guys, who here uses Windows 7? I am right now, and i must say, i am impressed. Its faster than Vista, less resource hogging and overall better than i imagined. Please give feedback. Also, its free, legit, and everyone can DL the Beta version to use it and to test it.

Re: Windows 7 I'm sad now.
Friggin idea of getting Vista, I don't see why Windows thinks that adrenaline-hyped workers are so good.

Re: Windows 7 Vista isn't and never was a resource hog. It caches the unused memory instead of letting it go to waste.
Anyway, i'll probably get this when I have enough time to spare. Looks awesome.

Re: Windows 7 Falcon X wrote: Vista is currently IDLING at 30% used memory, on a 2Gig setup. But read the second part of his post; it's Vista using Superfetch to make programs start up faster. If something needs the RAM Superfetch will purge its cache. W7 is currently using 40% of my 3GB. Am I worried? Not at all. Everything loads damn near instantly and games have no problem using that RAM when they need to.

Re: Windows 7 OS X is still the superior operating system. Snow Leopard > W7.
