Blir Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 A full installation of Windows 7 Ultimate with a 1TB hard drive formatted and all drivers ready to go upon first logon took me exactly 40 minutes. This is very good and I am happy. I was previously using the RC and now my wireless connection is tip top as opposed to the meagre connection I was getting before - Basically I am very chuffed and I think this is for sure going to be the dominant OS for some time. I'm planning to roll out a few Windows 7 systems at clients on an experimental basis to see how that runs. Anyone else grabbed the full Windows 7 yet? Thoughts? Comes highly recommended from three months of RC use with not a single issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goffer Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I installed Pro a few weeks back on my desktop and laptop and enterprise (basically the same as ultimate) on my girlfriends laptop over the weekend... I love it. I was skeptical putting it on my laptop for it is what I use to do all my music stuff but things have been running better than ever.... even better than XP.

Blir Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Innit. After the shambles that was Vista I've been so impressed by 7. Not had a single problem with incompatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest analogue wings Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 are you saying final gives you better wireless than the RC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 are you saying final gives you better wireless than the RC? Well, yeah. It's saying I have a stronger signal now anyway. Which I don't get because it's a PCI wireless card. Honestly I can't stand wireless anyway, gonna get an ethernet through mains plug or something at some point.

Joyrex Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'm running it virtually (the RC) via Parallels on the Mac, and I must say, I'm liking it so far - the only issue I seem to be having is it thinking the wireless card is missing, even though I have an internet connection (more to do with Parallels than Win7 I reckon). This is what Vista should have been (and two years earlier than Vista came out). *thoughtfully eyes OSX Snow Leopard upgrade disk* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hautlle Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Haven't used the final yet, but i just put the RC on a system I built last week and I've been loving it. Definitely what Vista should have been... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Adjective Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 are you saying final gives you better wireless than the RC? Well, yeah. It's saying I have a stronger signal now anyway. Which I don't get because it's a PCI wireless card. i wonder if they just changed how the meter works or if you're experiencing any measurable improvement. i really like windows 7 RC, no real problems so far. will probably ride it out until expiration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must have at first been like "Whoa! Wireless internet here we go!" but now it's shithouse again. I'm gonna get an n router and adapter because our router at home is fucking dreadful.
