FYI, the major visible change in win 7 is the new taskbar a.k.a superbar.

^^ The super bar is not enabled by default in the build given at PDC and the one that is leaked. It's enabled in later builds.

That Control Panel looks very complicated :)

^^ That's because the window is showing "All Control Panel Items" which is an option in Control Panel, else it is the CP same as in Vista with categories.

lol, win7 with vista start bar ! lol again, wallpaper showing build lol again photo shop effects in install dialogues lol three very bad title

My sincere request. Please don't post useless comments without actually testing the OS.

You have no idea how stable and rock solid Win7 is (even in beta). I have tested it on two configs and choto tested it on host of computers and all of us find it to be extremely stable and fast, better at mem utilization.

@ desi, one of my cousin's friend, who tested the same was telling me that the Win7 was loaded up with many aesthetics and a person will need good resources to run it. also he tells me that the taskbar is changes to a 75% transparent block where you get some shake like thing to minimize and also the win areo style is used in the release. he also quoted that win 7 will almost be as costly as 5-6K for a box, BTW those comments are useless, i know and my apologies, post deleted. please tell about getting a beta version of it. is it out for public?

^^win7 is good at aesthetics but since it manages resources in a better way than Vista, you do not need a powerful rig. Mine is a 3yr old single core rig that runs well and you should check the config's that Choto tested on.

The superbar does lot more than transparency. YOu need to feel it to know it.

I think you can download the build using rapidshare or torrents.

Though Aero is used in win7,it looks lighter than that in Vista. Looks as if Winxp's explorer is injected into Vista's aero.

Wait for one month for Public Beta if you want a copy from MS.

I don't think it is illegal. I got 30 day trial period, which means I can use it for 30 days. If I crack it to work forever, that is illegal.

even notepad is better than office 2007.
other options are open-office 3, office XP n 2003, but not 2007.
wastage of resources and time for navigation, poor shortcuts...

Guys,
I have been using windows 7 64 bit edition on 2 computers, one is a pretty old pc and one is fairly new.

My experience, so far has been good, the memory management is a lot improved, user interface is also nice.

in one of my pc it shows an ! mark for APCI and i am not able to find the driver for my tv tuner card.

over all i guess is a lot better and improved.

thanks

What are you telling!! The beta version was distributed 2 months ago by Microsoft but now it stopped distributing. Keep on waiting to download the beta of the next operating
system after Win7.:lol:

I have been using Windows 7 since January, and I found this operating sysetem rocking than any other OS in the market, Better than Vista, Even on 512 MB of RAm it runs very smoothly. It has Directx 11 for better graphics, Windows Media player 12, New Aero interface, Faster than any previous versions of the Windows.

I liked it ....its really cool OS everyone should try it.....:wink:....:cool:..

yes, DirectX11 is available in Windows7 you can check it by using the command typing into the run box "dxdiag" it asks to show information about current directx installed on system....

Just installed Windows 7 Ultimate RC1 on my Studio 15. Takes up much less space than Vista and is surely resource friendly. However, there isn't anything different than vista for an average user.
