Quote from: LordZeebmorki'm never upgrading windows past xp. if i get a new os it'll be linux.

hack the planet etc. etc.

if i get 7 it won't be for a while, even with the open beta there are bound to be launch issues and I don't care about upgrading enough to deal with all of that right away

you don't think google openly competes with microsoft?

LordZeebmork · October 23, 2009 01:55 AM

i know google competes with microsoft but i think it\\\'s far more likely that bing is pushing pro-windows 7 blogs

jesus fuck i can\\\'t type today

windows 7 is great and there are no kinks it has never crashed on me, although neither did vista. xp and linux crashed on me all the time though.

i am too cool for linux now if you excuse me im going to use my iphone to twitter people that im drinking bubble tea because i am so hip and cool

it's like that with everyone and you think that's just the way it is and the way it has to be because you've been blinded with hate for vista despite that after the service pack(s) it's been much more stable than xp

jjjjjjjjjj · October 23, 2009 04:13 AM

i havent tried vista and i get mixed reviews about it so i didnt want to get it but i hear nothing but good reviews for windows 7

rtil · October 23, 2009 04:33 AM

more stable than an os that hasn't crashed on me in months, probably years?

yeah right

i upgraded to rc1 when that came out and then did a clean install when official professional came out a few months ago

shura · October 23, 2009 03:50 PM

i think its better to do a clean install. i heard that people who upgraded from vista had a lot of issues with it

billy · October 23, 2009 07:09 PM

if you don't feel like formatting i recommend doing custom install and then transfering your data from the windows.old folder.

what i usually do is put all my User folders on my D drive and my os and apps on my C drive, so when i want to install a new OS i just wipe C and then set the user folder location to D instead of the default C and all my data comes back like magic. my videos folder is filled with hentai, my desktop is filled with bullshit and icons for shit i never use, my pictures folder is filled with pictures of my waifu sasha

rtil · October 23, 2009 07:25 PM

i will have to do that anyway because i try not to use the C drive for any storage purposes in the first place

I built a new computer a few months ago and originally ran it on Ubuntu since I hated Windows XP. Even though I like Ubuntu, a lot of my favorite programs do not work on Linux OS's so I duel-booted with Windows 7 after using Linux for about two or three weeks. Later on, I decided to just use Windows 7 as my main OS and I have had very few problems with it. It ticks me off how I can't seem to permanently disable sticky keys though. Everytime I reboot my PC and hold down the shift key for a short while, it's enabled again. That's pretty much the only major problem I have had with the OS in the last two months. Other than that, I really like Windows 7 and think it's vastly better than XP. I never owned Vista but a ton of people had a lot of problems with it. So many people have had the blue screen of death with Vista which is so bizarre considering how I haven't gotten that since I used to use Windows 98. o_o FYI, I switched to XP in '03 and I used to get it frequently back when I used Windows 98.
