Gradually drivers are appearing, Creative now have a driver for Sound Bllaster X-Fi, I can get my Canon IP6000D printer to print though it still won't load the full set of drivers. My HP Scanner does work but again won't load the full driver set. So my thoughts are that it is a bit early to give Wndows 7 a real home user test. I opened Window Media Plaer 12 which seemd ok but ever since the computer won't shut down properly. I am very glad I added Windows 7 to a second partition because I can still operate in Vista 32 which I love. When Microsoft get all the glithces out I believe Windows 7 will be superb until then I am back to Vista I had a major problem with Wndows 7 64-Bit edition could no find no drivers etc. so went back to the 32 bit version.

It is what Apple decided to attack first against MS and Vista and they are correct. They have made Vista way to cautious. Windows 7 takes alot of this do you confirm crap out and actually based on a proven Windows server 2008 kernal using a Vista GUI. Hold on while I confirm I want to make this post to Vista......

Now this is only a 1.2 processor with 2048 mb of memory and a 128mb video card which is the bottom of the scale for this program but it react's faster then that of XP.

I also tried Vista Ultimate and I ended up with hardware and software issues. I just downloaded and installed Windows 7 on this computer but I have run into a problem that I have never seen. The program will install (OS)all missing drivers and windows update will install, Office 2007 and finally 1 of the 3 virus programs will install with no issues, here is the problem that I have ran into and believe me it is weird. the program starts good, runs good and actually boots and works pretty good but after 2 days of running it will not boot back up and it states (Illegal Partition), after running into this problem 3 times in a row in a 7 day spand I decided to just go back to XP, so far no issues. Can anybody try to explain as to why this is happenning and why after 2 days. This computer has gone from Windows 98SE,2000, XP,Vista and Finally W7 all clean install, W7 has been the only one that has had an issue of this kind and after installing all Windows and secondary programs this is the first time that I have seen this. I honestly think that this program could end up working pretty good, Nowthere could had been a problem when I copied the ISO Windows 7 files unto the DVD, But I also would think that it should had shown corrupted files and then why would it work for 2 days.

I find all very good. The only vista issue I have is with older hardware I have I have alot printers that can run 98 on up there good ones. There all in one. I like vista I just keep working around the hardware issues. The only beef I got with vist is software issues. I have cd books of software and it say incompatble with 99%. That is pros and cons of upgrading. My new laptop is an IBM Lenovo 2.0 gig with 4 gig of ram came with 1 and vista home. It crashed the first week the master restore didn't work. I installed Vista ultimate and runs great now. I do recomed vista, and also XP. There both good and reliable. I know that with dell you can downgrade to xp if you special order.

With people like some of you we may not have even have the candle invented because you would have been satisfied with going to bed when the sun went down. Advancing in the world is what makes the world go round. You stay with 2000 and oh by the way, bought any new software lately. Yes, let's move back to the dark ages.

Certainly none that would make me want to use windows. In fact Linux has been my desktop operating system for 8 of those ten+ years.
