Everyone should just upgrade to Windows 7

Irock stop being such an idiot -_-

It is true that changing the view in a library affects all folders in the library, but its different when browsing the Computer.
It seems to remember the folder settings perfectly fine. They even seem to have removed the option in the Advanced Settings under the View tab in Folder Options which allows you check whether you want individual folder settings remembered or not. (It was present in XP, dunno about Vista)

I haven't really searched to see whether it's present anywhere else or if it has actually been taken out. Even then you should be able to reset the folder settings just fine.

I would love to upgrade to windows 7, once i upgrade ram.

Doesn't Windows 7 require 1gb of ram? The computer i have right now can expand to 2gbs ram. I haven't really looked into Win7 that much anyways since i don't have any serious problems with Vista that motivates me into buying Win7. But i'll wait until i decide to upgrade.

[Irock]

2 gigs of ram isn't enough. You need 4 gigs of ram and an i7.

[Zeriab]

What, 2 gigs is more than enough unless you get the 64-bit version.
Also Vista used more ram than Windows 7 does for me.
As for the requirements:

1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

If Vista runs fine for you then it's highly likely that Windows 7 will run fine and probably also better.

[Irock]

Requirements don't mean anything. It'll run like garbage if you have those specs.

[Zeriab]

It'll probably run like garbage, but I disagree that requirements doesn't mean anything. It gives you a feeling of the hardware required.

It would properly run perfect until you have used it for 2 weeks :/

[Tsunokiette]

Personally, I like Windows 7 better than any other version of windows.

The only I don't like is that they took out Windows Movie Maker lol.

Stop talking garbage, Irock.

Windows 7 would run fine on a system like that.

XP doesn't even run fine on a system like that, especially after you've used it for a little while.

XP runs fine on a system far weaker than that, Irock. Stop talking garbage.

Computers only get slower after use if you're garbage.

No, it doesn't. I speak from experience.

Your Windows 7 install is slower now than it was when you first installed it.

[chewey]

No it isn't.

[Irock]

Yes it is.

Chewey is just a wintard fanboy,

[Esmeralda]

No it isn't.

Irock is just a macfag

[Irock]

I don't even own a Mac.

How can I be a macfag? >:]

[Esmeralda]

You're gay for macs and you'd get one in a heartbeat if you had $6000 to spare

[Irock]

I have billions to spare, sweetheart. ;]

I was really contemplating the Student Discounted 7 Home Premium deal, because I'm getting a little bored with XP.
Still might buy it sometime, probably torrent it, but who knows.

Can someone tell me, I'm not reading through 2 pages on posts at 2:30am, why 7 is better than Xp? Really, why? As someone whose only problem with XP have been viruses, why should I upgrade?

[Zeriab]

I can tell you that my productivity has increased after getting Windows 7 and I don't had any trouble with searching for drivers.
It was the rare feeling of everything just working and working well.

Irock is right, I have had Windows 7 for 4 months or so and startup time has increased with 5 seconds or so. Idle RAM usage has increased with 40 MB. It doesn't feel any slower though. General use doesn't feel more sluggish. Of course this might just be due to it happening gradually.
My opinion so far is that it handles time better than XP, but then again. I have only had it for around 4 months, so that's not so long.
