As a recent Vista user, I am highly anticipating 7's release. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the RC1 for my new PC a few months ago.... but I am definitely getting the operating system when it releases. I hear many good things about it. I should be getting it within the first few weeks of release...

Anyone else?

How do you know if your PC is too old to have/get it?

It all depends on what you have in your PC. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/products/system-requirements

IT'S OUT! GO AND GET IT!

Wait, so is it like a downloadable update? How does it work? I too would like Windows 7.

No, you have to purchase it from a store like Best Buy. Best Buy would probably be the best place to get it. I tried asking my college if they were getting it, but they weren't... Which means I have to go some place else to buy it.

I have been using Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro for 10 months now (see the symbol under my avatar?) and seen the many upgrades and changes to the system. I am now running the RTM version of Windows 7 Ultimate and it is smooth as pie. It runs great, stable and efficient. I highly recommend the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista. All in all, it all boils down to what version you are happy with. If you are totally happy with XP, by all means stay on XP.

I may move to Win7 after it's been out for a while and gets it's first service pack. I'm skeptical of M$ and would rather wait and see it get tested thoroughly first by the mass populace. The public can be guinea pigs to make sure it's safe before making the plunge. For now, it's the safer route with XP till Win7 is proven for a fact it is better, more efficient and more secure.

Magma MK-II · « **Reply #10 on:** October 09, 2009, 10:25:27 AM »

Well, ANYTHING is better than Vista anyways!

That's what makes Windows 7 that much better. "M$" put the Windows 7 beta program in the hands of the mass public and the feedback they got in terms of stability, issues, problems is what has been worked on and fixed. Anyone at anytime could have downloaded Windows 7 from M$'s site and installed it on their computers.

I say anything that gets people away from vista *cough* work computer * cough* is a positive thing, because I really can't stand vista

Yeah, I know about the so called beta version and I heard good things, but I'm still gonna wait even after the official release just to be on the safe side. I'm not in any rush to switch at the moment so I will just see how things go. I intend to upgrade when it's time to build a new PC.

Very true. You still have Windows XP, which is great. I used to have XP, but my PC hardware was bad so I had to get new ones... apparently they were too new to handle XP.. I was like.. okay... So, from what I've heard I'll definitely get 7, but if I were like you and still had a PC with Windows XP.. I wouldn't bother until a new pc came along.

Note: For incoming pc and laptop users... I've read somewhere that starting between October 22nd and November 1st new desktop PCs and laptops will come with Windows 7. So, save up and get them between then. Make sure to ask if it comes with it... It'd be better than paying for a laptop that has Windows Vista, then finding out Windows 7's out and paying $220 for that, too...

Darkgargos · « **Reply #16 on:** October 10, 2009, 09:48:29 PM »

Well, I actually build my own computers so I won't have to buy a PC with Win7 built in. I will buy Win7 when it comes time to build a new custom computer for myself as I'm fine with what I have for now.

What's wrong with Vista exactly? I don't see anything wrong with it or really see any differences from when I had an XP except that my Vista is substantially faster. (I hear Vista is really bad but never understood why.)

Tons of program issues (even some of the default ones), graphic cards have been known to get the BSOD in Vista more than in XP, and tons of compatibility issues. Windows 7 should fix all of that and more!

i heard some people say they had issues with certain characters in mugen not working with vista.

have any of you windows 7 users noticed anything like that, or noticed any trouble with mugen itself working incorrectly?

Excursion · « **Reply #20 on:** October 15, 2009, 12:44:26 AM »

Nope. MUGEN works just fine on Windows 7.

MUGEN runs fine in Windows 7 along with every character I have ever tried (Punisher included.)
