Who wants screenies and of what o.o

As soon as Windows boots, check task manager memory usage and CPU usage. Would like a screenshot of that. You running it in a VM or on a 'real' PC?

P.S: I downloaded the 32-bit and 64-bit last night but haven't got around to installing.

A real PC, I just restarted into it



Things to point out:

• The "Great Britain" Theme
• The DockTaskbar
• Steam looks like the L4D logo
• The Download Percentage bar for the IE icon
• The gadget for RAM usage

Also, what do you need to install?

Look carefully

Huh, DX9!?

Looks pretty nice, the bar along the bottom is an improvement (cleaner) but slightly Dock-like.

Bye Bye Vista, I've switched

is this a free beta? looks nice, does it use more stuff then vista, cpu ect?

i might get it for laptop if its free

can you post a link to where we can download the legal beta?
(microsoft.com?xD)

I am currently upgrading from Vista to Windows 7. Yes, upgrading, using the setup, and wihtout backuping up my data (except its already shared between all my pcs anyway)
If you never see me again, assume it didn't work.

Current issues that'll be 'fun' for it to fix: VMware and Daemon Tools, go on handle them <FEMALE DOG> ^^

Because it's beta, does that mean it's like a trial and will eventually get disabled?

Also Si, what makes this better than Vista?

Its called my preference:
My order of Windows:

7>Vista>2000>XP>ME>98SE>95>98FE

i didnt like 2000 personally ^^

Ding! Ding! Ding! He's got the point!

you're not allowed an opinion in this thread :O

obviously, it's the old argument, this thing is better cos i say so! ;d

personal preference will mean everyone is right about what is the best one as everyone will prefer different things ^^

So then STFU because I am right and you are wrong.

(Just kidding)

i agree with your avatar if that helps ease the anger

I officially love you.

I am at the other side of the upgrade, and well, I seem to be running faster

Oh yeah, if you run the beta, RUN WINDOWS UDPATE. There was a bug when the beta was compiled, when editing MP3s, there is an increased risk on irrecoverable data corruption to them all.

Update on the Upgrade:
After 7 hours it is done.
Now comparing the Upgrade install to the Clean Install:

• Windows didn't get rid of old system restore points, even though they're useless
• Upgraded has no disc drives, and refuses to accept that the drives it has are indeed valid
• Control panel crashes in the upgrade, not in the install
• Device Manager does not need admin rights to run, but Xfire does.
• ATI Drivers won't install on the Upgraded version because windows half-overwrote them
• I now have two user profiles for my name (WTF!) one is my stuff, one is for my new stuff?
• Upgrade is BS
• I am now reinstalling
• F*ck upgrades have got WORSE
• Sod the date clock, I can set my system clock back too

Hah, that is very very bad.

well, i broke rule number 1

Don't upgrade Windows. Ever.

Antivirus and firewall software?
