Windows 7?

[Hellow]

My hardware would die if I tried to run Windows 7. Plus, I still prefer Linux over it. From the reviews I have seen, though, it looks to be better than Vista ever was/is.

Now my new laptop came with Vista.. Yes I have problems loading some things with it.. It comflicts.. Now with my old laptop I had XP & it would allow with no problems to load with anything.. So I may check out this windows 7.. Is It ready to buy from the stores yet??

The finale version wont be out till later in the year, this is the Beta test version.

Ive been playing with it most of the day, I might have to get the finale version when the Beta stops working.

I probably will not continue using W7 on this machine and wont install it on the other. On this machine with 2 different web browsers open and watching a video, the browsers work OK and the video skips badly. For my use 2Gs of memory isnt enough for W7 and my machines max out at 2Gs. Im running 3 monitors on this machine and its a lower end unit. Better machines with only 1 monitor would run W7 without any of the issues Im having.

The gadgets are cool, the animated windows are cool but take up memory and slow things down a little bit on my setup. I couldnt get Ultramon to work unless I used the Classic theme another minus for me as I have multiple monitors on both machines and I like the animated windows W7 offered.

I was realy impressed with how W7 didnt need any setup for multiple monitors with 2 different graphics cards, I did not like that I couldnt find a way to have different desktops for each monitor.

Im getting a 3rd computer in the next couple of days and will dual boot W7 and Ubuntu on it with a single monitor.

Maybe if Im able to strip W7 down the way Ive been able to strip XP down Ill run it on this machine again.

ETA: Way better then Vista but my stripped down version of XP is still faster.
