Windows 7

[Elitestar]

The word is "bought". You can't "brought" something.
and, a lot of people buy Vista, simply because it's a good OS.
The people complaining about it are the people with computers/laptops that can't handle its requirements and such.

Well, I`m not planning on buying the next ones, unless they are REALLY good.

And, you said "Brought" instead of "bought."

Read who I quotes before even trying to correct me.

And, I never buy Windows It's a waste of money, cuz you can get a much better Linux OS for free. So why pay for Windows too?

Because a majority of the programs out there when you go to higher education school require you to either use Windows or Mac.  Even at one of the best tech schools in the world the kids haven't gotten linux to work 100 percent with a lot of the stuff out there.

ppl complained on how long it took damn vista to boot. my pc is a quad core running at 3.6 Ghz, and it STILL takes vista ultimate 40-60 seconds to boot. most of it comes from the sidebar taking for ever. if this vista boots in less than 30 seconds, itll be FTW

You have an EXTREMELY crappy machine if it takes that long.
From pressing my power button to being completely booted, it takes ~30ish seconds, not including typing in my password (which doesn't count towards boot time).
That's on a laptop with a 2.4ghz mobile core 2 duo with 4gb of ram on a 200gb or so(I forget) hdd with Vista Ult., Ubuntu, and OSX on it, cluttered with tons of programs and such.

eh i over estimated.

id say 50 seconds including password
and thats from pressing button to sidebar working and system running at idle ( 1-5 percent cpu usage

the vista sidebar is queer. I don't use it.
So basically, for me that'd be from power button to Kasperskry, MSN, and AIM starting?
Yeah, around 45ish. My laptop's pretty beast. XD
And, my cpu generally stays around 10%ish on load, it pretty much only goes past that when I first start something or I'm doing a lot. I haven't seen my cpu go over like 35%ish and that 35% was playing Crysis Warhead last night.

The only reason anyone's computer would take any marginal amount of time over others to boot up is the amount of ram the computer has.  The more ram in your system, the more stuff Vista preloads to the ram to make the computer faster after being booted up.

i am getting floods of messages for these links for the beta, So here just download it here..
:P

Kicks: Links removed. Don't ever post pirated content here again.

[t33n1ck13]

I love how Windows 7 has a built-in ISO burning program, something I've been wanting Microsoft to include for a VERY long time.  7 looks to be very promising. I've been using it on my extremely old Dell Latitude D505 and it flies.

[Chi-kitory]

What the hell? the links were fine not pirated, its the beta not the actually thing so how would it be pirated?

[robin1989]

pm me the link chi and i will see if it was a pirated version or not.

The beta is for select people only. I you're downloading it from some site it's a pirated beta. Got it? It's not an open beta for anyone, you can't distribute it.

I'm getting tired of your whole 'I'm going to go up against staff because I'm nothing but a rebel' deal, it's gotta stop. Here and now. You weren't in this conversation, now butt out.

[Reaper]

Personally, I don't see any harm on sending out the "pirated" version of the beta.  If it was hurting Microsoft in any way then I would be against it, but it could only potentially benefit from it, so meh.

Chris {PspKicks} says (6:24 PM):
How do you feel about someone posting links to the leaked beta of Windows 7? It's technically pirated, it's a CLOSED beta and someone wants to post a link so people at AM can download it. That's illegal in a sense, it's pirated. Are you ok with that? I removed the links and now the guy's :censored:ing and Robin was gonna check the links out and Reaper doesn't give a .
CyberPyrot says (6:24 PM):
nope
CyberPyrot says (6:25 PM):
cant do it
Chris {PspKicks} says (6:25 PM):
Good



You're not posting it chikitory, stop complaining.

thank you admin!

Shut up. Stop. Seriously.

It's not Microsoft.

[noah03ark]

It's not Microsoft.

then its obviously a 'no'

if its the leaked and illegally passed around beta, then certainly not

There's no public beta,. the "leaked and illegally passed around beta" is the only one.
