I'm curious how Win7 deals with things like symlinks and stuff typical to our community. Cause the above post is not my experience, my Vista computer thrashes my xp boot in performance.Originally Posted by 'Eldi',index.php?page=Thread&postID=166505#post166 505
I installed Windows 7 64-bit on my main machine last night on a blank hard drive and so far I'm very impressed. It's Vista, but with a snazzy new taskbar and noticeably better performance.
Under Vista, when in Dalaran my five shamans would be lucky to get 5fps each. Now, my main gets 25fps and the four clones are all at their 15fps cap. This is very encouraging. I'm just worried that Microsoft will use the months before official release to pack a load of bloat into it and slow it down again.
The latest Vista 64-bit Nvidia drivers work fine. The rest of my hardware was supported by Windows straight off, apart from a couple of "unknown devices".
One small thing to note, if you install Win7 on an unpartitioned disk, it will create a small 200MB partition at the beginning of the disk to conform with the EFI standard (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_Partition). If your disk is already partitioned and formatted before you run the installation you can avoid this happening, although I see no harm in it myself.

windows vista = new windows ME
So, by that logic...
Windows 7 = new Windows XP?

No, it's named 7 because it's the seventh version of windows.

I totally see a connection here. Windows Millennium was another one of Microsoft's "fuckups". While Vista is my favorite operating system out of all my computers (XP machine at my shop, Macbook Pro laptop, and Vista @ home for the 5-boxing), it runs well because I have (and most of us do) a "built" computer.
Most people just buy a computer so they can check their e-mail or browse the web. These are the people that give Vista a bad name, because they think their $399 OEM PC should be able to run the latest and greatest software with huge success.
My $0.02:
----------------------
Early 90's: Windows 3.0/3.1/3.11 - At the time it was released, it was good.
1995: Windows 95 - A large step for mankind. HELO preemptive multitasking!
1998: Windows 98 - Same shit, different day.
1999: Windows Millennium - Sucked. Take Windows 95/98 and put it in a blender. There's your Windows Me. Honestly, it was just a way for Microsoft to make money. Why couldn't they just patch '98? Did we *NEED* another version of Windows? 2 years later, XP was introduced. STOP REPRODUCING ALREADY!!!!!111one1111!!!!
2000: Windows 2000 - Wasn't really preinstalled on home machines, but was stable as hell. Might as well have been XP. (Same kernel?)
2001: Windows XP - Rocked, still does.
2007: Windows Vista - I've never seen a problem other than manufacturers not being prepared and not creating drivers quick enough. They knew it was coming out, but don't prepare -- wtfman? Your old software doesn't work? Cry me a river. Dual-boot alongside XP and quit your whining. People don't like change, so they give it a bad name saying "it sucks". I see people every damn day in my store claiming they "hate Vista", but don't use a computer more than 30 minutes a day.
????: Windows 7 - Have the 64-bit ISO burnt, but have yet to install it on my Macbook Pro. Been too busy lately. :-/
That's all from memory, so if I'm off a year on the release of something, sue me!
