Windows 7

[jcm]

Just installed windows 7 and so far I really like it. I have a pretty old computer and it is actually running well on it. I didn't believe that it would. Anyone else using it?

So far I am very impressed.

Not yet, but it is on my list of projects!

I've heard great things from others though. Now to go repair my RC airplane...

Not yet, I wait until the 1st service pack comes out.

I haven't installed it because I can't risk messing up my computers when they are working fine.   But, I've heard good reviews of Windows 7 from those who are using it.

I am lucky, I have a second computer to try it on. Can't wait to get a better video card so I can hook it up to my 42" plasma tv!

Installation was a breeze, it looks great, it responds great, and I don't use it because there are no W7 drivers for my graphics chipset.

I've got the RC downloaded. Will hopefully get it installed before the weekend (I'm taking a vacation)

good luck, it has a really nice look to it, and best of all it doesn't ask you "do want to do that?" every time you try to do anything.

which os?

I use the Ubuntu distro.  :hmm:[/quote]Nope. Worked "out of the box" on four desktops and two laptops.  
Not that there aren't driver issues to be had. Especially with wireless networking devices.

i don't know a lot about linux. what is ubuntu distro? I've heard of ubuntu and was considering downloading it. what is the distro part? is that a version of ubuntu? i thought there was only one version of ubuntu. linux freaks me out  

A Distro (short for distribution) is just a package of software distributed by a particular business or organization, typically including the Linux kernel, a command line shell, and a graphical desktop environment - and usually some applications.

For instance, the Ubuntu distro comes with the kernel, a bash shell, and the GNOME desktop with OpenOffice.org office suite, GIMP image editor, and quite a few useful or just nifty odds and ends. You can usually then install software of all sorts from the distribution's library of stuff in varying ways depending on the distributor. In Ubuntu it's as easy as opening "install software" and check-marking boxes, it then downloads the software and installs it for you.
