| Goodbye Vista: Rating: 4/5 |
What a wonderful change to Vista and, so far, Windows 7 looks as good as XP. When I get to know it more it might even be better. If so I suspect I will change this PC to 7 as well.
Delivery was as prompt as ever. Many thanks |

| MS Windows 7: Rating: 5/5 |
MS Windows 7 is a significant improvement on both XP and Vista - much better presentation and easier to use etc. The one 'minor' issue I had was that it took quite a long time to install (like 5 hours!) - as I had to install the latest SP for the o/s I was using. Also I couldn't upgrade to 64 bit as you have to do a complete re-install if you aren't using 64 bit in Vista. You then have to re-install all of your software packages. As I couldn't find all of my software discs/licences I had to stick with 32 bit as I couldn't face turning the house upside down to find them... so aren't yet able to fully benefit from the 64 bit architecture.
This is more of a 'for information' comment. It doesn't detract from Win 7 I'd still thoroughly recomment it, its just forewarned is forearmed and they don't tell you this when you buy the upgrade.
Since installing it has been great - system load/shutdown times are very quick. Thoroughly recomment - at last MS is shipping products that I feel able to endorse! |
| Way more stable than Vista: Rating: 4/5 |
| My wife got her Vaio laptop with Vista a year ago but recent crashes started driving us nuts. I already heard quite good stuff about Win7 so thought why not go that way: ordered from Amazon, it arrived in a couple days, installation went really smooth and all the previous problems were gone. There was a tiny issue with the Intel 5100 AGN driver but managed to sort it out with the latest one from the vendor-site. |

| Upgraded from xp after using the compatability wizard,which claimed my pc was compatable with a couple of updates. far from accurate, nothing but headaches and no support from microsoft without a charge. Still unable to connect to the internet with my desktop due to an IPConf issue although my laptop continues to work suggesting it is not a modem or router issue ,It is a common problem if you search the web. How they continue to get away with such poor products and customer service, buyer beware, if it conflicts with your software your on your own. |
