Thread: Windows 7

I use Slackware & m0n0wall.
What's this "virus" you speak of?

I still use two of these for hours every day (graphic designer), go where I want online, download what I please and nothing... I've never run an antivirus.

I would have kept my old desktop if it wasn't for the fact that it was using way too much electricity. It was no worse performance-wise than my new one.

Maybe there should be a 'not yet' option. I don't want to hear about a new Windows operating system until after service pack 1. (or maybe 2).

Yes, at work I've been running the release candidate since it was available. I also now have a license for the official release.
I love it. Even the simple things like the way the taskbar works now, it's much more manageable for those who have tons of stuff open at the same time (me).

It's funny you mention that, as about an hour after I posted the poll I wanted to edit it to add that option but found I couldn't do it.

I already have enough trouble getting my audio interface to work flawlessly with Vista, I wouldn't want to make things worse... So if the price of the upgrade doesn't fix that, I couldn't justify the purchase.

I know one thing, the commercials are making me ill

I just got a new laptop, and Windows 7 is starting to appear better then Vista, but you never know when things will go wrong. Vista was good when it first came out, but after ahwile the features started showing up, and fixing those features created new features until I wished that Flanders was dead............
