same here

 

no probs yet

 

even running transcoder 360 for my xbox to stream avi etc

 

all ok :)

Had the beta version for a few months now. Apart from some minor authentication issues, when I took it into work, it seems stable. Your final versions should be much better.

My rule of thumb is never by anything microsoft untill its been on the market for six months. By that time all the big problems have been sorted, and like XP and 2000 before it there are loads.

check the windows upgrade advisor. you can still run vista if you cant run aero

any DX9 graphics card with 128MB VRAM will be able to run aero just fine. I'd recommend 2GB RAM at least too, mine has 1GB and it struggles a bit with that.

Few problems with it but nothing serious. No support for speedtouch USB ADSL modems, no great loss these are shit anyway, not Microsofts fault either, blame thompson for not releasing drivers. Seemingly some issues with DHCP with belkin routers. And an issue with laptop screens whereby windows decides when you close the lid that the display has been disconnected and when you open the lid it doesn't come back on.

why on earth would you want to install something that uses most of your machines utilities, slows things down and requires such massive amounts of memorya lot of things just wont work.

 

plus if you take the visuals away its XP anyway.

no, its not XP underneath at all, the underlying technology has been majorly reworked.

 

It doesn't slow things down at all, if anything its more responsive than XP.

having used vista im not impressed with it tbh

 

gona stick with XP for a bit till its more supported

 

only just released G15 drivers for it FFS :(

But that's been true since Windows 1.0 ;)

Every test thats been done on it by imdipendant reviwers all say the same thing. Its only up to speed on up to the minute technology and hardware, anything else there is a massive performance drop

 

All this just to copy the Mac system as close aas pos.
