Hi, I don't know much about Windows 7, so I'm asking here to see if you guys know more than I do. Is it worth upgrading to Windows 7 Beta? What's good and what's bad about? So far I do only know that there are many hotkeys, which are pretty useful. But will games demand better hardware if I upgrade to Windows 7 Beta and so on. Let me hear your opinion/experience. |

If you have Windows XP, DO NOT UPGRADE. Please, DO. NOT. UPGRADE. But if you have Vista, this is worth it, but not now. Windows 7 is a minor improvement to Vista, but removes lots of crap from Vista and includes some new cool stuff into it. The system requirements are lowered and supports more hardware than Vista. But since it's beta, lots of games and appliances may not work in Windows 7. Basically, Windows 7 is a must if you have Vista but wait for the full stable release. That's my 2 cents.

Unless you have a graphics card that can run games in DX10. Windows XP can only run games in DX9 and below. Plus, call me crazy, but after getting used to Vista, I actually prefer to XP. It's come along way since its initial buggy release. Then again, I've always had a kick-ass rig that blows away the high Vista system requirements, which are by far the worst part of Vista.

Since you're using it, why don't you tell us your opinion about Windows 7? Edited by Darcsol, Feb 6 2009, 06:41 AM.
