windows 7: thoughts and ideas

[nosidius]

alright, well ive seen posts on its beta and some of its bugs, and im probably going to put it on my computer (im getting a 64 bit finally!!!) so i was hoping on some feed back on it before i actually do overwrite XP and go for it. i keep seeing how it's like mac, with all the little toolbar functions and basic [insert foul language] like that. i personally have nothing to judge this against, as i have never used anything made by mac (not so much as an ipod (cept for rockboxing my friends)). Big thing of note that i keep seeing is that w7 is XP/vista on crack, flashiness of vista with the usability and function of XP

and yes, i realize i have a lot of spelling errors XP

I've used it, and yeah it's a bit like Vista on steroids. I'm pretty sure it's even faster than XP, and has some nice design features. In fact, the only problem I've experienced so far is some minor hardware incompatibilities (which will probably be fine once updated drivers are released) and one other thing: Don't bother trying to play online games that use Punkbuster anti-cheat. You'll almost certainly be constantly kicked for "UNKNOWN WINDOWS API FUNCTION".

In other words, don't get Windows 7. It was them trying to salvage the time wasted on Vista. The problem with the direction Windows is taking is they are introducing all this new useless stuff and expecting programs and games to switch to support Vista, when it should be the other way around.
