Re: Windows 7 Download
Haven't really got a clue about Windows 7 or what I should do with it. I've got Vista on my laptop (actually really like it), should I download Windows 7?

Windows 7 is the replacement for vista. This is whats called beta which means its not finished but they let techies play with it and find the bugs. Its not for general people unless you are prepared to put up with it crashing etc |

Re: Windows 7 Download
Had enough hassle with XP without worrying about Windows 7 or Vista. Will worry about what to have to when I get a new comp.

Re: Windows 7 Download
You've got to be very brave to beta test a Microsoft OS
My policy is to leave it 20 years from official release while they sort out the bugs then upgrade to it

Re: Windows 7 Download
I have come to the conclusion that all operation systems are rubbish and full of issues and it is just a case of hoping it will work most of the time without causing you too many problems. If you are non technical you will have more problems, trouble they may not realise they have problems until it is too late - its just a fact of life.
How they get away with selling software with so many problems is beyond my understanding.
