Microsoft Possibly Pushing Foward the Release Of Windows 7

barnettgs what?

Microsoft stated they already had the next 2 versions of Windows roadmapped out and stated that they'd come out within a short time of each other. This was during Vista development.

It has nothing to do with MS knowing Vista is a bad OS (which it isn't) and it certainly has nothing to do with Vista heading in the direction of ME because that's also a lie since ME WAS bugged and unstable whereas Vista is not... if your system has problems on Vista then you need a better system.

I don't have Vista and don't plan to get one anyway and it has nothing to do with the problems!

Win Me was bugged? Win Me is based on Win 98 with few added-on features such as system restore. I bought new PC in 2001 which happened to have Windows Me and problems? Nope, apart from BSOD due to Nvidia driver-related problem which was eventually fixed!

Unstable? I thought that was the case with Vista as many 'problem' or 'unhappy' threads keep popped up in this forum!

Big change in Vista's under bonnet? Yes but then the average customers don't care about what is in bonnet because XP does the job of Vista 99% of the time and quicker. Like the others, I don't see any user-experience improvement in it at all.

Better? Define 'better' system? Higher quality or faster? You're going nowhere...

My system of nearly 5 years old with P4 2.53Ghz running great on XP and I'm not interested to see it bogged down to the performance level of 1.7Ghz Celeron, had I installed Vista on it!

Now, let me re-phase it for you:

As i was saying to someone just yesterday, A 7 year old OS is running quickly on 5 year old hardware but my 5 year old hardware doesn't run a 1 year old OS all that well, well their's a shocker! :eek:

As for Vista being unstable due to a few threads, I wonder if there would be more threads saying it was stable, if people where required to post weekly if Vista was stable for them? Seriously how often do people post just to say every is tickty boo

I beta tested vista on a P4 2.4 with 1GB RAM and it was perfectly usable.

Why is Windows 7 being pushed forward by 1 year? Because in this world of current OSs, Microsoft obliviously realised that Vista is simply not good enough with its silly system requirements.

Hello barnettgs, I'm sorry but what are these silly system requirements for Windows Vista that you speak off?

Have you ever tried Windows Vista? :)

Win ME was seriously bugged, compared to Win 98, it suffered much greater stability and resource loss problems, mainly because it was a short development, emergency version when they pulled back from making everyone upgrade to W2K (they waited till XP to bring everyone to the NT kernal instead)

Unstable? I thought that was the case with Vista as many 'problem' or 'unhappy' threads keep popped up in this forum!

The vast majority of these have little to do with a problem in Vista itself (the only one that does is the network transfer rates issue) and nearly everything to do with bad drivers or poorly written third party software (because Vista is a lot more rigid about enforcing the same standards that were present in XP)

Big change in Vista's under bonnet? Yes but then the average customers don't care about what is in bonnet because XP does the job of Vista 99% of the time and quicker. Like the others, I don't see any user-experience improvement in it at all.

Except, of course, that it isn't quicker in most cases, especially with superfetch etc working correctly. And if you don't see the improvements the vectorised graphics engine brings, you must be using a very poor monitor with a very low resolution.

Better? Define 'better' system? Higher quality or faster? You're going nowhere...

Neither are you, you're just spouting random unsubstantiated tripe.

Your old PC won't run Vista as well as you'd like? Oh dear, what a pity, never mind, that must mean it's rubbish, rather than you're overdue an upgrade.

Try running XP on a PC from 1996...

Sorry, you're not going anywhere with the majority of people like me. :)

Fortunately, the majority of people aren't like you. ;)

While the rest of the world moves on to a superior system, you stick with XP. I'm sure it's for the best. (Of course, when XP came out, there were many people whinging about it just like you are now about Vista)
 
Ok... here is the question I have 64 or 32 Vista? I can't use Football Manager on 64 vista, and a lot of games that I want to run will not work, but I really do like Vista...

I love how this "MinWin" thing has been blown all out of proportion as well. Every damn article I read on Windows 7 starts off with "it has a new streamlined kernel". It's complete and utter cow manure. Strangely they never seem to mention the *actual* new feature in the kernel which is the "Hypervisor". This feature is going to cause VMware's share price to plummet over night :p

You heard it here first folks.
