Aye, performance look very promising and potentially confirms people's 'sense' of increased performance and 'snappiness'
heheh & the trolls come out as always!
Installed this yesterday, absolutely loving it. Seems to be quicker than vista with certain things, opening programs being one, basically instant.
The taskbar gets some getting used to but after using it for a day now, I'm very impressed, much prefer it over the old ones. But then i love fancy looking themes/desktops
Yes very easily as well, right click task bar & select small icons.

Want any more pics or anything just ask
Hi,

EDIT: NM, just seen links in the first post

Well with my dealings with Vista laptops im far far far from being impressed.
Windows 7 better be good!
I have a 8Gb desktop coming and i'll be sticking with 32 bit XP because I really dont want to touch Vista...
Then why bother getting a machine with 8GB?
Am I the only one that thinks this looks good?
Props to the OP for posting all those images - every single one I see, it looks like a functionality increase over Vista.
I am in no way bashing vista by the way, just saying this looks a lot better. I really want to give it a try now too but if I start messing with hard drives on my PC it mucks up the boot record

Because unlike windows, OS X does actually work perfectly all the time.
(My bootcamp installation of XP needs to be redone because it crashed during update and now thinks there is a dll is missing allowing me to do pretty much sod all!)
But that's comparing a ~1yr old version of OS X with a 7+ year old version of Windows. XP 64 and Vista 64 both support 8Gb.Because unlike windows, OS X does actually work perfectly with 8Gb
EDIT: Ah, nice edit!

All this hating, Im wondering how many people have actually tried it!
So far Win 7 seems like a step in the right direction performance wise, and this is coming from someone that loathes Vista!

Which ones? They all work here.
Terminal Services Manager.
Active Directory Users and Computers.
I am using build 6956.
Ah, the Server adminpak, not the locally installed ones that come with windows? Not got that installed - I just always used RDP to the server if I need them.

Hence my Windows 7 better be good
It should be out the same time as Snow Leopard and I'll be using them side by side on a desktop and laptop so we will see what happens.Nope, nice official Windows XP SP2 disk.
I have a SP3 disk now thanks to my uni so that'll be going on next.
Luckily I guess cos I want to increase the size of that partition to 20Gb so the CAD program will fit on it properly!
Mac OS X will never support a PC, because that would be bad for Apple's business. There even appears to be some code included in Mac OS that causes Kernel Panics (crashes) when you're attempting to install it on non-apple hardware.
