    Microsoft announced that they are going to release Windows 7 to replace Vista. I can't wait because Vista is bull****.

    I dunno how good or bad this is gonna be, but it's kinda exciting.

    I've heard from quite a few people that they simply LOVE it.. Even Linux users say they like windows 7 :)

    It's fast, it's simple, it's what windows should allways have been.

    They also finally made it possible to use 8 gigs of ram on a 32-bit operating system :)

    haha nice cartoon
    I've never even tried/seen vista, didn't see much point considering pretty much everyone trash talks it, even like hardcore windows fans
    for now I'm fine with xp, we'll see how this 7 is once it comes out

    :lol: I stumbled on that a few days ago.

    7 should be pretty great. I really want to put the beta on my laptop, but I think it's too risky.

    You can try the beta if you want, but I don't want it to be shit when I upgrade. Are you sure they won't release it until next year? Because I want it now >:) . Does anybody have a screenshot of it, cause I'm thinking about trying out beta?

    Hahaha. Whatever. Because in the end, the world will always have Mac in their hearts. I don't care if they have WIndows 8, or 007, or w/e :)

    Downloaded the beta yesterday, I'm going to install it once I get my backup drive ready (hopefully). I'll be using it as my main operating system mainly because I really want to help beta testing it, since I think it might just be Vista with some things taken off + a new shiny skin applied.

    Does Windows 7 take up more memory? Also, should I replace XP with Windows 7 or is XP better?
