 Windows 7 RC
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/window ... nload.aspx
Been using it since about mid-beta, and now that the RC is out, I can safely say that Windows 7 is the best operating system I've ever used. Don't get me wrong, I like Vista, but it's got some serious drawbacks.
7 is far better optimized (Vista destroyed my 2.5 GB of DDR1 RAM and 5-year-old dual-core, even hard-drive access was torturous); 7 runs with almost no hiccups, consolidating all the conveniences added by Vista and toning down User Account Control (which is now a simple bar that you can find easily slide down because it's still slightly F*CKING annoying, and power-users and gamers don't need that shit).
All my games have run perfectly, all the drivers available are smooth and solid, I'd argue that it's a league more stable than XP, and it just. F*CKING. Works.
Finally, Microsoft. Thanks for gypping me on Vista, but now I can forgive you.
Above link lets you get an RC CD-key (32- or 64-bit) so long as you simply have a Microsoft Live account, and if they aren't handing out ISOs anymore, just check a Torrent site for build 7100 RC; it's what Microsoft recommends anyways, since they only distribute themselves for a limited time. You can use it 'til July of next year (when it starts annoying you and shutting down), so F*CK yeah!

You just suck a C*CK that's why you don't like it. But yea i use 7 on my laptop and it runs games that are so old that it shouldn't be compatible with but it is. I have no complaints till it starts that shut down every 2 hours next march. Till then I'm happy.

It was probably one of the worst $209 investments I've ever made. I find it is extremely hard to play video games with a giant dick in your ass.

I like Microsoft and I think Vista is awful.
Windows 7 looks good though, but I wanted to try tri-booting (XP, Ubuntu, 7) with two different drives and I just heard that isn't as cut and dry as I'd like it to be since 7 has it's own bootloader or whatever.

I concure. I am skipping Vista all together with my companies computers and waiting for Win7. I have a couple of test boxes on my network running Win7 and they are so much better than Vista. From a systems admin view, I hate Vista. But I use it at home on my gaming rig and it runs great. I'm definately awaiting the full release of Win7 though.

Try using it on a subpar computer. I couldn't even get CS to get constant 100 FPS because of all the dumbass shit happening on my desktop. This computer would probably run it fine, but I ♥ XP. Looking forward to 7 completely replacing it though.

I never said anything about hating MS, retard. I run vista on my laptop so I know it's a garbage OS. My OS of choice is XP.
