2009 is too early for windows 7 imo. if anything 7 should be a mega service pack 2 update for vista.

Not really, it's the standard 3 year cycle. Just your not used to it :p XP was out for way too long. Things are just going back to how they should be now.

just what will it take to run 7?

what about windows 2010?

Any PC that can run Vista fine now, should be able to run Win 7 no worries. If anything, it will run it better (since 7 will be better optimized etc)

Wonder if it's better than Vista? XP was when it was in prerelease.

Was it? I remember it had a lot of problems with USB devices, not to mention it didn't support USB 2.0 which was around the corner at the time.

Gee... THERE ISN'T any special DRM in Vista... Why do people never understand that?

+1

Seriously now, if Vista has DRM that effected what I do, then I haven't seen any evidence of it. For example, I can rip music from CD's to MP3 in WMP11 without any problems, even funnier is that MP3 is a 'rip' option in WMP.

Agreed. After Vista you'd think MS would get totally away from the look and feel but if they are continuing to build on Vista then why not just call it Vista SP3.

Service Packs are only meant to have security fixes and other patches which have been available on Microsoft update for awhile and roll them into one big up date. It's rare that a Service Pack adds feature. Windows XP SP2 is an example of that. Windows 7 is all about adding more features, improving the design/GUI, performance and so on. Think of it like how Windows 98 and Windows 98SE are different from each other, but the same.

Yes, and Windows ME was different too!

Actually, Windows Vista's Help and Support defines a Service Pack as containing, Updates, Fixes and Features. I remember Jim Allchin defining Service Packs after NT 4 SP3 as being fixes only, looks like the Company has changed that policy.

    • Nvidia's GeForce NOW summer sale drops prices for Ultimate and Premium memberships

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
