WesParmalee Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Just trying to start some conversation, are you all going to switch to Windows 7 when its released as a Final? I will still keep using Windows Vista for a little while longer after Win7 is released, how about all of you? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceDogg Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm really impressed with Win7. I'm currently using RC as my main OS. It's way ahead of Vista in performance. Not much of a gamer anymore though so I don't have to worry about that. Use to I would wait for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qdave Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 i surely will. i much enjoy RC version and i cant wait to switch to final one once its released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonicgoofy Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm running the RC on my laptop, and I've got to admit that I just love it. I will install it on all my computers when it is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ba'al Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Using Win7 as main OS since public beta (Build 7000), works fine. Huge improvement over Vista which was nothing but a royal pain in the ass when it was released :x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathray Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'll switch over to it, and pay for the ultimate edition most likely (had xp license from school before, never used vista) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User6060 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 as soon as its RTM i'm going to check compatibility with my firewire FA-66 soundcard, trigger finger midi, and behringer bcf2000, if its all spiffy im going to upgrade...however, i can't use a computer if my music making peripherals don't work. they all have vista drivers so im sure it will be fine :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pupik Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah, but at least one month plus after the RTM. Just to be safe with all the software/drivers upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted June 1, 2009 Veteran Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'll switch when I get it. I've got no problems staying on Vista until then though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9UnknownMen Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've switched as far as I'm concerned. The IT guys gave me the all clear so I use it on the VPN and at the labs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slackerr Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Already switched to and so it will continue. Faster (sometimes) than XP, nicer (greatly) than Vista. If MS will not set insanely high prices - it would be a wonderful OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I am already on 7 RC right now and don't plan on moving back to Vista at all! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierce28 Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Running Windows 7 RC now as my primary OS and will be switching to RTM once it becomes available on my MSDN Academic Alliance account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrian Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've already long since switched to Windows 7 as my primary and sole OS. Installing the RTM when it's released is inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Observer Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 yea sould of done a poll! but i have to say ive been using it for sometime and going back to vista seems dead sad! ill be getting it the day it comes out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvo Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yeah probably. Its very solid on the laptop so once it's out, it's going on my desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faks Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 well i use Windows Vista Ultimate SP2 and works fine :) win 7 maybe when it's will be final or when will release sp1 for it than maybe i will think about it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMartian Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 (edited) It would probably be the first windows since 95 that i'd buy before a service pack was released. Edited June 1, 2009 by GreenMartian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambroos Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'll switch over to it, and pay for the ultimate edition most likely (had xp license from school before, never used vista) Ultimate won't be in Retail, but you're not really missing out on anything if you're using Professional unless you're gonna use Applocker or Enterprise-wide search etc...

NienorGT Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I don't know, but one thing is sure, there will be more switches to 7 than what Vista got at release :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Wizard Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'm not going to switch on this computer, but if I build/buy a new one in the future I will definitely :) My graphics card & sound card are both not recognised by 7, so the largest resolution I can get is 1024 x 768 (on a 19" monitor), and I have no sound on it :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can update drivers...If your computer meet 7's req. you should have drivers available. Vista Drivers should work also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViZioN Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'll upgrade when I get my new rig which will probably be around the end of the year. I'm pretty happy on Vista SP2 atm though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sask Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'll definitely be going to Windows 7 from Vista right away. I'm one of those guys that needs the latest and greatest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGM Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I have it on my work laptop... IT are perfectly happy to support it, and I'm perfectly happy to utilise it. So, all in all, surweeeeeeet! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
