- hahah how so?zarkonite
- vista vs leopard i found vista far superior, both on the mbp and pc desktopdeathboy
- far better as in surpasses in many more places, some smaller gains some larger but most seem to be betterdeathboy
- OSX tiger is so over rated...Killer
- not to mention better/more hardware/software/tw... and such. but knowledge does play a factordeathboy

I'm very nearly about to put my fist through my screen...which would be silly as it's not the screen's fault.

all trolling aside...
I'd be curious to know if much of Windows 7's performance improvements are due to the fact that most Windows 7 installs so far have been clean installs, done without all the crapware that comes with OEM computer installs from the manufacturer...
.i.e. Vista laptops with 1 gig of RAM often had a few too many megs wasted by crapware installed by the factory in order to get kickbaks from crapware vendors and make pricepoints.... if this continues on Win7 laptops, we may not have such an improvement except via Moore's law...

Don't forget to unlock the hidden admin account using command prompt:
net user administrator /active:yes
Net user administrator password (optional)
Log off and the true admin account will be unlocked.

You SSD Drive is probably the problem, seriously.

Let's just pretend, for a second, that I hadn't been using computers for over 25 years. Let's pretend I'm just some normal schmo whose bought their first computer. I'd be completely fucked right now.

- Did you use Vista or are you coming from XP?designbot
- Who? Me? :{Redmond
- naw, detritusdesignbot
- Aye, I'm coming straight from XP, though I've used Vista quite a lot.detritus
- Unfortunately...detritus
- Oh, I was just curious...because yeah win 7 is really similar to Vista just way better. If you coming straight from XP it would be a big learning curve.designbot
- a big learning curve. Took me awhile to get used to the difference.designbot

My friends have no problems with them, but I think once I get mine, it'll only be used as scratch/swap/recording to discs.

glad to hear. i've got a pc laptop at home (mac at work) and vista kills me. i like XP.
is it worth the upgrade or should i stay with an OS that makes me drink and scream at an inanimate laptop like some insane hobo (or like an average scot).

Probably timelined, but If you still have a student e-mail account or know someone who does, you can buy Win7 business or home premium for $29.99. Download and burn ISO.

Can you point me in the direction of these Win7/SSD problems you speak of, designbot? I can't find anything?
