What is Windows 7?

[coolnewyorker]

I opened W7 and I could not log in as if I am not Forum member. But I saw same familiar names among posters and moderators. Is W7 separate from FORUM? I need to register there, too? & what sort of stuffs is W7 for?

 

[Airbot]

Yeah, it's seperate. You have to register, it says it right at the top. lol
It's for Windows 7, the next windows operating system. They talk about everything windows 7, most of the members have windows 7 test builds.

Windows 7 is the new Windows OS Microsoft is going to release. Yes you have to register cause its a different forum.

Oh no. Another OS to start hating first.... all over again?

Lol, pretty much. I'm actually going to start running a dual boot with Vista & XP on my other comp. just see what the hell is really going on in W7 so far. It looks pretty straight so far. I've done a good bit of reading on the W7 Forums and I'm convinced I should give it a try.

Not sure what you mean by another forum to start hating - but most of us there are already beta testing W7 - and we like what we're seeing and using.

Somehow I misread that - my apologies - don't know why it said 'forum'

Hello CNY.

You won't hate Windows Se7en; it's actually quite good right from the start. They're going to have a public beta release coming very soon. Give it a try if you get the chance.











Later Ted

I am a certifiable BETAphopic.

Besides, how is it gonna be distributed? I have a hunch limitedly? Only to techies and gurus? I am so in love with Vista 64 bits, I'd hate to move on...hate first before falling in love ....all over again. Oy!!!

Hi CNY,

I Am typing this from within Windows 7 64Bit

although this is the first released Pre-Beta (Alpha?), it is that stable that I rarely feel the need to boot back into Vista - it's that good.

As for the official beta release this will as I understand things be available to anyone willing to sign up on the Microsoft website. And there's always the dual boot option

I have a question now that someone else has presented the W7 thread, any Idea of the relatively acturate release date?

 

[Barman58]

Retail release is stated officially as 1st Quarter 2010 but there is a lot of rumour that this will actually be 4th quarter 2009 ready for the holiday season

All this information is available at the Seven Forums - Click on the link at the top of the page or in my sig and take a look for yourself :D

Public Beta - as in open to the public.

If you like Vista (and I loved Vista until I got my hands on W7) you'll be smitten with W7. It has more features for Vista's new UI, better compatibility with older hardware, it runs a lot faster (I'd be as bold as to say twice as fast - *easily*) and looks a lot smoother.

Trust us - this is not fanboyism - this is the honest truth.

I was excited about Vista and its features, even those that a some people don't like, such as UAC - but I am ecstatic over W7.
