Windows 7 is an Engineering master piece, it takes your computer to the ultimate level, and most computers can upgrade to it without upgrading hardware (first vista's problem).<br />Windows 7 is actually going to be faster than XP, because it has Direct2D design which is similar to the one that uses Linux. Using this feature, your computer doesn't have to worry that muchPhilippine Outsourcinghttp://www.openaccessmarketing.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340925130381043944.post-60874640579398680212010-01-28T09:07:24.461+02:002010-01-28T09:07:24.461+02:00I got 7 on my MSI Netbook and it runs perfectly al...I got 7 on my MSI Netbook and it runs perfectly all the time.ZXThttp://www.nothingbutrandom.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340925130381043944.post-51905264867158131462010-01-26T15:10:09.812+02:002010-01-26T15:10:09.812+02:00Hi Peter, thanks for your feedback.

Microsoft has bigger things to deal with and its unlikely that MIcrosoft will dominate the space. Have a significant share yes, but not be the dominant player. Look at MS ISa server, CRM - yes they have market shareNick Galeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807733715925574961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340925130381043944.post-20889242063427744282010-01-26T14:16:26.119+02:002010-01-26T14:16:26.119+02:00Nick,

However - my main concern is for upgraders. Microsoft still has not provided a seamless way to migrate Windows from one computer to another. Also the installed base of XP is huge, and there is no "in place" upgrade from XP to 7.

I used it on some old apps that i still use and it worked great after running some compatibility wizard - and these were apps developed some 8-9 years ago.

We have migrated my laptop (HP8730w) to W7 Ultimate and other than a few driver issues on older peripherals, it hums. We have no been using it in the office on three Acer Veriton machines with Intel Processors and maxed out ram. Again, a real winner. Our staff loves it and again only a few Bruce G.

But in reality we have a huge base of installed Windows XP machines (and lot of software on them!). My company supporting many users and we not see a way to move this large base on new system. Another problem - corporate standards. If some company was installed Win XP for 10 years, it will be problematic to Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06076900104781064410noreply@blogger.com
