And Mac lovers, just freakin' shut up. Yes, Macs may look pretty but THEY DO NOT WORK LIKE PCs. If you think they're so great, name me at least 5 things that macs can do that PCs cant, or at least Macs can do and PCs can 2.]]>Feb 4th 2009 2:56PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 3:43AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:42PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:09PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/

I would say majority of computers that were designed to run Windows XP within the past 4 years are capable of running Vista with a modest RAM upgrade. Windows 7 is supposed to be even more efficient than Vista was. If your computer is older than that then you need to get with the times.

I installed "Windows 7 Ultimate" on a Celeron - 2.6 Ghz Pc with 1 GB Ram. Yea, that's the minimum RAM for Win7, but that's more than enough for a great XP machine. My video resolution is 1024 X 768, which is wonderful for most home and business applications. "Win7" complains on even standard simple tasks such as Spider Solitaire. If it can't run a simple program without pain, why would I want it for more complex issues?

Seems to me that Win7 (or Vista) is simply a shill for the purchase of newer hardware.]]>Feb 4th 2009 3:47PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/
Like you, I'm also giving Win7 beta a try. Unlike you, I'm not really having any problems.

My system is an older Pentium 4 1.6gHz, 1GB PC133 RAM, 50GB partition (on a 250GB drive) with a 256MB video card.

I am running Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean Online with no real problems (aside from lag from the internet).

If it's not able to run Spider Solitaire, you're having other issues. You might want to check into your drivers or your install.

No, I don't have Vista... I'm running XP Pro on my other drive, and it runs good also with this same setup. I've been happy with it.]]>Feb 4th 2009 5:15PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/

p.s. you forgot to mention after the probably absurd price if the ultimate edition that everyone will pirate it instead :) ]]>Feb 5th 2009 4:38AMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:29PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:34PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:35PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/
I am "assuming" that Microsoft did not allowed companies that sell PC's to do this so that they can push their Vista on to the consumer's. Hey we are not stupid consumers, we like reasonable choices. Maybe that is why some of the companies that sold their products are going out of business. Poor C city.]]>Feb 4th 2009 2:39PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:44PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 2:55PMhttp://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/http://www.switched.com/2009/02/03/windows-7-to-come-in-six-flavors/Feb 4th 2009 3:27PM
