Windows 7
We received our site license copy of Windows 7 on Monday. I dropped it onto a dvd (it is WAY to big to fit the installer on a cd) and ran it on a new Dell 2.8ghz with 4 gig of ram and 150gig HD. It took 18 minutes from the time I repartitioned the drive until I was logging into windows 7. So far security is so tight that would be a nightmare for our domain users (we are working on that but tight security is actually a good thing) and everything is running smooth as silk at this moment. Much better performance than vista on the same boxes we have tested it on so far. Looks like Microsoft's every other OS is junk rule is standing true.
Examples Windows 3.0 - junk Windows 3.1 - good windows 3.11 - junk windows 95 (original 16 floppy rev) - decent windows 95A (the first cd release) - junk windows 95B - (decent but became 950C in three days after release to beta testers so it doesnt REALLY count) windows 95C - good windows 98 - junk windows 98 SE (second edition) - good windows ME - JUNK (althought if you didnt install any drivers or updates it was usable. . . . . . yeah) windows XP - good (great after service pack 2) windows vista - JUNK windows 7 - good (so far) Yes I know I left out NT 3.5, 3.5.1, 4.0, and 2000. That is because they were actually part of the NT server/workstation series of OSs NOT the desktop series of OSs. XP was also in the workstation line, but was a good stable OS after service pack 2 (assuming the installer and user were not completely brain dead) Just thought you would like to know GoodOlBoy
