I miss vista guys
I did upgrade to Window 7 Ultimate from Vista Ultimate. I did a clean install for a peace of mind. Now I do miss my vista. My Vista was booting under 15 seconds and everything was quick and slick with my overclock E8400. Window 7 boot withing 60 seconds and my web browsing has changed also and pretty slow. I have no driver issue, but I am still applying microsoft update. I will leave it for a week and see how it will perform.
I miss you Vista. Thierry.

Have you installed all the appropriate drivers for your video card, etc.? That could be causing some choppiness and interaction issues. I just made the switch last night and everything is smooth as silk. Boot times aren't 15 seconds, but they're not horrible either.

I'm not sure when you guys are counting 15 seconds from, but mine also boots slightly faster in Windows 7 than Vista, also runs just a bit smoother.
Didn't install it at stock clock though... |

I think Vista, in its present state, is not as bad as its current reputation.

It's not that I dont/wont like Windows 7 or any other version of Windows .. I just think that there is way too much uncertainty and suffering surrounding most M$ releases. I'm happy that my system with Vista is working the way I want it .. I have no interest in scrubbing it all and install .. fix .. customize anymore.
Heck .. my Win7 RTM is sitting on my HDD as an ISO .. haven't even bothered with burning it onto media. Last edited by Statica; 11-03-2009 at 07:44 AM. |
