Anyone upgrading to Windows 7?

[Andy Nguyen]

Officially, it's available today but people have used in the past several months. I used it briefly and liked it a lot.
Anyone plans to upgrade their Vista or XP to 7?

 

[koupparis]

I think I will. I was sold by the snap to edge feature, which makes tex and its result a lot easier to manage Of course I get a free upgrade so why wouldn't I? Although I think I may wait a month or two to have people work out the kinks, updates etc.

My XP Pro is totally fine. I don't see any reasons for upgrade now. Maybe for people who play 3D games it makes sense to upgrade, but not for me.

 

[Andy Nguyen]

How did you get the free upgrade, Bobby?
I recently bought two Lenovo netbooks with Vista installed. I have to check to if I can get 7 free.

Run it for a month with developer's tools; recommend

New laptop, Andy. (But there's also the not so legal legal copies which can be had for those inclined, if you know what stone to overturn.)

I just checked lenovo website and both my laptops are eligible for free upgrade (purchased between 06/09 and 01/10). It costs 17.03 to mail the disc. I'll pass

My Mac OSX 10.6 works great and my wife's Ubuntu laptop doesn't complain either

I'll probably give it a try. We've had 7 at work since it's early alpha releases - compliments of a CEO who used to be the #4 at Microsoft

Been using it for a couple of months now (free from MSDN since I'm a student). I think it's great. Definitely better than vista but probably a next generation version of XP. XP 2.0?

 

[Andy Nguyen]

In other words, what apps did you guys find incompatible with 7? Any must have or essential apps?

 

[Eugene Krel]

I have been using the free RC version since it came out when I need a windows box. No application trouble unless except with some random legacy ipod thing that only runs on xp.

I've been using Windows 7 on my 1 Ghz underpowered ultralight laptop for a few months now. It runs much better than Vista which was originally installed on it. Visual Studio 2008 runs fine.

BTW, I just installed OS X 10.5 too and it runs fine too.

I believe you need to be enrolled in a CIS course to take advantage of that site, but definitely correct me if I am wrong.

isn't C++ class from MFE is a CIS course? but yes it's not a CIS department course so probably if Dan can talk to them, this would probably work it out much easier!

I'm using Win 7 + VMware Fedora 12. It runs smooth and fast (compare to vista).
Still playing with linkage b/w host(win7) and client(Fedora). I got my sshd worked but not httpd. Win 7 introduced a new network configuration tool which is similar to vista but need some manual configuration for NAT on vmware.
