Windows 7 flies off virtual shelf

[john]

Pre-Ordered my copy of Pro from PC World as they were cheapest for Pro

I'm sure there will be a copy for me on my Technet + account - most of MS stuff is........

Problem I'm having is the more I have to use MS stuff these days the more I hate it. Just a massive of WAD of bloated code....

Run Linux and you can always be up to date

 

Wish Linux had better support for gaming. I think the whole movement towards it would speed up incredibly if games ran better on this OS.

 

Have run Wow in the past and other games and done this on Cedega and on the free WINE but it is nothing like as easy as running a game on Windows. An average family will have a at least one person that will want to play games. Ubuntu has got so damned easy to set up and use over the last year or two but on Linux in general gaming is poor. Even when the games do run they run with bad fps much of the time or with other glitches.

 

Windows 7 does look exciting though and i do want to play with it. Could not stomach Vista and still work mainly on XP at the min.

 

Ubuntu with all the eye candy addons can look amazing though. For a while i used it for my main PC.

 

Windows 7 for me though i think for a while!

Amazon said that sales of Windows 7 in the first eight hours it was available outstripped those of Windows Vista's entire 17 week pre-order period.

 

What a surprise almost everyone has a PC that will run Vista/Windows 7 now but when Vista came out very few people had the hardware to run it so why would they buy it.

 

 

Ordered mine from 'ahem' (says quietly) PC World as well
