Windows 7

[Aquattro]

I've been using it for a few months, I like it. Hopefully Vista goes away soon

I guess I could try installing it on my Intel Mac.......Naw!

But seriously, hopefully MS can give you guys something better than Vista.

My Bud has it running on his Intel/Mac he was surprised how easy it was, he was expecting driver issues but had none.

Yeah right. I said that when I had Win 98
They will phase out XP and then no updates.

I've been using Vista since I bought my computer, and it's been waaaaaaay better (and exceptionally more stable) than any computer I've spent any time on that used XP.

That said, I'm buying a Mac very soon. And this is the first I've heard of Windows 7... thanks for the heads up!

XP will not run on any quad core chips only on dual core, so unless you planning on keeping your machine till you die, we all gona have to decide if we want to run 7 or not.

Where did you get that info from?!?!... I just bought 2 quad core machines and installed xp on them with no problems.

That being said I am going to install Windows 7 on my laptop and play around with it. Anyone know if there are any issues with XP and W7 both running on a network?

Yeah but I can do anything I want or need under Mac OS.

That being said, I do have a slightly older XP box hooked up to the flat screen TV which I use occasionally as a media player or for the odd game. But it is frustrating. Had a video card fail (which got replaced under warranty) but was a pain to sort out. Now the ATI Catalyst Control Center won't run and I just haven't had time to sort that out. I've never had a major problem on a Mac that couldn't be sorted out fairly quickly and the only hardware failure I ever had was a faulty CD ROM that was promptly replaced under warranty.
