Microsoft: Windows 7 is the fastest selling OS in history, over 90 million licenses sold

Not enough reasons for me to justify the cost to jump to windows 7 yet.
Vista has been great for me (mostly).

Hopfuly Micro$oft will get the message,
Vista = Disappointing Pile of Crap = No Money!
7 = Good = You get my money

I have brought 4 license and planning to buy two more. I like Windows 7

Win 7 x64

I been using the released product since the first week of release, in this case Windows 7 x64 Home Premium and I'm quite happy with it.

I've experienced using Windows 7 in one of my friend's pc, it's a great and user-friendly operating system, the whole feature is nice for average users.

I don't think is worth the extra money since is an old computer, better save that for your new build, well that's what I think.

no i won't be getting windows 7. i ran the RC for a year and its new 'features' i don't use, it's way overpriced for what you get over vista, the new task bar sucks, it's colors and backgrounds are lame and effeminate, vista runs great on my computer already and it even has directx 11. i don't get why all these people think 7 is so great it f%*cking blows! this is bullsh!t marketing for lemmings at its finest people.

I am still on Windows XP and I don't plan to upgrade any time soon. I've tried Windows 7, and it's nice, but my Windows XP boots in less than 20 seconds. Now that's awesome.

Vista was a flop and there are more people with Computers/ laptops than when XP was released. I am not Supriced by this news at all. I still on Vista, I will get 7 when I next upgrade hardware at end of this year.

I pre-ordered Win7 Pro after using BETA 7077. Ive not looked back at XP ive had no problems. Just need a new to replace my HIS ATI 4790 x2 for a new ATI DX11 compatiable card.

The problem with VISTA was it had a bad rep from the beginning with being slow/not compatiable with hardware. I had to fix many friends/family PC and laptops after just crashing or work around issues with hardware which wasnt particulary old but didnt work as it should of. I borrowed a copy of vista off a friend to see if it was as bad as people said.The PC crashed and I couldnt repair Windows. I was back on XP within 8 hours.

People didnt want to touch it and most PCs had to be upgraded to it wasnt being taken up by companies.

The company I work for will be rolling out Win7 to clients shortly, they didnt even think about using vista.

90 million legit copies, yet Bethesda refuses to support Fallout 3 on Windows 7. What really burns me (besides almost wasting $50) is that even though virtually all new PCs come with Windows 7, they continue to sell Fallout 3 with no warnings that it may not work.

I warmed up to XP, Vista, and loved 7.

My computer is a year old (2.4 quad, 8 gigs ram, 512 graphics) and it came with vista 64. I found it to be choppy and while not slow, not near as fast as it should of been. After i put 7 ultimate on it all i can say is OMG!! My computer runs like a dream now. Could go on and on about everything that i love on 7, but i will spare you. Just know that 7 outshines anything i had ever hoped for.

OK, Class Come to Order........

Is there anybody here that thinks that Vista WASN'T the beta of Windows 7?

M$ seem to have a habit of releasing a clunker OS from time to time. Methinks it's to boost sales of their next version, while attempting to compensate for rising cost in employee benefit packages, most notably the rise in health care premiums . So now, everybody says, "wow", this is so much better than Vista. Of course it is, it is after all, what Vista should have been.

For an improved overview of this marketing technique, please try this at home kids; bang your head against the wall for a while, then see how good it feels when you stop.

Then, (if you still can), think back to "Windows ME", and ponder why that was called the "mistake edition".

Try to assess punishment or praise to M$ by evaluating how, and in what proportion, these two concepts, "guilt by association" and "improvement by comparison", apply to the Vista versus Windows 7 controversy.

For extra credit, write this childhood accusation 100 times, "yeah, you did that accidentally on purpose".

Thus endeth the lesson.

Wow, I may be the only person in the world who actually liked Windows ME! Or maybe that is just my brain justifying that i actually paid for it. But i never had any issues with reliability, compatibility, or anything else.

Very fair. I'm using also Windows 7, and it's unbelievable good (Microsoft). I always have the feeling that it works fast like Windows XP, and the looking of Windows Vista

Yeah, they toned down UAC, >>AND << Superfetch's memory hogging, so as you say "it works like XP and it looks like Vista".

So great, they went through 2 OSes to get one that performs like XP. Oh baby, baby, that's technology on the march for sure.

Don't get me wrong rajmond, I have a copy of Win 7 and I love it. But as of yet I don't feel I have the control that I do with XP. I suppose that will come as I familiarize myself with what's available in the way of process and startup managers for it
.
In fairness to Vista, I have Home Basic on a laptop. It isn't that bad, but it isn't that good either. The laptop came with it, I wouldn't have paid for a copy to use as an "upgrade".

In fairness to the ME sect, Windows 2000 is still better, and in some arenas still in use. (Although, that seems like it might be a security nightmare).

Truth be told, that's what's important, whether or not it worked for you. It is still nicknamed the "mistake edition", for better or worse.

Vista doesn't give me problems, but here again, I don't expect much from it either. I only use the laptop it's on, pretty much as a digital photo frame. One big plus is that it runs a 5 year old version of Photoshop Elements 3.0 (!!) without incident.

My copy of PSE 7 (1 Yr old) runs like s*** on Windows 7.

I won't comment on the underlying argument about health-care costs of MS :rolleyes:

However, I think as Vista was a radical departure from XP; MS didn't prepared its customer base enough to take such a drastic change from the way they were used to (with xp/2k) in the olden days; secondly, I believe it wasn't ready, they tried to rush it out, instead of taking may be few more Quarters to prepare it for prime time (case in point SP1).

Anyway, thats history; however, luckily I never had any issues with any windows OS since 3.x days (back then it was a devil to make your sound card or mouse work, which we take for granted nowadays ).

Well i am still using xp sp2. So far, i am quite happy for it, not seeing any motivation of switching to 7. Maybe window 8 is the right call

I have used the last three Windows OS: XP, Vista, Windows 7. Win7 is by far the best of them and have the best compatibility and support for devices. Nice interface, easy to use... It makes sense to me that kind of numbers. It seems that Microsoft learned from the mistakes of the past (Vista) and made a very nice, light (generally) and stable OS.
