Asides 
The curtain has been raised (slightly) on the next installment of Microsoft’s Windows operating system – Windows 7.
Microsoft hope it will bring the internet, mobile phone and PC closer together. But reviews have so far been mixed, although reviewers have been limited to trying the (pre-beta version).
The full version is expected to be capable of working with a touchscreen screen, navigating documents and the Web similar to Apple’s iPhone. It is officially released at the end of 2009.
“I have seen the future, and it is bleak. Windows 7, the next big version, the one that was supposed to fix everything that was wrong with Vista, is here (at least in pre-beta form), and I can now say – with some confidence – that Microsoft has once again dropped the ball.
“Overall, I’m extremely disappointed with Windows 7. Far from atoning for Vista’s sins, Windows 7 simply carries them forward, visiting them upon yet another generation. Windows 7 is no panacea. Rather, it’s just more of the same: slow, bloated, and frustrating as hell.”
“When it comes to Windows 7, Microsoft hasn’t just learned from the mistakes of Windows Vista. It has picked up a thing or two from Apple’s OS X, judging by first impressions.
“It’s not clear how big the changes are so far. If you put the beta-build of Windows 7 side-by-side with Windows Vista, you’d be hard-pressed to spot the differences. Yes, some of the icons look slightly different and there’s no sidebar, but it’s essentially still the Vista look and feel. But that changes when you start to use Windows 7.
“For a start the OS won’t nag you as much; many notifications are banished to a control panel, you get to approve icons before they show up in the system tray and Microsoft has reined in Vista’s useful but annoying UAC prompts; you can choose which ones you want to see or turn them off altogether.”
“Initially Windows 7 looks similar to Vista, but there a lot of new features that have been added. Under the skin, Microsoft has been working hard. Boot times have been reduced, and certainly the review laptop Microsoft provided has a fairly snappy boot time.
“Microsoft has been working with OEMs to improve battery life – simple things such as reducing the timer frequency can improve battery life by up to 10 per cent. The networking stack has had new diagnostics added to help users figure out exactly where the problem lies.
“So, is this all a big deal? It’s not a change to the fundamental core of Windows, and most of the improvements sound relatively small. But taken together, they seem to address many of the issues people have had for Windows. I’m looking forward to trying it out, starting this afternoon.”

and this is where Microsoft Screws the people They offer a new 64 bit system and all the software that they have is still 64 bit. and if you want 64 bit versions of your software, you have to pay for it, then MS gets the royalties. Oh and did you notice that yo no longer fill in your name , address and other data? this means that you have no rights at all, MS has all the rights even the rights to use your stuff. even the right to remove drivers and such .

My laptop has windows 7 64bit and serato runs great except once I set my cue points, I can’t replay them using 1,2,3,4,5 etc. My studio comp is still running XP and I never have had a problem to date with any music programs. XP is still the best for music.

I just spent over 2 grand on equipment and cannot get it to work with windows 7. Freakin’ awesome.
at 3:37 am
I had so many problems with my windows laptop running serato. i had a gig to do a while back… the gig was on a friday my computer crashed on a wed. took it to best buy and they had to send it out for two weeks to get fixed. i bought a mac and from last year till now no problems….its expensive but its worth it
at 3:37 am
what if my record doesnt even spin on the comp?
at 3:37 am
lolz

Hey Paul
I did install a 32 bit partition on the machine (sepperate HD) & had the exact same issues
at 3:37 am
Having a 64 bit OS is just for geeks and gurus really, as 99% of software and drivers are still 32 bit.
Fine, if you are only running software that has a 64 bit install and 64 bit drivers, there’ll be no issues, but when you’re running 32 bit stuff then there’s a whole other layer of translation going on in the background giving the computer more work to do.
Especially for audio apps, try and avoid running 32 bit software on 64 bit OS as even if it runs it’s not optimal.
at 3:37 am
good video as always!!! Finally posted my first gig log check it out!!

@bbp546
I’ve ran the beta and release candidates since around april, and the only problems I’ve seemed to have were with some hardware and drivers, like what’s happening to Brian.
If you’re looking for a cheap Win7 go search win741 on google.

Damn.

The problem is most proberly the drive for the sound card itself. When MS bring out a new OS everybody else has to play catch up. Until your sound card and software provider create a updated driver for windows 7 there will always be problems. When Vista 1st came out software was crashing all over the place, until updates were put in place. I think it’s just a waiting game. Hope it gets solved soon.

@briansredd
Glad to hear it. =D
It’s better than not working at all, is it? lol
at 3:37 am
@Maticus2009 JUST did that and then read this post. This seems to make things work … better? when I reboot, it kicks the SL1 box off. However, if you unplug it and then plug it back in, it AUTOMATICALLY installs the driver and all is well? My findings are I have to do this every time I reboot, but so far, so good! Now just need to get it to work nicely with VDJ and my bitch is over!

right click>properties>compatability I’d choose WIN XP Service pack 3, try them all.

@djandrewfelix no love in Safe Mode for me
at 3:37 am
@djandrewfelix Alright, let’s try Safe Mode
at 3:37 am
@EmpireDJService I tried installing it in the Virtual XP. No love
at 3:37 am
Alright, update: I installed a partition on my computer with Windows 7 32 bit. NO LOVE! Still fucking hates me.
Going to try something else tomorrow. Nephew has a plan C. Stay Tuned!
at 3:37 am
wow, nice setup
at 3:37 am
Windows 7 Professional Has Windows XP Mode since most percent of software for the PC is runed on Windows XP.
By using your mouse, press the Right Click button on the Sceensaver and select Properties. On the Properties menu, select Appearance. On the Appearance menu, select Windows XP Mode and click ok.
Make sure that your Drivers are updated to 64-Bit not 32-Bit since most percent of Drivers on Windows 7 are runed on 32-Bit.
Hope this helps.

i have mac OSX nice computer is windows 7 good?
at 3:37 am
@djandrewfelix your suggestion worked for me
at 3:37 am
Something else that that helped me once now that I think of it, try install the driver in SAFE MODE (w/networking – if needed). I don’t have that software, but you never know…
at 3:37 am
Yeah it’s probably the 64-bit operating system. ever since I upgraded to 64 bit, a ton drivers have not be functioning properly. If the drivers are available to on the serato website separately (w/o software) try installing them in a windows xp compatibility mode. This is how I got half my drivers to work…
