go.tagjag.com – Josh called in last week during live calls to talk with me about Windows 7. His general opinion at first was just that Windows 7 is a “great operating system”. I had to chuckle at that, because I of course agree. As we talked more, we got into a bit of a discussion about how much better Windows 7 runs on our Macs inside of Boot Camp. In my opinion, anyway, Vista never did run well on any type of virtual machine. It just plain stunk. geeks.pirillo.com – http…

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.”

why do you people follow this Living breathing Mac advertisement.
Honestly he trash talks Windows, he hates Windows 7 as much as he hated Vista, he just won’t admit it, he’s pretending to like 7 so people won’t get mad at him “2 blue screens of death doing windows 7 on his touch screen”
LOL? First off touch computers are a joke second off Your fucking lieing man, even if u proved it nobodies gonna care christ you just suck with windows, i don’t think microsoft likes you man ur a fanboy.
at 3:37 pm
ahahahahah. “I’m sorry”
at 3:37 pm
I am in no means a fanboy, I use both Windows, Linux and Mac and you call me a fan boy I don’t like Vista, I like Xp, Ubuntu, 7 and many other operating systems. Here is my case ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS HAVE ISSUES, Mac included. I love Technology So you could call me a tech fanboy whatever, I am not hear to fight about which one is better, I am just expressing my opinon. No Fighting or fanboyness intended.

7 dollars ? 70 tips for winblows 7 ? I thought MS was the conman.
at 3:37 pm
macs are betta!!!
at 3:37 pm
i have been using vista as well since it came out, but i did tried the win 7 when i t was still beta, it the speed was just overwhelming, it was smooth and really nice, in comparision to vista is just much better and faster and will use your hardware much better as well.
at 3:37 pm
had vista on laptop since it came out and still have had no problems!
at 3:37 pm
Exactly! I haven’t seen UAC since the day I installed vista (nor have I had any other problems whatsoever)
at 3:37 pm
wow vista was a osx ripoff. and now windows 7 is a linux KDE 4.3 ripoff. they have the same widgets, the same sticky notes, the same look. fuck you microsoft do something innovative and something your own for once. i tried windows 7 and it sucks. i will always use linux … noway going back to that shit again.
at 3:37 pm
what’s the thing with UAC? You just go to Control Panel>User Accounts>Turn UAC on and Off and turn it Off..it doesn’t even want you to restart..
at 3:37 pm
it works flawlessly. And XP sucks major ass, it got old and it has too many viruses.
at 3:37 pm

Typical band wagon fanboy.
at 3:37 pm
i am running vista, never had problems, but i want windows 7 anyway.
at 3:37 pm
Tell me this, sir. What makes Windows 7 better than Windows Vista, besides the whole “I HATE UAC!” shit (which I believe is completely ridiculous)?
at 3:37 pm
froze up a lot LESS
it still freezes up….
at 3:37 pm
Windows 7 sucks major ass… XP Mode is the biggest fucking failure I’ve ever seen.
at 3:37 pm
I wonder if the 1st caller realizes that Windows 7 has the same underpinnings as Vista?

the read light in the headphone jack can be fixed with by sticking a paperclip in it. not necessary to download anything
at 3:37 pm
amen brother!
at 3:37 pm
windows sucks. done.
at 3:37 pm
Hey thnx for the feedback.
Im an old school gamer so I dont think I would be getting into Crysis or similar. I know bootcamp runs windows faster since its partitioned on the HD but I prefer VmW since you can use it as an extra app on your desktop. Overall, should I get a mac OR stick to another windows machine like this one:
I would love to have a mac and be able to do what I used to on my XP computer
at 3:37 pm
Same here ive never had any issues but im still upgrading
