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.”

Any word on when the serato team will come up with window 7 64bit drivers?
Maybe when Windows 8 comes out … lol
thanks for the info

Our Community Rocks! The Vista O.S. in general was horrible!! No matter how much ram you’d install Vista would always eventually eat up half which results in higher CPU usage. Windows 7 is the footprint of the XP O.S. I dumped Vista 2 weeks ago & upgraded to (7) Home Premium. I disabled the Configs (Brian’s Suggestions) as I had done in Vista. 75% via taskbar PROCESSES were gone in a Vista vs (7) comparison which results in very low CPU usage on 64bit systems. Probally applies to 32bit too. P&E.

To Brian VDJ is all ready compatible. Whatever midi controllers you are gonna use with VDJ search the manufactures driver updates for our Windows 7 64bit O.S. Many are Exe. files & will initialize there self. In VDJ go to config-mappers-check mark midi search & if done correctly you are good to go. Just Make sure you have the most current Mappings available. I’m goofing with that DP2 & VDJ 6.0.6 & it’s really fun. Mac is Mac & PC is PC. Utilize what you have. The focus is on our clients not us:)

I haven’t been able to succsessfuly map the SL1 or the American Audio DP2 with it
at 3:37 am
Oh noes PC vs Mac debate lol Any way I’m surprised the take up of 64 bit systems has been sooo slow both with PC’s and Mac’s..runing a MAC in 64 bit is just as much as of a pain in the arse as running 64bit on a PC at the moment. I used to hate those get a mac comments from smug a*holes but I recently just got my self one hahah I must say it’s quite nice
at 3:37 am
guys if you are using any new controllers with virtual dj gotts log on to all the manufacturers web pages and download all new drivers… if you don’t you will lose all the mapped buttons.. and the display will be crazy… windows 7 needs updated drivers for all controllers and sound cards which work with xp and vista
this works with all controllers bar the dmc2 which i own if any1 has any ideas PLEASE HELP i have lost the display on the controller.
at 3:37 am
@briansredd Brian you are most welcome! It is simply making an informed decision. Go have another smoke, HA!
at 3:37 am
Hey idk what u need help wityh on virtual dj for win7 but it works fine for me

Good deal its up and running. One of the hardest things troubleshooting people’s computers is doing it over the net. So many variables. Cool that the community pulled through for ya.
If you have any advice on the SL 1200 from your 2007 Euro models about where the selector switch is for voltage. Would help out here. Starting to wonder if I want to take my decks with me or sell them off in Japan first. Next destination has 240v not 110v
at 3:38 am
@midnightcharger2 Only the Euro models (to my knowledge) have voltage selecters on them. Not sure if I still own a Euro. I’ll have to check to see what I have and get back to ya

Lol.
Did I hear some 8th wonder by sugarhill gang!?!?
that lil sample made me go play the whole thing

This is why I am subscribed to Brian. Great video as always!!

Windows is inherently not optimal for media, especially live media.
Windows (though for many, not noticeable on a “faster” computer) has latency issues.
Latency is a medical condition that can lead to irritation of the mind, broken input devices and cracking of the LCD panel.

Glad to see you got it working. Us Mac users just love our MacBooks, thats all. It is a big investment but worth it to me. Does everyone need to use a Mac, Hell no. But as always I suggest regardless of what it is, use what works for you and fits your budget… end of story. Thanks for all of the info with Serato & Win 7:)
at 3:38 am
@MakeItFunkyProds This was a community effort! The UAC setting came from Rane, but most of this came from our community. Doing a fresh install with the drivers deleted as well as the program itself with the SL1 box connected was just a lucky guess.

How odd my edition loaded when I did a upgrade from vista.
I have found in the past if the ‘Registery’ is not cleaned (Use FREE Ver of IObit Advanced SystemCare 3 to do this) past settings and driver data carries over to the next version.
Don’t forget to return your original Win7 settings or your computer will be open.
Love my Win7!

@MTRadio Thank you for choosing mac, now shut up. HA!
at 3:38 am
@mtm1104 Yeah figured as much. HA!
at 3:38 am
Thanks for making this video, Brian. I am one of the people who responded to the other video. I knew it was something with the OS deleting the drivers on restart. Now I see why. I have a question though. Did you figure this out on your own or did you get support from the folks at Serato?

I honestly don’t think you need to restart the computer each time. Just unplug the box and plug it back in when your decks arn’t showing in the program. You don’t even need to close SSL. This happens on my mac occasionally as well when I leave the SL1 plugged in when I turn off the computer and turn it back on. It seems to just be a problem with, “Hey I don’t see you but your there” kind of thing within the computer. Let us know if that restarting step becomes redundant.

I had a mac and it was brilliant until I tried using it with my sound card, DJ interface and DMX interface of which non were compatible with mac.
at 3:38 am
i think if you install it with it plugged in, it seems to work 90% of the time. i have 64bit windows 7 and it worked for me the first time i installed it with it plugged in.
at 3:38 am
with a mac u would not need all this effort
