go.tagjag.com – During a live call session the other night, people were on the phone to gab about Windows 7. We talked about everything from security to aesthetics. This particular caller, Sonu, is a member of our live community on a regular basis. He is a gamer, and had something interesting to note in favor of Windows 7 that I hadn’t yet heard. I’m wondering if you are experiencing this, as well. twitter.com – chris.pirillo.com

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.”

xp is better for gamers the only way win7 is a gamer upgrade if if you r running vista to begin with then go to 7
at 3:40 pm
Since i got Win7 none of my games work. BF2 is not even running and i have a double ping in Cod Waw after i join the server. If the game shows 45 i get 90-100 and lag. So i will go back to XP just because of this…

windows 7 also automatically adjusts the picture aspect ratio to fit your monitor in video games.
Like if a games native resolution is 800×600(4:3) or 1024×768(4:3) and your using a widescreen 16:9 or 16:10 monitor, it will fit that 4:3 picture as 4:3 instead of filling up the whole screen and squishing the image… fan fucking tastic!
That could would rather lose the internet than windows just like he couldnt live without his apple… Duh! Apple fan boys are the most arrogant dweebs ever.

Stupid companies like infinity ward aren’t focusing on the pc version of their games. It is all about the xbox and ps3. It really sucks!

@jwd0808 well he said choose between windows or internet. how is that confusing?
any sane person would choose internet over windows; well i most certainly would choose internet. i mean how hard can it be to get used to linux, or maybe install mac OS
at 3:40 pm
hmm.. kinda.

I’m not sure about your analogy, but what Chris is saying makes no sense. He didnt say Windows + internet is better or worse. He implies that it is either/or with no mention of other OSs. Living without Windows or the Internet was the option. He then said ‘how far can you get with a computer that isn’t connected to the internet’. He was mixing his messages as he spoke. Chris was confusing this poor kid with smug convoluted double-speak only because the guy uses Windows. Not very encouraging.

that’s the most amazing thing i’ve ever heard.
now i could really use some fries with ketchup.
