Hey, Alienware sent me a Windows 7 upgrade for free. Anyone using it and what do you think? Since my new computer came with Windows Vista Ultimate and a 4G ram, I'm wondering if I should just live with Vista now or step "up" to 7... What cha think?

Been using Win7 for months on several machines without issue. I think it's far more stable than Vista was.

Okay, so I drop my 1720 a few weeks ago and call my good Indian buddies at Dell customer care to repair it. They send me a box, I send it back, they fix it, I get it back-not perfect, I send it back again, they repair it again, I get it back-still not right, I go ballistic, I get brand new Alienware M17X
![]() This computer is the whip compared to my old Inspiron!!! Which I get to keep also...they didn't send a return box and they have nothing but an address and phone number for me... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by Amber Lamps; 10-29-2009 at 09:06 PM.. |

Tried 7 the other day, definatly a step above Vista, and comperable or better than XP. If I was still running Vista I would definately upgrade, with XP I would wait a while, at least until the first service pack is released.
Personally I am going to wait until I need a new computer in another year or 2. Although I have been looking at netbooks to replace my 5 year old laptop. If I do buy a new one it will certainly have 7, but other than that I have no real need or want to upgrade

The only benefit I saw was in network transfers.
I'm on Vista Ultimate as well. I'll eventually get around to upgrading. |

Been using 7 for about 6 months on a lot of different machines..
Few things i noticed.. - Much faster than XP and Vista on same hardware - More stable then XP and Vista - 99% of software installed without issue - Love the new features, quick launch bar and network and indexing - Did I say fast?
