Windows 7 video guide

I am already trialling W7 so I am becoming accustomed to the features but for anyone giving W7 a thought these guides are very useful. I studiously watch them all. Thanks!

Nice guides. I hope W7 is a success, but i feel it should be free to all who bought Vista Business or Ultimate.

After Vista I am not touching it. Still very annoyed with that stuppid program. Going back to xp when I can. So this is one person who will not be downgrading to any more so called Windows updates.

Trialing W7 for 2 wks now it seems to have issues with locating drivers, still cant get wi-fi connected after sorting driver, also wont run a lot of programs that work on vista. same story all over again if you upgrade to W7 kiss goodbye to a lot of programs. i'm sticking with vista it might be slow but i'ts now stable and i got a good set of programs that work on it. the future must be linux based with a bit more work from all parties involved that they seem to be putting in, without being paid i might add.

Windows 7 is still in Beta stage. HOw can you even contemplate saying things like 'seems to have issues with locating drivers' and 'if you upgrade to W7 kiss goodbye to a lot of programs'? Many many hardware companies have yet to even START building Windows 7 drivers for public release and certainly full application support is a mile off. It would be very naiive to choose for or against Windows 7 at this early stage.

I installed Vista again today to see if id been too hard on it saying i hated it so much, well .... i hadnt been too hard, it was as frigging awful as i first thought earlier last year, everythings messy and even finding task manager is a real pain in the A*S.
If W7 is nothing more than a resprayed Vista i wont be touching it and ill be with XP for ever more, updates for it or not. !!

With greatest respect...
Your comment just makes you look stupid and may I say 'ignorant'.
Windows, Linux or Apple bashing, fan boy silliness is boring, enough already. They are just operating systems for a computer. Choose one and learn how to use it, then you can stop bitching, and be more productive.

Some of you folks remind me of those guys who said they were never gonna get rid of '98 or any FAT32 system as long as they lived!My 10 year old has Vista and thinks the people who complain about it are whiners. I have XP because I'm use to it and I don't care how pretty it is. It's like this. As we eventually have more multi core processors than monolithic, the software will have to change to take advantage of their capabilities. In the not so distant future when terabytes are tiny storage, 64 bit systems are the minimum required and fiberoptics have us talking in color rather than binary, the operating systems will have to change in order to accomodate and benefit. Writing truly multi thread code is one of those heavy lifting things that you don't do until you really need to, but they will. With all that said, I prefer for someone else to take the Beta ride for me. Just a thought from an old Texan mind. thanks guys

@oh dear
"Choose one and learn how to use it" That isnt the problem now is it ? It isnt so much how it works its the fact is doesnt work very well.
I am guessing you are a Vista user with a name like oh dear. Am i right ?

W7 isnt too bad. At least you should take a look at it. But of course use the operating system which best suits you and your needs, its that simple.

@Her0
Yes I have been on Vista a while and now Win 7 Beta testing, guilty as charged.
They work for me. Some bugs and configuration fiddles, but I like them. I use Ubuntu a little but not very quick on Console. I just don't understand why so many hate, I'm not very tech savvy but don't get issues, so it just seems to me to be Fanboy bitching. Maybe I'm just lucky.
Ho hum. Peace out

No worries. Like Rob said above... use what you feel happy with. I was just a bit angry... peaced out now. Cheers.

The mian problem with Vista was that it wouldnt work with older programs - After using windows 7 for a week i can say it hasnt improved on this either. If Microsoft wanted to improve the product they should have concentrated on this one major issue.

It is no more no less as impressive as Vista in my opinion - it has some rather annoying features which mean you cannot fully get it working the way you want it to and it also has a few driver installation issues.

It should also be free to existing Vista users. I think its a disgrace to release an OS like this so soon after the last disaster and expect us all to pay again through the nose so soon for it.

Bring on Ubuntu and Suse Linux I think they are showing the way...

If only Microsoft could learm from Norton. Remember when Norton Internet security was a bloated slow monstrosity ? Well... they worked on it and released a fast slim resource friendly version in 2009 that most people love. Now if only Microsoft could........... you get the picture !!
