Thinking about Windows 7 ?

Some information on the new OS (OS's) can be found here. Enjoy the read.

Thanks for your information. The future version of ASC will support Windows 7, maybe next update.

What do you think Detailer. Will it be good or not. All the hype around

Vista and I could not downgrade fast enough after trying. Think I'll build myself a system to go with 7

[sunny staines]

detailer that link was a good read the best i have seen on W7. I have ultimate vista at present and would update to W7 ultimate for the image back up. I always buy oem as I build my own pc's so hope it come out oem, I will not pay twice to get it thought via home premium.

Better than Vista....We hope

 

Got to agree with that Sunny.To answer you,deville,from what I've read so far ,and considering the great Vista debacle,there's no where to go but up.It seems that "7" will be faster and lighter on resources,as well as sporting a clever animated and very functional task bar ala Macintosh.A few old favorites like the email client(Outlook),WIN Photo Gallery and Movie Maker,will only be available as "upgrades" through the new "Live Essentials"package(cost if any,unknown).My biggest concern-you guessed it-compatibility.I'm sure every one is holding their breathe on this issue.My next concern is going to be price-point.If I bop on down to my local retailer for a copy,will I be met by someone at the cash register brandishing a firearm and wearing a mask?Also,with as many as possibly seven versions available,will the first "patch-fest" Tuesday be like turning the first page of "War And Peace"?Perhaps we'll just have a patch day for your particular version-possibly one for every day of the week.All we can do is read articles and reviews for the better part of the coming year to see what the "experts" have to say.In the meantime,you'll need that cashier's gun to stop me from running XP,as I'm sure it will be on a PC of mine until it's no longer supported,or I can't support myself.Check back with me in the Spring of '10 to see what I think then!

Hi guys, here are two of my previous posts on Windows 7

 

 

Man... I was the guy who ALWAYS wanted to have the latest and greatest software. I upgraded 95 to 98 and then ME. However when I upgraded to Windows Xp it almost put me out of business!! None of my business programs were "licensed" by Microsoft and half of my hardware would not work at all!!

 

So, I'll let you guys find the headaches with this "new" system.

 

BTW I was never interest in even looking at Vista.

 

Best of luck to you all, I like what I got and don't want to change it

( I know eventually I will have to, But only then will I)

and then....

 

 

Like I said in the other Win 7 topic, XP almost put me out of business.

 

Now, they will have to pry it out of my cold dead hands...lol

Looks like my feelings about Win 7 are similar to detailers

Hi guys,

 

Windows7 Ultimate+ ASC 3 FREE + XSkin

 

All utility programs are run as Administrator.

 

So far so good!!!

 

Since ASC 3 is not 100% compatible with Windows7 yet, and ASC 3 is FREE edition, I have put 75 of 78 problems found in "System Optimization" to Ignore List.

 

Each and every utilitiy works. Defragmenter works. All the functions in Options work

I will edit and add when and if I find problems.

 

-AWC Init window gives " Failed to set data for" "error

-Apply button is not greyed out when you click, but Apply works.

-Another glitch, hitting OK button in Options window does not close the window.

-Although "System Restore" within "Restore Center" works, "View System Restore" gives "List index out of bounds (185)" error.

-No privacy sweep in right click menu of Recycle Bin.

-----------------

-----------------

I have been using Vista Ultimate since August 2006, and I have never liked it, as I was using XP Pro all the time together with it, always preferred the XP.

 

Now I am telling you guys that Windows7 Ultimate dual booted with Vista Ultimate in the same Notebook (Which was only Vista capable) is uncomparable with Vista on nearly every aspect. Very fast guys. One thing though, IE8 is older than recent IE8 RC1.

 

Here is a teaser attachment for you. 8-)

 

Best viewed when in full screen and zoomed to default size.

 

Cheers.

[Valuater]

Ah..huh!!

 

I see it, there are bubbles coming out of that fish???...!!!

 

Never seen that before...:grin:

Great R&D enoskype

That is Beta, yes the fish is called Beta.

 

A fierce aquarium fish that would attack to any fish, and the bubbles are for attracting a possible fly to the surface -to be consumed!!! :razz:

 

Cheers.

[sunny staines]

they build their nests with bubbles too when breeding.

[enoskype]

Hi guys,

I have taken down the large image, now the guests to forum can not see it, do you think it is better now, or should I put it back again?

 

Yes sunny staines, I think the one shown is a male. What do you think?

 

Cheers.

[detailer]

desktop

 

Hi Enoskype-Thanks for the screenshot. Is that(the beta) one of the desktop choices from within the program,or third party app.? I can't tell if it's a male because the ASC GUI has the "business end" covered up.:-P

[enoskype]

Hi detailer,

It is the original desktop background just after installation. "business end"? Ha ha ha.

 

Cheers.

More on "7"

 

A CNET article for the new OS can be read here. Enjoy.-Late entry-for what some actual users are talking about,take a look at this.

[sunny staines]

enoskype without the fins visible cannot say but the males have more vibrant colour, here in the uk they are called siamese fighting fish.

[solbjerg]

From Wikipedia

The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), also known as the "betta fish" or just "betta", is one of the most popular species of freshwater aquarium fish. It is native to the rice paddies of Thailand and called pla-kad or pla-kat ("Biting Fish") in its native Thailand.

Siamese fighting fish have a labyrinth organ in their heads that allows them to take oxygen directly from the atmosphere in addition to the oxygen taken from water via their gills. Bettas that cannot reach the surface will drown.

 

From what is seen of the fish I would say female. :?:

[samr]

My guess is male. See the pics. First is male, second female. (I learned the hard way that these fish do not play well with others).

[solbjerg]

You may be right, samr

I wonder if enoskype knows :-)

Who would have thought.............

 

that a thread could be hijacked by a fish http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Animals/fish11.gif

[sunny staines]

if you have a male Siamese fighter in your fish tank hold a mirror up to the glass near the fish, you will get a spectacular reaction from the fish as it will see the reflection as another male and get aggressive.

[samr]

So... back to the original intent of the thread- how many of you have decided to try the betta in your aquarium?

 

samr.

[detailer]

No Way

 

Sticking with my pool fish for now-they have no compatibility issues.

[sunny staines]

sorry for the offshoot into the fish world, now back on W7.

 

Found this review from a vista fan

http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/windows-7-beta--is-vista-already-dead-1604891.html

[detailer]

No biggie

 

No apology necessary Sunny-I figured I'd go along with the flow.(did you like the fish?)I really thought Samr's remark was quite clever-betta in your aquarium= "7" on your PC.At least I think that was the gist of it.

[enoskype]

Betta is doing good in the aquarium!!!

 

My betta in my aquarium is doing well renewing itself since it is thrown in to the aquarium. :-P

I have given it -AVG8 IS- for protection against virutic diseases. To maintain it's health, ASC3 is perfectly tolerable.

SD is keeping the vitality up. :-D

 

My other fish called the "Ugly Ultimate", contrary to samr's comment about not getting well together, has accepted the betta and betta accepted the other one.

Although they are seperated by partitions in the same aquarium, they can use some of the sources and other utilities of the other division and viceversa. :!:

 

Cheers.
