Windows 7

[Tim7]

I thought you had W7 already??

 

[Placebo]

Yeah I had an older build on a second HDD to boot into when I chose, but didn't use it for my day to day PC use.

 

[Placebo]

Got an Email from MS that the RC will be available to everyone from MS directly on Tuesday

 

[Tim7]

Yeah me too. But we've already got it right?

 

[Placebo]

Well one assumes the leaked RC1 is the same as the official MS released RC1.......

 

[Tom]

It is.

 

[Tim7]

Ta.

 

[Placebo]

Sorting the start menu alphabetically, what's the secret?

 

[Tim7]

It does it by default. All applications are alphabetically first, then all folders underneath...

 

[bunsen]

Downloading RC ....

 

[Placebo]

It does it by default. All applications are alphabetically first, then all folders underneath...

You lies to me

 

[Tim7]

That's because that list you have there is the most popular list after you've just clicked on the start menu button, most popular at the top .

 

[Placebo]

That's shit, I want it in alphabetical order damn it!

 

[BobbyBox]

Who's Miranda Placebo?!

Placebo and Miranda sitting in a tree, K I S S I N G!!!

 

[Placebo]

LOL Miranda would be the multi IM app I use to put my ICQ/MSN contacts in the same list

Took the plunge and upgraded from Vista Ultimate sp2 to Windows 7.

Took about Hour and half.

Windows 7 is superb. Only incompatible software I can find is Daemon Tools.

 

[Placebo]

It's not incompatible, works fine for me, it might say it's incompatible but it works ok

For skype users who hate 4.0, 3.6 works fine with Windows7, using it myself

 

[Tim7]

fine*

Any luck finding a replacement?
Can't live without Daemon Tools.

 

[Tim7]

What are they?

 

[Coopz]

It

Its a program that mounts files and makes the PC think its a CD/DVD

 

[Revan]

It creates a virtual CD/DVD drive where you can mount ISO files.

 

[Placebo]

And is working in Windows 7 so no idea why we're discussing it

Now the preview pane in folders, that's another story, will you fucking stay in place please! Anyone know a fix?

daemon tools DOES work with windows 7...

have a look on the website, which now has a windows 7 compatible update. it's the lite version, but it's the one i've always used.

 

[Revan]

Installed Win7, but an hour later got rid of it. It messed my Vista.
Started asking me to activate, when I already had done it.

I'll wait for the final release, or when I'm ready to ditch Vista I'll go Win7 only.


I did like it though.

 

[MonkeyJug]

first post-RC build 7127 leaked now - both x86 and x64 version...

available at all the usual outlets.

 

[CW]

I can't see there being too many differences between the versions they are bringing out almost weekly now

 

[Tim7]

Oooh, cheers MJ .

 

[Revan]

I can't see there being too many differences between the versions they are bringing out almost weekly now

difference is negligible for the user.


It's more like testing new code and shit.

 

[Tim7]

I am now on 7127 .
