I may give it a try on a dual-boot with another hard drive...

I installed Windows 7.
Design cool, no problems, except i need drivers for my wireless adapter.
DualBoot works fine, can use both Windows.

And a little note :

Don't see Windows 7 as a goodie, You also have to install drivers and configure it as any other windows,
Think twice before install.

Install drivers? Just run Windows update and almost all drivers will be installed. The only driver I had to download was for my built-in webcam, I used a Vista driver and it works fine.

Haha oh wow.
I spent 5 hours trying to find a partition program. I partitioned 26gb for Windows 7. I installed it. I can now dual-boot onto either one.

I only have one thing to say...
Shittest OS ever.

Screen resolution won't change
Can't use Chrome
MSN won't work
G15 Keyboard wasn't working (fixed)
SAMP won't work
Windows Media Player is all messed up.
The "Superbar" thing is stupid, it won't let me change some things

Ugh, overall horrible. Once they fix it up a bit (A LOT), i'll boot windows 7 again, but until then..  :mad:

I assume you haven't even installed the latest patch? or else your doing something wrong
Do you actually believe that msn wont work? HAHA! "Screen resolution won't change" What about you try go and changing it? I doubt anything will happen by automatic(kidding)
What kind of resolution are you trying to use?
It's not a shitty OS it's fast as hell and everything runs smooth. Well done Microsoft!

I can't say anything negative about it

SA:MP works too, only when shutting down it gives an error (like we had before)

I'm really happy now, I got an official beta key now. So I'm gonna download the beta and install this one instead of the pre beta version.

lol? You must have done something (major?) wrong then :lol:

I've had Vista for 6 months now. Never experienced any kind of BUG. And the only "negative thing Vista did for me" was not letting me play my 1996 games. CUZ DEY 2 OLD FO ITZ YO. No glitches, no bugs. Just some compability problems. With games older than me.

I'm gonna dl Windows 7 beta sometime in the week I think. After I'm finished with some late school work

It's called a Beta.

Haven't tried it yet personally, but am willing to do so in nearest future. And what I've read from users who actually know something about computers, Windows 7 sure does sound very promising. :)

I don't know, just saying what he told me. I don't use vista nor do I intend to use vista, I'll stay with XP untill something just as stable comes out.

If you believe peolpe saying Windows 7 isnt stable... you are really mad then.. Windows 7 could possibly be more stabel than even XP was... and you can do more on Windows 7 than you could on XP or Vista together
