I really am stuck here.

Vista Ultimate...or...Win7 RC?

I was thinking of getting Ultimate, until i found out about 7, and i'm really not sure.

I LOVE the new look and features of Win7, but im not sure whether it's enough to beat V. Ultimate.

So.

It's either Win7 RC now, or Vista Ultimate until the full Win7 is out.

What would you do?

Thanks

hi rc7 should be less buggy than the beta iam building a new comp this week and i am going to try the 64bit version i might even try the 32 bit on a seperate hdd so i vote 7

Go for Windows 7 RC. It will expire next year in March. So need not worry, very much time is there till then. Use Windows 7 it has many advance features than Vista.

Go for Windows 7! AND WAIT FOR DIRECTX 11!!!

Yes right.
But Windows 7 is not only meant for gamers but it has also many advanced Security aspects also for normal Stand Alone Desktop Work or in a Network.

Windows 7, I would say, the release candidate is build 7100, Windows 7 Ultimate and 7 is supposed to be Vista with all the problems ironed out and greatly enhanced security

I'm running Vista Home Premium SP2 http://www.imagechicken.com/uploads/...1053539600.jpg and haven't had any problems. Win 7 has a few bugs. http://tinyurl.com/qevmfk

Hi jls

Don't get me wrong I am not saying that Vista is rubbish it just had a few problems mainly relating to slow file transfer speeds which were still there after SP 1 had been released now with SP 2 I can't really comment my own personal experience of Vista was from customer's feedback at my last job, I tried out Vista back when it was a release candidate and although I really liked the new way of doing things I opted to wait for a while before buying it, after all it took Microsoft 5 years to get XP right, now, I am looking at Windows 7 RC and am really liking what I see, it reminds me of Vista but I understand that there are a lot of internal changes and optimizations and seems to be amazingly stable for a release candidate

I been pounding W7 and have had little trouble.

[edjon2000]

Hi brett,

Yes I must say I have been throwing all sorts of software at it old and new and so far I have had very few problems, I do have an issue that occured during install but will post that seperately in a new thread

[aka Brett]

The only problem i have had is task bar flicker..it was only the task bar the windows and desktop were fine,both times though i had many things going,30 to 40,,so i cant complain..hitting a couple close buttons fixed it right up.

[edjon2000]

Yes I had the same thing but installing the latest non international graphics drivers from Nvidia seems to have fixed that

i do have a windows update for video driver i havent put on.
with the beta my video was terrible right after install the monitor was almost useless to view to play with the driver{ended up having to use it in compatibilty mode]...very hard to see anything looked like it was a giant rainbow so am kinda scared to take the update

hi brett i just put win7 rc on a new build yesterday and apart from a small sound issue ie need a mic it has been easier to use than i could have wished for i also took any updates and it all went well
