ok xp vs 7

Now I am not nocking neither just some things I have noticed.

WIN7

You have to make sure with this you know exactly what you want from it. with me it had issues with a couple of things.

1. It seemingly hates warcraft. Now I know win 7 is "new" but with me If it cant handle WoW its not worth it and with my machine hmm yea I was pushing it lol.

2. Programs Just randomly locked up. Really infurating but I aint here to pick at it.

The cons were that it was geniunely nice to use it had alot of features xp should have and it was fun to use.

XP

Now I love xp to bits. Biased to a point. Even though 7 as I say is new technology they will have to look at the few issues outlined above before I would consider moving every machine over. I did have it running for like 3 days before i found these problems with 7.

All in all.

Windows 7 is ok if your sure and 100% certain you have almost nothing on it that will conflict with it. If yer not sure I would say stick with xp until otherwise. Windows I have to say have pulled out the stops but as I said unless you are sure yer pc can handle it I wouldnt go out yer way.

Yep I am writing this under the influence of several cups of coffee after trying to get to sleep for a hour I thought

"hey I know what would be a great mind fuck! Sort the drivers out for win 7 On yer main pc"

Mind fuck was a understatement. I bitch now but I gotta say in its defense its not all that bad, I am actually impressed (yes that choking sound is me eating my own words) I do honnestly remeber saying Never again but they have won me over " feck feck feck.

The only None selling point I have with this (and I have been told by a good mate of mine that its under a different name *sigh*) is the lack of outlook, or as its lovingly known now as Windows live mail. (WHY?!) but anyway thats not a big odd for me since I prefer using the web for my gmail account.

Anyway I will post a few more bits and bobs when i come across them but ah well so far so good.
