problem is if you have Vista already...you don't qualify for the upgrade offer. The only way to qualify is to buy a new copy of Vista then you can do the upgrade. What a crock.
W7 is great but Punkbuster doesn't yet work on it so will have to wait till it goes RTM. Once this happens and manufactureers start supporting it I will move the rest of my machines over to it.
Currently I have my HTPC on W7 but thats it. Wifes notebook has been downgraded to XP pro same as my Desktop. Wifes notebook originally came with Vista but it ran like a dog.
My machine has 8gb of ram Q6850 CPU and vista still runs like a dog.
this upgrade is targeted at people who hate vista.Originally Posted by ROCCO
it has also been put into place so that the turnover over desktops/laptop pre new OS release does not slow, as it does with every release.
without lookin at your machine i'd say there is something wrong with it, none of my machines are thaty high spec and i run vista on em.My machine has 8gb of ram Q6850 CPU and vista still runs like a dog.

I used windows 7 for a since the last thread, but now I have gone back to Vista. Yes windows 7 was faster but I had too many software issues and I have found Vista much more stable and reliable. My machine is really quick anyway :P

I had quite a few issues with it but the one thing that tipped me over the edge was not being able to use certain "dwnloading" programs properly
Why are you running Nortons? Never had anything but problems with that

So much vista hate , My machine is blistering fast on vista 64.
Until I see some real world benchmarks where as windows 7 is substantially faster for graphics intensive applications , Vista is staying put.
More problems with low spec machines running vista I would suspect.
