      Site daily you a minimum of 6 so w7

      And it takes half that in any xp to configure the same machine
      Vista if it was a real failure, but w7 is a stable operating system, easy to use and trouble free for non-expert users who are the majority of computer users.

        Like I said - and if you install Windows 98, then XP is slow OS,... :) Of course, Windows 7 have many style improvements and it's consuming more RAM. 2 GHz processor is not problem. 1 GB RAM is! I have processor less then 2 GHz, but 1,5 GB RAM, and my system works pretty well. Also, graphics card are important device for Win7 style. I have unsupported graphic card, and even then Win7 works.

        IF I would have new computer, processor with >3 GHz, >3 GB RAM, and good graphics card, Windows 7 WILL works like a charm.... But, even now, I CAN use it without a problems...

        Anyway, I think that all of this discussion are oftopic :) What been with user who ask us - can he upgrade from XP to Win7 ??? We wait some information and tell him can he install Win7 or not on his configuration. :)

            operating systems evolve to adapt to new hardware and developed to be getting better,
            All systems evolve, winwdows, Ubuntu twice a year.
            And all is always the legend that the former is better and more stable.

              I agree 100% with you :) We don't want to adapt, and we usually don't like changes...

              And when you use 10 YEARS some OS, we need some time to accept new OS...

                I wouldn't say that, you are missing windows millenium - it was absolutely useless piece of ****.
                vista is buggy and slow piece of *** too but it had some dubious features someone may want.
                win7 made on vista basis. it's more friendly for sysadmins. but I don't know what migration from xp to 7 gives to pc user.
                I am an IT manager myself and I see absolutely no reason to migrate my company computers to win7
                Only one case is when you a gamer and need directx11 .
                If you use pc to watch dvb and media files - no need to migrate, xp much faster.
                I heard from colleagues win7 works better with wifi, but I use wifi on xp absolutely without problems.
                You will need 64bit OS like win7-64 if you need to use more then 3GB memory in OS and more then 2GB on process. But I don't know when you may need such amount of memory.
                You may say win7 has native support of AHCI, but i use SATA HDDs in AHCI mode on xp pretty good.
                What more? Dubious win7 interface?
                My opinion is still MS gives security updates for xp it's better to use xp.

                  You must notice that if you want to use old os and system and dont accept varriance your experience and knowlege is not upgrade. you must change by advance.

                    as you say there are operating systems failed to quickly stop being used and provide updates to subsequent economic systems, but everything evolves and if you are conservative even this page you can if you want to try to see it with netscape 2.0 just leaves you

                        That's right, we are forced to use these new OSes to know how to fix those multiple bugs users asked about. But still nothing really special will appear in the new OS I won't use it myself:p

                          Re: upgrading from XP to Win7 ?

                          I mean that if we are thinking about migrate to Win7 is because our computer is XP based, surelly.
                          Ok this forum is about Sat tv, and so on, I think the user that have asked the first post question watchs sat tv trought computer sat receiver.
                          So I continue thinking XP in this computer is better than 7.
                          I think Win 7 don't must be killed, no, but why we must change XP for Win7 to watch Sat TV because compatibility of our hardware with 7 drivers.
                          Install a new O.S. is not only inserting the OS disk into our DVD reader unit, no, is time lost, is looking for new drivers, is try our hardware sat receiver for pc and see if it works fine.
                          A lot of things, that by now, for me are not very useful.
                          Another thing, is purchase a new windows 7 based computer. Then you must go on with your new computer and try your old hardware pc sat receiver and fix all the bugs you find.
                          The future is wellcome, but when it is needed.
                          Regards.

                            Effectively when needed if
                            But you can not go saying that:
                            Any past was better
                            or in this case
                            any operating system of the past was better than to come
                            This is to meet the needs of hardware

                              Because this OS is too old, and MS will end support of XP in 2014. So, it's better do upgrade now, and 2014. you'll need to rush with upgrades and learning user...

                              Anyway, YOU will decide what you want and when will you upgrade ;) I want to use last good operating system ;)
