Windows 7

[James.Anderson]

Has anyone upgraded yet? I may get a new netbook in the future and am wondering whether it would cope.

Still on XP at the moment.

I had Windows XP Pro, Downgraded to Vista then 2 days later I upgraded to Windows XP, Two years later I upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate and its brilliant. Unlike Vista its clean and not full of crap......

So far I have only had 1 problem with it but apart from that its 3 times faster.... If you put it to sleep
> Open it up > Push the power button > It goes to the desktop in 3 seconds - That is good no waiting 1-2 minutes for it to start up.

I recommend everyone to upgrade its Like Windows XP just 10x BETTER.

Regards James Anderson.

Yep - it's great, but I'm puzzled why you turn your computer off? Just turn the monitor off if you are running a big power guzzling screen. Computers like constant temperature rather than the off-on business. I have a laptop that I have used daily for ten years, turning it off only if I'm taking it with me somewhere. It's had one new keyboard, but otherwise still perfect.

I have an XP desktop linked to a Windows 7 laptop. Whilst I like both I am impressed with Windows 7 - it is fast and very slick. It takes a while to get used to some of the features thought - and I still can't find the Run thingy to let you ping a site - grr!

The run thingy to let you ping a site - Do you mean Command Prompt???

If you do click on Start (The windows picture) > then type in cmd and push enter!!

Let me know if that helps you!!!
