ok so windows 7 rtm x64 ultimate finally finished downloading.

it came with some windows 7 toolkit 1.8, which, according to my techxpert friend, is really good and worth lots of money.

kewl =]

will do a clean install of W7 after i've finished resident evil 4 (if i can be bothered finishing it)

I wanted to install Windows 98 on my computer but it wasn't easy at all.

I worked from 9am to 9pm for less than a fraction of minimum wage.

I sold myself as slave labour.

Then I searched long and hard for Windows 98 and finally found it.

Installed it immediately.

Then I found out there is a missing character from the licence key preventing me from completing the installation.

FML.

LOL nice post

Is there much difference between RC and RTM for Windows 7?

I'm currently running RC and finding it works great, I see no need to upgrade to RTM, but what do you guys reckon?

imho think RTM is better, but whatever works for you though

 

[Omie Jay]

RTM = release to manufacture, so im guessing that the RTM is the final version that's gonna be sold from march next year.

I hate to be THAT guy but i don't use and cant stand Windows.
95' was good and from there it was downhill. My PC uses Linux Kubuntu and also has Gentoo on it, just coz.
But my Macbook is where its at. I Heart Mac. (granted it did suck early on but now, DAMN. MAC == WIN)

Debian squeeze, with packages from sid and experimental. I'm not presently dual-booting anything but I have Win 7 RC in VirtualBox.

nice. i haven't had a good look at squeeze yet. is it any good?

[Teclis]

Triple boot Ubuntu 9.04, Windows 7 x64 and Windows XP 32-bit (I need it for recording hardware)

Mainly use Windows though... and I'll probably get rid of Ubuntu soon... I don't really have a use for it anymore...

 

[Bemboka]

Windows XP SP3 + Ubuntu 9.04 + Windows 7 RC on Desktop

Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit on Notebook

whats the point of having multiple OS's on ur computer?
why not use 1 good one for everything?
what do u use the different OS's for?

Windows = gaming
Windows = business
Windows =/= programming
Mac = arts/music
Mac = programming
Mac =/= gaming
Mac =/= business
Linux = programming
Linux =/= everything else

Reasons like that make it convenient to dual/triple boot

 

[Aquawhite]

Windows can have all the same stuff that Mac does now (almost...) but Mac will always be known at the creative king.

Then after all those fist-clenching fits of rage I finally discovered Windows NT which is remarkably different from Windows 95 and 98's constant desire to display a Blue Screen of Death, which is Bill Gate's revenge to his mother for smacking his ass a pale blue in his childhood.

Then I realised a 5 year old child can count more numbers than the number of applications Windows NT runs.

[ehtefaz.hedayet]

So which version of windows is quite ideal for programming?

 

[Teclis]

Windows 7 would be fine... Although I'd still go with Linux for programming.

just to keep the thread going, with windows 7 i also have windows XP mode which is like an emulator for using XP.
