It's no different than Vista for games, it should be better for gaming since the OS uses less RAM/resources than Vista. I'm not going to be gaming on this Laptop so can't say how it performs but if anything gaming should be better
Can't wait for RC1 !
I didn't think I would be able to use this as a primary OS, but now I'm hooked. I'm not sure I can go back to xp now.
Is there any difference between 7000 and 7077? Do I need to bother downloading 7077?
The requirements say 16gb but I think the sweet spot is around 10gb so you need to free up some room I would think. You should've asked this 2 days ago because I had just installed it - 111/129gb free (with programs installed) right now
Yeah, I've noticed all the taskbar changes, which are pretty cool. But I've got a pretty beefy computer, so Vista was never slow for me. 7 actually appears slower to me, since I don't think I have all the drivers I need installed.There's a big difference for me Things are faster, seem more streamlined and the overall aesthetic is better. Most things that change with between Windows OS's are the things in the taskbar. It looks better, performs better and has better functionality. For tablet users or those with touch screens this OS is what we've been waiting for. The biggest changes come in performance, taking Vista and making it run better than XP, now that's something to be celebrated
It's also the small changes that matter - being able to maximize windows by moving them tot he top of the screen or make them half the size of the screen by dragging them to either side is a great addition.
Homegroup's are much easier to form now and the computer recognizes if a homegroup is already on your network and asks if you would like to join it. The start menu can also act as a menu system for some applications that support it (aka Word will show you your recent documents without opening the application).
Also something I've noticed with the new 7077 build (compared to 7000) - maximized windows now retain their transparency in the title bar. The "Show Desktop" button is also larger if you are using a touch screen device (appears smaller on other computers). Also the taskbar items have a frosted look to them.
There are some other features/changes I've noticed since 7000 but I'll leave that for another post probably, it's Easter and I've got some eating to do!

Not that I'm disappointed in the OS or anything, just kind of underwhelmed, after every body gushed about it.
thanks. i'll check that out, unless the RC or another public release is soon.As far as where to get the 7077 download - torrent sites
I would wait for RC public its just another month.thanks. i'll check that out, unless the RC or another public release is soon.
I'll never trust torrents for an OS...if they turn out to be buggy...then everything is lost.
