I looked through Microsoft's website at the improvements and wasn't impressed. I grew up on the old stuff, so I think very heirarchically. When they try to "make things more convenient" it ****s up my chi.

That's one thing that pissed me off about Office 2007. I'd memorized a bunch of keystrokes to get through the menus, and now the menus are gone and there aren't any keystroke shortcuts that I know of. :cuss:

Anyway, most of the convenience stuff doesn't appeal to me much.

I am optomistic about it being sped up.
I found some new ones today. In 2003, if you pressed Alt, it would send you up to the menus and you could make selections from the menus using keystrokes. I was pissed when 07 used "ribbons" or whatever the **** they are called because there were no more menus. Well, if you press Alt, now, it pops up with keystrokes you can use. They've all changed of course, but I can relearn them if I need to.

I'm less pissed off.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with everything I'm hearing about Win7 and especially happy I've never had to use Vista very much.

I guess I'm just weird. I've been using vista for a year and had no problems. That being said I"m just plain curious about the new version.

I've been using Vista at work since it came out, and it's been ok. My pc is significantly slower than I'd like, but I don't know if it's all the other crap, er, Enterprise related software my company runs on it. Either way, I should be getting a new lappy with 4 GB of RAM about the same time we get W7, so things should get quite a bit zippier for me all at once.

Okay I went to install it and on the opening screen it says "dvd, cd rom driver not found please install driver before you continue"

anyone else have this problem and if so how did they fix it?

That sounds like a bad burn. Burn another copy, and bump it down to a slower burn speed.

Make sure you got a good copy. Some of the torrented copies are corrupt. So if in doubt, get the RC directly from M$.

yeah I downloaded the first copy straight from ms but you were right it was a bad burn I reburned it at a lower speed and am using it right now.

They're not going to give it away. I would bet it will be similar to Vista.

Over priced. Got it. heh

Anything over $100 is too much.

Because I am tired of being expected to pay for faulty programming. No matter how good Win7 may be, it will be full of holes they will have to patch up, slowing it down in the process. Par for the course with M$.
