Product Name: Windows 7
Company: SOTEC

Conclusion:
Bottom line, I encourage ANYONE to try 7 on their PC. In most cases everything will install smoothy, I run 7 on my tablet PC everyday... 7 is a kick ass OS with NOTHING in common with Vista when it comes to speed and performance...
(There are other nifty things about 7 too.)
Installed on a powerful PC you may not see much of difference, but on low spec notebooks, it's simply AMAZING...
However please remember this is a Beta OS, and there are some bugs. My HTPC crashed several times and I even had a BSOD... I found out this problem was due to a driver issue (NVidia), also not all ATOM powered PCs give that much of satisfaction, you will see Monday what I'm talking about...
Lord I'm impatient to see the final result, but if Vista disgusted... 7 is now winning my heart...

Thanks for the review. I too am looking forward to Windows 7 and have been hearing good things about it. Vista will be skipped by me luckily. It reminds me of the many people who had the good fortune to skip Millennium.

I tried Vista when it first came out, and it wasn't bad after I got all the drivers figured out. After a bad spyware infection I went back to xp, and am now back on vista. I don't see the problem with it. It works great. Running vista ultimate. I have 4gb of ram, plenty of space on 7200 rpm drives, somewhere around 700 gigs, hoping to expand with a terrabyte or more. and a e6600 2.4 core 2 duo 2. also using an ati 4850. oh ya it is a good setup that did cost me money. I spent less than $1200 building it. Most of the pc were built two years ago. people running pc's that are 8 years old, with less than a gig of memory need to just suck it up and build new. I mean come on, 4 gigs of ram cost me $25 after rebate from newegg. a friend of mine was considering installing more pc-100 in her pc, it only has 256 megs of ram. gee I don't know why it runs like a pos....

I think you are being a bit harsh on Vista a running version comes in at less than 600 MB memory used with antivirus software installed and I have seen it running fine on a 1.2 celeron apart from when you run flash content where the cpu will peak. I think a
fast HD is more essential than anything
Windows 7 defiantly runs better though

Windows remains Windows.
I don't like all the previous versions and I don't think I'm gonna like 7.

I had pretty much the same experience wth the Acer Aspire One, except for the photos. It played movies, downloaded, browsed, played video, took webcam picture, made phone calls using MagicJack, etc. I had just about every port occupied (3 USB, 2 SD, VGA monitor, network).
The only thing it would not run for me was Handbrake, which required a higher resolution screen.
Love the small dimensions and low weight.

Vista, even I have a powerful T61 with Interl Duo Core 2 2.2G, 2GB RAM and 7200RPM hdd, I still can not stand it. I format the VISTA and installed the Ubuntu 8.10.

Using Window 7 since beta 7022 came n' loving it
Before that I used WIN XP 64-bit. Vista, which I tried lasted for max. 2 monthes (good thing I never payed a cent for that). With a big smile on my face I've deleted Vista and installed 7, beta version of which is much more stable. So when 7 comes up I'll buy it (he he, guess that will be first time I ever pay to M$).

I am interested in running Windows 7 on my Toshiba Qosmio GX/79G. How do I do it? Will I have to install new drivers for my CPU, video card, etc? Are drivers available for all this stuff?

Well....it's a Windows Vista with almost purely cosmetic change + bug fixes though
they made Win7 within less than a year.
I have used Vista on Sonoma 1.7, 4200rpm HDD, 1.2GB of ram to deliver lots of projects in the past few years without feeling any slowness. i got Dell precision M4400 (P8600/4GB/7200rpm) recently from my company...and honestly, there is no difference from my old laptop...except hardcore media encoding and large project build.
You heard lots of bad news about Vista that's why it sucks, but everyone seems to be overly happy with Windows 7 that's why Win7 is better than Vista...while it is Vista...and vista SP2 is probably Win7 fixes backport to Vista.
BTW. I have been using Windows7 on slow-like-hell AspireOne A110 + With some minor tweaks...and it's lightning fast!!! (see http://coresharp.net/blogs/article/archive/2009/02/01/aspireone-windows7-tuning.aspx for guide...it's in Thai though)
