I'll just sum it up.
Windows is better than Mac or Linux.
So Win7 is a great achievement.

@firebolt: No OS (in all reality) is better than another. All OS's have their pros and cons, all have their own place and uses. To say that Windows is the best OS in the world is plain lunacy and ignorance (Please, I mean no offense here :) ). Linux is a good OS because you have access to it at the lowest level (Not with Windows though), Windows is a good OS because it supports more software and games than Linux, OSX (even with my absolute disdain for Apple) is a good OS because it's very stable.

In all reality no one can say that one OS is superior to another :)

Agreed. I've never understood why people argue about which OS is best. In the end, pick the one you're comfortable with and works for you and run with it. I've used Windows for a long time, so I still keep it as my main OS. Because of that, I know how to get Windows to work for me and slap it back into order when it starts having its little 'ceizures.' At the same time, I love Linux for the fact that it's free and great on a laptop because it's quick, easy and intuitive, and I love Mac because I love XCode, which is awesome for coding. If I had my choice, Windows would be my HD Anime/DVD/Game Machine, Linux my WebBrowsing/Server Hosting machine and Mac my Developement platform.

BeOS is the best OS ever made, and they have a great marketing scheme. Make it unavailable and the price will skyrocket thus increasing revenue. They will have Microsoft beat in no time on net worth.

I'm running the 64 bit version of Windows 7 and have zero issues with it. I do like how even the 32 bit version recognizes all 4 GB of memory my wife is running on her system (yes I have converted her to dual-booting as well, Ubuntu is next lol)


Have you tried running Sage Accounts on it ?


Latest version runs on Vista, Which version have you tried?

If it runs on Vista, highly unlikely that it wouldn't Windows7.
