    Hmm. I've been using it for a while and all MMO's work. I just tried OP7 for you and it's working. I used Firefox to run it BTW.

    They did state that you should use it on a computer that you don't use everyday. It would be pretty good for adults or people who just listen to music, surf the net etc.

    I think they made windows vista bad just so they could market windows 7 as a better operating system. I might start using windows 7 when I get a new harddrive.

    I think they made Windows 7 in response to the new trend of hating on Vista and MS in general. I've never had any problems with Vista. Heck, I like it more than XP because of all the subtle differences in the interface. It's just more convenient to use. 7 looks to be a much bigger improvement though, I really like the taskbar.

    vista did have a few more updates that made it way better than xp but they added too many extras which made it not as stable as xp at first but they fixed stability issues...all that remains now is to fix the resource hogging which vista does too often...but w7 so far hasnt eaten any resources im able to run it easily with no problem its compatible with everything i tried so far and it has all the features of vista with the stability of xp....its a win win situation for me

    I used Vista for a long time. I really liked it, but on Windows 7 the games I play really run much faster for me. Haven't used XP in a while so can't compare it to that yet.

    running w7 64bit now, no problem except at the start

    finished dl, burned to disc and went to the install: your windows is not legit for w7 (genuine vista 32bit), so i booted from bios
    after waiting like 30 mins to get to the country selection and past it i got an error: cannot install, file install.wim missing
    so i switched dvd from drives and i have yet to run into an error yet

    although its funny...
    i boot and i notice i dont have my vista partition anymore
    went down to the partition manager and i see that the vista partition didnt got a driveletter assigned =/

    off to bed now

    I still dont get why people complain about vista. Yes, it runs slower on older computers, but on the newer computers, it runs just as well as XP does. I have no compatiblity issues (never have) and for me, its pretty much issue free. I've never had an XP install (and i've used many different versions of XP) that runs as error free as my current Vista install.

    And most people seem to forget how so many people shunned XP when it came out, and ran ME because they figured it ran smoother. Well, you all love XP now, maybe you should be more open minded about vista.
