Windows 7

[Kat]

Don't know about iGoole, hell, never heard of it but it's probably a setting in Firefox ya need to change.
What's funny is I have no real problems with Win 7 but I really miss the simplicity and look of Linux.

iGoogle is a customizable homepage, and I really like it a lot. May be a setting in FF, but which setting is what I don't know.

Restore the mode. Right click on your Firefox link, choose "Properties" and add -safe-mode after the last "

Double click the link and accept safe mode restoration. Then remove the -safe mode from the link.

This will remove all customizations and will reset you to the original. I don't use iGoogle. Just google as a web page.

iGoogle mines you for browsing data. Not you personally, just your habits. So does Google if you sign in. I don't do either.

Yeah I know, but so do all browsers. We can pretend they don't, but they do.
And okay, will try that.

Not if you do not sign into any browser account Kat. As well, not if you do not have any other programs sniffing your browser history and sending it out as well.

When you sign in, the right to sniff your browser is installed in the EULA. If you don't sign in they don't.

They don't have that right. It's not a negative sniffing. (negative billing comparison)

Negative Sniffing. I like the sound of that. Like America's Negative Growth.

But, I could be wrong... Been wrong many times

It doesn't bother me really. I don't do anything that matters. I mean those porn sites are all good, right?

I hate the new Office for Windows 7, or at least Excel. I could fly around on Excel on XP. I think they've made it less dynamic.

I agree. When opening a file, you can no longer back button through folders...you have to start fresh at Libraries and drill your way down ... whatever good features Windows 7 has are totally nullified by this. I am sorry I ever upgraded.

I've searched on the internet for a fix with no luck.

Ya know, after using Windows 7 for a little while now I realize how much I miss Linux. While 7 is a vast improvement over Pista it's still Windows, it's still not as sleek, well organized, configurable or secure as a Linux distro. I'm seriously considering migrating back to Ubuntu, hell just ordered the Nvidia graphics card that will work with Ubuntu. Decisions, decisions.....

After a short while Im happy with W7 64
I wish the transfer rate between drives was faster.

Are you running on an UPS? If so, have you turned off the write cache buffer flushing?

So far I am actually impressed, and pleasantly surprised, with Windows 7 as a whole. There are some annoying little "pop up helpers" I'm trying to find out how to do away with but overall it's a very clean operating system. There was an issue with windows explorer (not Internet explorer) freezing up but found an online fix at Microsoft. The Media Center Software is great and easy to use and they've made it extremely simple to connect to a projector. Still playing with it.
The one real issue I have is Windows 7 does not play well with other operating systems, I need a win 7 installation or upgrade disc to repair Win 7 in a dual boot with Ubuntu (or any Linux distro) because of Windows propensity to set itself up as the only bootable OS and this feature becomes corrupted when adding a different OS, making Windows unbootable.

Me too. Windows 7 sucks so far less than any other version of Windows to which an employer has subjected me that I actually do not hate it. M$FT did a fine job on this one.

I always use Window 7 operating System in my pc. because its has many features like the driver facility all the driver is installed when you install the windows 7. windows take minimum requirement to install in pc.....

I use Mac all the way and OSX. Been a mac guy for 24 years now. Never crashes, never screws up, never does anything but computes. Gave up PCs with the Wang I had at McDonnell Douglas Astronautics when Judy Resnik told us all about Macs. Never went back.

If its good enough for Hubble and the ISS, I guess its good enough for me.

So how much did you get paid to post that little assessment?

 

[Ringel05]

Windows 7 is a version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, netbooks, tablet PCs, and media center PCs.its a nice operating system and easy to use .....

Another paid advertiser?

All you have to do is make sure Winbloze is installed to a separate partition, load up your Ubuntu Live cd, open a terminal and type sudo update-grub.
If you run XFCE(Xubuntu) desktop sudo doesn't work.
Type su in the terminal, enter password, hit enter and type update-grub.
Reboot and you'll have the option to boot whichever you want.
The other option is to install virtual box in Ubuntu and install Winbloze inside it as a program ( because that's all the pieceOshit is). Your box can't get infected when the next 8 year old figures out how easy it is to write a virus for that garbage.

About a year ago I install XP in VB and it wouldn't work worth a shit so I xed it and not sure I want to try it with Win 7. I'll dual boot for now but the first virus I get or the first time this computer is hijacked I'm ditching Windows and going back to Ubuntu full time.

Windows 7 is the best OS that Microsoft has produced so far, its interface is nice and its faster and better compare to Vista.

I have an older Dell 4550 that was my primary computer a couple of years ago. I keep it running because I was too lazy to back up my docs, e-mail, address book and bookmarks so I still used it on occasion. Well I finally backed everything up today and wiped the hard drive. Loaded Ubuntu 10.10, wouldn't work, loaded Linux Mint 10, wouldn't work, finally loaded Linux Mint Xfce and it worked but very slowly. Decided to give Win 7 a shot, loaded without a hitch, well one hitch, my old Labtec speakers won't work. All the upgrades/patches downloaded and installed without any issues and the computer is faster now then when it had XP on it.
Needless to say I'm impressed!
