i think it is time to fully migrate to x64 system 64-bit processors have been around for good few years already, and as programs get more demanding, more RAM has to be installed, and only x64 OS can utilize 4GB RAM and above

I woner if windows 7 will be offered as an upgrade to current vista users since its more of an overhaul and performace driven vista rather then a new OS. Hopefully they will offer this to current vist users as a comprehensive upgrade for a nominal fee.

anybody try the just released build 6801 of windows 7?

im sure that microsoft will offer an upgrade for current vista user. but i dont think the price will be very low though.

Vista ok wat! Though it's heavy on resource utilization, new hardwares can run it without hiccups. It is DX10 ready and it comes in 64 bit flavor When 7 releases, Vista already has SP2 which improves more on its stability.

I just hope W7 will only come in 64bit form, forcing all software developers to go 64bit
Games are just getting bigger by the day, sooner or later 3GB of ram just ain't enough.

If anyone needs 32bit support, we can always dual boot, I will anyway to play old games

tried 6801 .. not bad , stable*, faster.. havent really install games+office+softwares everything stress test use few days see how stable.. currently get used to mac osx d.. hope windows 7 can tarik me back lah.. i really hope M$ can do something better now i dun care they wan copy or not lah.

If you do that, you will see HUGE incompatibilites problems as not all developers are (equipped) ready to make x64 version of their software. Currently, you only see x64 flavor of your software by big companies.

I also looking forward to 64bit platform to fix the 4GB ram limitation.

64-bit doesn't have 4gb RAM limitation la wey...

that's why he says that..
he probably. most probably are using 32bit now. and stuck with the 4Gb limitation..
so he's looking forward to using the 64bit..

i hope im right.. kan crapp0?

By that time running Window7 with Intel Core i7 and tri-channel 2Gb X 3 DDR3 1667Mhz on the 256Gb SSD , woh. . .

i read tuesday intech. Quite keen to know more.

any reading reference and how does it feel compare heavy vista?

windows 7 is still in pre-beta
many programs have incompatibility issue with windows 7

I heard you can get the beta through cd

I have no problem with vista..I dont mind the addition of Windows 7 anyway..but not so soon la.

You don't need to change to Windows7 if you didn't have to. Windows7 still uses Vista core, Vista drivers etc. It's just and upgrade to support latest technologies such as multitouch...

Where do you heard them? I would like to have one too. The only available options to get the current leaked build (6801 x86 and x64) are by torrent, irc or any other download method. The leaked build is only distributed to PDC 2008 attendees only...

so the intech picture of win7 on the shelf is not true?

kennot get that copy?

lolx....i wonder where did they snap that....i went and visit the MS website also no news about it....only an update to the Vista
