When 32 bits are gone.Its time for 64 bit
Good for AMD User.

o.O Vista slows for you?I dont think lehz,plus its faster than Windows XP
But yes those unnecessary Aero Interface bla bla gives slowness but you wont feel it so much.MAYBE without the DirectX 10 we cant play latest games?

Hmm Easier Upgrade..
Anyway,Microsoft said,Windows seVen will not be memory hogger.Maybe Windows 7 Ultimate requires only 512MB of RAM..But we will see..

Another angry news for nVidia users ..Perhaps

Windows 7 to use DirectX 10.1

50 percent less memory per window

Our colleagues here managed to get a nice photo of a Windows 7 presentation where the big giant talked about GPU usage in Windows 7.

One of the most interesting things was the official confirmation that Windows 7 will use DirectX 10.1 API, something that works well in ATI's advantage. It doesn’t look that DirectX 11 will be ready to launch together with Windows 7 and it will probably come later even though there might be some DirectX 11 hardware to launch in 2009.

DirectX 10.1 will help Windows 7 to scale better from low end to high-end hardware and put it in good use especially when it comes to user interface. Shaders will be used for the Glass and Windows 7 memory consumption is cut by 50 percent per window, something that memory manufacturers and GPU guys might not really appreciate.

Windows 7 will also have richer thumbnail animations and at the same time it comes with Media Center user interface, Video playback and Desktop Window Manager (DWM), all borrowed from Vista. We are not aware of any improvements in these area compared to Vista.

We are sure that these features will also work on DirectX 10.0 hardware but Microsoft has decided to promote DirectX 10.1 support this time.

Hmm..I wonder..

How about the performance?I mean when loading Windows..is it faster than Vista?Try checking the Memory to see if its a memory hogger like Vista..

Any Vista Capable PC/Vista Ready PC should be able to run it without any problems.

Yeah..Last time Microsoft got said they will use 64bit in Windows 7..But we will see..

I wonder if the Windows 7(RTM Version) is pre-installed IE 8?

You guys install Windows 7 on Virtual Machine or Real Computer?

I heard the RTM version should be released around Q4 09 right?

Anyone using Windows 7 as their primary OS?
How was it?

How about software or driver compatibility?Did you encounter?
Such as not playable games..etc

Have you guys heard of Windows 7 7105?
Only Chinese version thou..
