why is this a thread
Windows 7 is the best OS on the market today. The only reason XP is still supported is because businesses arn't ready to upgrade to 7 yet.
[QUOTE=Orange-Soda;23877340]Windows 7 is the best Windows OS on the market today.[/QUOTE] Fixed that for you. Let's not get cocky :D
my computer is windows xp, you should get 7. Windows xp has been left ou tnow, it cant run dx 10 or 11 and never will. Infact, given the chance i would go windows 7 without thinking twice
Why not just decompile direct x, add xp support, and recompile it? It's not that hard guys... jeez. I swear, it's as if nobody has ever heard of "reverse engineering" before...

XP, it's an easy decision :colbert:
7, it's an easy decision :colbert:
I'd definitely go with 7.
7 is far superior to Xp. 7 is what Vista should have been in the first place.
Linux, it's the best decision :colbert:

Windows is pretty open to me.
Well, seeing as how Windows 7 is better than Windows XP anyway, it looks nicer, it does everything XP did, and [URL="http://www.pcworld.com/article/202612/microsofts_notsosecret_plan_to_cripple_windows_xp.html"]Microsoft is not even supporting Windows XP anymore[/URL]...Why shouldn't you get XP? /endsarcasm Now seriously, get Windows 7.

And don't even think about gaming on it.
Windows 7 is getting a requirement for the support of new software and hardware...... PS the support for windows xp has not ended yet. Wikipedia [quote] Support status: Extended Support until 8 April 2014 (only Service Pack 3 x86 and Service Pack 2 x64)[2] Security updates will be provided free of cost. Paid support is still available. [/quote]

Good luck with your "Linux"
[QUOTE=alphaspida;23927096]Good luck with your "Linux"[/QUOTE] You really suck at trolling.
Really? I'd ask everyone I know and they won't know what Linux is.
Then the people you know just aren't that tech savvy. [editline]05:34PM[/editline] My mum is yet to understand the difference between xp that she uses at work, and Vista that we use at home.. her full understanding of the two different Os's "They look different"

I hate that i'm the only person i know in real life that uses Linux, especially as my main OS. Everyone is a Windows tard, and they wonder why their shit keeps getting infected. :rolleyes:

I like Linux. its just sad that windows is the standard.

2 people out of how many people here?
Bought Windows 7 upgrade edition at play.com around about £79, upgraded from XP and have been happier ever since. Windows 7 is alot faster, it's smoother, it looks much better, it deals with crashing much better (Doesn't come up with thousands of 'Not Responding' stuff, just goes white and tries to fix it for you). It basically is much better than Windows XP.

Would make dealing with hanging programs much nicer.
