Windows 7 Pre-orders Beat Harry Potter and the deathly hollows Pre-orders

I dont see what the big deal with Windows 7 is, it runs just as well as Vista. I have been using Vista since 2007 and its gotten progressively better, when I started using Windows 7 it used just as much RAM and ran games just the same.

What book?

lol.
Made the jump from XP to Windows 7 last week. I'm still surprised by how fast I got everything set to my preferences. Never going back :)
Well there are a lot of PCs, but there aren't a lot of people capable of reading a book (even if it's just Harry Potter). Not to mention that for a PC Windows is pretty much the only choice (sure there is Linux, but how many would be able to (or even want to) use that? Few), but there are many different books.
So I'm not surprised, though I'd have a feeling that I'd be happier if it was the opposite (not because I have some crazy love for HP or some burning hate for W7, read ahead before raging), at least that would mean that people are starting to read books (even if just HP), it's a real challenge to find someone that reads books and doesn't think it's "gay" (or maybe I've just been unlucky for that part).

Compared to vista my system runs ALOT faster with Windows 7. Also less annoying security pop-ups.
Vista was total failure.

I disagree completely, Vista is one of the best operating systems I've ever used. Obviously Windows 7 is superior, but claiming that it was a total failure is absolutely incorrect.
This is a good thing.

I need to remember that one, could come in handy.
Also yay for W7.
Pppppposting from [official] Windows 7.
It's awesome. Feels faster and lighter than Vista by alot. Starts up faster too. Good stuff.
It's got loads of new functions that make it really easy and pleasant to use and of course, lots of new eye candy.

I've never been more annoyed by an OS. XP is superior compared to Vista.

Just because it's irrelevant doesn't make it wrong.

No.
"hey mom, mind if I buy Windows 7" "how much is it?" "over $100" "eh... what do you have now?" "Vista" "OHGODGETWINDOWS7!"
... yeah, I'm going to get Windows 7.
"What's this mean? People are actually going out to buy Windows 7 instead of waiting for their next PC to upgrade, sure. But what's this really mean?"
What is this mean?
Looks like anyone bashing it hasn't actually tried it, and is just afraid of change. Good change, faster than both Vista and XP change.

It was amazing how much better my PC runs with Windows 7 from XP X64 (Was laying around, worked fine). There had to be a good five things I didn't have to reinstall because they were built into the OS.
deathly hallows wasn't even that good anyways
[QUOTE=Itachi_Crow;17946299]Um. Yay?
XP is still functional and Vista isn't that bad.
What's new about 7 that makes it so high in demand? I haven't been paying attention.[/QUOTE]
omg what world are you living
XP is a really good system the only backdown is that it cant handle a big computer
Vista was the new ME worthless as junk not worth buying slowing down computer full of error
well vista was an error in itself..
but back to topic ... omg Windows dident know it would be that populary^^
well since im pre beta tester i can only say good things about the system... those errors they had in the beta face got fixed in the RC2 so all in all a good system.. well
the security in is ridicules like in vista you have to go in and change some settings in system32 so it wont ask you to accept just for looking at the computer
but all in all nicely done windows... lets hope you dont fuck this up like you did with vista and ME

You don't have to edit a file in System32 its a setting in the control panel.

I really, really want to lay into all the things you are getting wrong, and your repugnantly awful spelling, but I'm watching something so I'll just tell you to shut the fuck up before you embarrass yourself even further.

Crysis Warhead only goes up to dx 10.
