Yeh I've used Vista, bit of a joke really!! Uses a shed load of resources. I'm on XP64 for the minute.

Re: Windows 7
I have the iso downloaded but I am worried about it being a trial and certain things not working

Re: Windows 7
Well been running this for 2-3 months now. The operator system is really good, and quite efficient. Easy to use and has a lot of features for personalisation.
One bug I've noticed which is quite annoying, is that if you turn user account controls all the way down, you lose the desktop gadgets. To conbat that you have to have it on it's lowest setting, which means you still get securit protocols popping up for silly tasks.
It also does NOT like CS4, I'm having quite a few issues with it at the moment on that front.
It will do for now though until I find a stable version of OSX for PC

Yep, my mates running it on his laptop, probably quite a similar spec to yours also. It's runs alot more efficiently to Vista, so would probably suit your laptop better.randomage wrote:Any idea if this will run on a laptop? running vista at the minute, dualcore 2gb, 2GHz.
Only the BETA version is out at the moment remember, which expires in August i think.

Re: Windows 7
Cheers. Vista is terrible, ive just gotten used to it. Getting rid of the sidebar actually helps speed it up a lot.
