      IRC Nickname: Matt|Georgio9 Group: Emeritus Posts: 706 Member No.: 94 Joined: January 3, 2008 Total Events Attended: 0    | So Microsoft decided to release the beta version of what will be Windows 7. From what I saw of the pre-Beta version, it should be a decent operating system. Basically if you don't know, Windows 7 is basically built off of Vista and the Server 2008 operating systems. Pretty much the version of Vista that Microsoft should have released to start with in my opinion. You can download it here for free if you you're interested. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7...a-download.aspx --------------------   | ||||||||

But I think it might be too much of a hassle if I run into some problems. So I might just wait for the full release.. idk. --------------------   | ||||||||

I have heard its more like vista SP2 (ie. not much better). In all honesty though.... I will stick with Vista untill this PC is fucked or I sell it, OS' are too expensive to buy legitimately and I don't want to pirate one either. Meh.... might get the beta when I put a new HDD in just to see what 'the future' is like lol. --------------------  Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||||||

There's not much difference lol, Vista doesn't really need to get better anyway, I'm pretty fine with it, apart from a random bug or two. By the way those two guys that are on the Windows 7 Videos, I don't know why, but they piss me off lol. It's their accent, and the white guy's facial expression...o.o ~Abs Edit: Only thing that interests me is SkyDrive.

He got connections.  He says he's VERY impressed with it and can't wait for it to come out in public. I can't wait either cuz my dad gets them free from his old job as well!  -------------------- -=}¤- Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici -¤{=-  W I N N I N G | ||||||||

Join the IEEE as a student for $30 US a year, then you get access to everything microsoft has made except for the Office software suite for free as part of the developers package. So right now, I have access to every OS that microsoft has released for desktops as well as servers, Visio 2007, Visual Studio, all their artsy fartsy things like album organising, and what not. It's a really good deal, I'm going to get the OS off the IEEE developers site. Microsoft endorsed with as many product keys as you need. -------------------- | ||||||||

I'm in the same boat with the drive. I kinda need a new hard disk because mines currently full and I don't have alot of things I'm willing to transfer to my external hard drives. I like all of my data to be on my laptop including music. So I think I'm going to get one of the new 320GB 7200rpm seagate notebook drives, then I'll transfer my files to the new drive and install the beta on the old one. -------------------- | ||||||||

I have heard VERY bad things about the latest Seagate drives (7200.11).
Also:
I'm probably going to go with WD for my new drive, since there is very little difference in price  -------------------- Old awards wat Most Mature & Most Honourable Most Dedicated|IRC Freak|Best Emeritus Placeholder lolz | ||||||||

I have a 5400.3 drive in my laptop now. As far as I know, there aren't any problems with the Momentus drives. -------------------- | ||||||||

 IRC Nickname: RobbieThe1st Group: Founder Posts: 770 Member No.: 2 Joined: December 26, 2007 Total Events Attended: 49 | HD wise - I recently bought a 640GB WD Caviar Black. Best harddisk ever - it is near silent(compared to my very loud 250GB WD drives), 100% stable, haven't run into any errors. I really recommend it, over a 500 or 1TB model as the price per GB is the lowest around. I got mine of Newegg for $75. -------------------- Old Avatar - Paypal donation link  I am left handed, and proud of it! Retired from RuneScape.

I was actually going to get the same HD for my PC but I got a 500GB for $10 cheaper. I rethought getting Windows 7 and it looks like I will be getting the 64 bit version as soon as my PC is built. I also plan to have Vista on the same HD. -------------------- | ||||||||
