Insane how Vista for some runs great and others is just a piece of shit.

W7 last time I checked is scheduled for a 2010/2011 release and I wont be able to afford another PC tell then most likely so Im good and I'll just wait for it.

I just freeload of my brothers Vista laptop anyways. Which runs decent but not great.=/

People should still be excited for W7 I mean from all Ive read people hardly have any issues with it. Fixes everythign people bitched about Vista and a bit more. Upgrading OS is pretty dumb imo too. Just buy an whole new PC or rebuild current with new parts.

Its 2009 release, probably July.

And most analysts agree that M$ will likely get it out the door before the end of 2009, if not by mid-year.

Then agaijn what do I know. Its not like I'm the one claiming that the Vista betas were faster than the shipped product...

they were.. they were not loaded with all the Windows Defender, Firewall, and other crap that slows down the OS.

There's no way they'll get it out mid 2009
After the Vista reputation of getting pushed out the door quickly they'll want to get it as good as possible before releasing it. Rushing it means they don't give developers enough time to get their programs and drivers ready for it.



Never argue with idiots
They bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience

Uhh, no they weren't.

I was in the beta program and I remember the painful startup times, programs crashing constantly and unbelievable memory usage. The final version was by no means perfect, but it was tangibally faster. After ages SP1 fixed most ofthe remaining issues.

Vista was in public beta around June. 7 is in public beta in Janurary. Vista had 2 public betas, 7 is only meant to have one.

Vista was a significant change from XP. 7 is meant to be an optimized version of Vista that already works with virtually every vista/xp driver and program. Infact it restores some features vista removed.

Vista was a debacle that MS hopes to get rid of ASAP.

I'm pretty sure it will be out by November, hopefully by July. This beta is far more stable than any of the Vista betas, and arguably on the same level as the Vista RC1,

windows defender did a better job at removing vundo on my PC better than programs like hijack and spybot..so I woudnt term it bloatware.. but I can see why people dislike vista.. XP was so freaking sweet.

I'am running Windows 7 beta 1 hell yes it faster than XP, Vista, Vista used Like 800MB of ram just to run the OS, win 7 used Like 350MB of ram just to run the OS and it boot up faster OS just 7GB HDD comparing Vista 15GB HDD (i just don't like WMP 12 in win 7 but is a beta)

It's not me personally that's had the trouble but another senior engineer at our company. It's running on Vista x64 and it appears that the CS4 64bit has issues, but if you run the 32bit version on the 64bit OS then it seems to be ok. I may be wrong though as I've only heard about the issues when he's tearing his hair out. It also doesn't seem to like redirected My Documents either but I don't think that's CS4 specific just an Adobe thing, and an AutoDesk thing too.

I think the main reason that so many of these industries stay Mac focused is because that's what they all learn on when they take classes.

 

So it is CS4 64bit being borked. Good to know, thanks =)
