Laptop upgrade to Win 7
I actually would love to visit your class, I bet it's a hoot. If you can
provide so much bad advise in one post I can only imagine what you can accomplish in a whole day. -- -- "ANONYMOUS" wrote in message ... Michael Dobony wrote: What was wrong with Vista? How about phantom resets. How about phantom lockups. How about taking longer to shut down than XP shuts down and restarts on the same machine? How about not recognizing Windows-bundled apps that Vista doesn't recognize as legitimate Windows apps? Need I go on? You clearly have very limited knowledge of OS and how they work on systems? Have you thought of coming to my class where I can educate you on the way you should install your OS? |

By definition, moving from Vista to XP is a downgrade, not an upgrade. Lets see, XP is stable, Vista does random resets and lockups. XP runs just about anything written in the last 7 years. Vista can't even run its own bundled programs. XP is 2x faster than Vista. Since upgrading to XP last Christmas XP locked up only about 5 or 6 times. From August to Christmas prior to upgrading to XP, Vista locked up that many times a week. Not very nice when trying to take notes at school. |

And while I'm no fan of Vista, I haven't had much trouble with it, just don't like the slowness and the heavy feel of it. I just upgraded to 7 on my Vista notebook. It's much faster and more responsive than Vista, but there are a few things about it I'm not crazy about either. SC Tom |

"ANONYMOUS" wrote in message ... If you have any machines older than 3 years old, you are strongly advised not to even try doing anything to them because Windows 7 requires a minimum of 1 GB for 32 bit but you will need at least 4GB to do any meaningful work. I recommend 8GB to be really productive. It would be quite impossible for the 32 bit version of Windows 7 to see any more memory than around 3.2 Gb (give or take) for reasons that are frequently discussed in this group. |
