Well, most well written programs are compatible with Windows 7. When I first installed it, the colors were very wacky. I knew at first it was my graphic driver. So I downloaded the Windows 7 beta graphic driver. Make sure your graphic card manufacturer has a Windows 7 graphic driver before installing!I had a little trouble installing Adobe products, Visual Studio, and .NET Framework. And AIM is barely compatible. It crashes a lot. The pro version seems to work the best. I have yet to see the decreased boot times. It boots slower in my opinion. Shutdown times are improved. Overall performance is smooth. And it just feels like a modern operating system. If any of you have anymore questions, let me know and I will try to answer them.

I think it boots faster. I haven't used too many applications on it, but haven't had any serious issues with any of the ones I have used. I don't use IE8, but it is pretty cool on how it works with windows 7 taskbar.

I don't think my Dell boot screen likes Windows 7. When the boot screen is supposed to load the OS, it seems to freeze for about ten seconds until loading the "Starting Windows" screen.

That's possible, I'm on a dell laptop and it has no waiting period. Maybe yours just doesn't like it.

I think Windows 7 Boots pretty fast, Its a great OS.
The final version will be even better

Any ways here's my desktop.

The Windows Start Menu auto hides, and so does the bottom Dock.

I'm OCD with my Desktop, and Hate Icons.

I'm liking the Royale theme that I got for Ubuntu, it's nice and familiar. I'm really liking windows 7 too, but I won't post pictures of that.

I...think he was asking if he could set that up to be a second OS (dual/bi-boot)

Jzimmer09 · Post by **Jzimmer09** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 8:50 pm

I do believe you can Duel boot. I was talking to someone who had 7 and XP on his computer. I could be mistaken tho.

I have xp, ubuntu and 7 on my laptop. Yes it's possible to multiple boot with it.

BUT, what i am asking is, like Vista it wouldnt let u install as a secondary OS, does win7 do the same?

OwnZ joO · Post by **OwnZ joO** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 12:26 am

What are you talking about? Do you mean install an operating system after it? I installed ubuntu after installing windows 7 if that's what you mean, but Ubuntu uses another boot loader, so it might be different.

Dragonfire · Post by **Dragonfire** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 12:47 am

argh...

Vista wont install as a secondary OS, aka it wont install if there is already another OS on the hdd, is win7 the same?

plz tell me u understand that -.-

Are you telling us that we can't install vista and choose which os to boot from? Then that entire week of installing vista as a secondary os never existed?
