no as in, here in Europe they were supposed to be taking it out weren't they, there was even an idea to have a screen appear that let you choose which browser to install

alas its still there, wonder what the EU commission is doing (probably playing with their rattle)

Oh yes. I read about that. Apparently, it is possible to disable it now.

It arrived in the mail today, and I have just finished installing it.
After some BIOS-combat I even managed to get Crossfire up and running.

Ofcourse there still is tons of data and applications that I need to move, but no rush there.
And most of my games are on Steam, so they should be easy enough to move.

Which version of Win 7 do you guys recommend?

Which version of Win 7 do you guys recommend?

I am on Enterprise, and it is quite nice. But on the home side of things, my suggestion would be Pro, or Ultimate, if you've got the coin.

Microsft has a comparison chart:

As far as I can see, the only thing of importance for home users is this

Run many Windows XP productivity programs in Windows XP Mode (separate download).

Someone somewhere has claimed that the cost of getting a lower version and upgrading later is the same as getting the top version from the start. But I havent verified that.

The more important question is 32 or 64 bit, and I think most here will recommend 64 bit.

Windows 7 Professional here

Re: The "I just upgraded to Seven!" Thread

Can someone outline the benefits of going from Vista Premium to 7 Premium aside from the new aesthetic features?

Re: The "I just upgraded to Seven!" Thread

some extra diangnostic tools i believe
better 64 bit support
better kernel management
some driver update features/tool

basically its not a wonderfull whole new world but a update or money grab from the failed release of vista.

Re: The "I just upgraded to Seven!" Thread

I ordered 7 Ultimate for $10 from Microsoft. It ships on the 22nd. (:

Whered you get it for 10 dollars?

Re: The "I just upgraded to Seven!" Thread

I got Home Premium because looking at the comparison chart I saw no reason to spend more on the other features included in Pro and ultimate tbh
