Justin Smith Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Who the hell told you that changing the OS would void the warranty? I would ask them to clarify that if I was you!!! XP or Windows 7. Try and avoid getting Vista unless you are entitled to a free Windows 7 upgrade,. Coles told me that, and when I saked to talk to the manager he confirmed it ! Apparently I`m not entatled to a free W7 upgrade because my Vista is only the Bsaic version. I have to wonder what the point would be bearing in mind that someone on here said W7 was more like Vista than XP anyway ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Smith Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Recommending an outdated operating system just because you can't get used to some minor differences is terrible advice. Copy files is no more difficult in Vista, or 7 than it was in XP or 2000 - How hard is it to highlight the file, press CTRL+C to copy and then CTRL+V to paste it? Bearing in mind that XP did everything I wanted it to, it depends on how much one values ones time. And how frustrated one gets when one has to waste it learning a load of new stuff...... I find File and Folder tasks to be a very handy and easy way of copying/moving info. Incidentally I`ve got a Peak Flash Disk whose security software doesn`t seem to run on Vista when it works fine on XP, is that normal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hard2miss Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 A lot of the Vista problems were pre service pack with lack of driver support ect, Im sure Win 7 even with the beta version there will be complaints and crashes with driver issues ect. I use XP as its tryed and tested and running sweet for me altho I have Vista Buisness also which I can honnestly say runs ok too. The thing that really gripes people about vista and keeps them with XP is the amount of resorces Vista uses in comparison with XP. I have tryed the Win 7 Beta and found it to run a lot like xp with the vista look, Im sure a lot of vista features are in but just off by default and on at user discretion, I don't think Win 7 will be all it can be until the Beta version has ended, and the first service pack is out like it was with XP. My Beta win 7 was allways crashing and updating, thats why I put XP back on until I get round to buying a retail version of 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression that Windows & was already out of beta which is why they're now charging money for it. My desktop which runs 7 is rock solid and significantly more stable the my wifes laptop which runs a fully updated Vista. Of course I made my desktop out of good quality reliable components and she's got a Dell so the comparison isn't all that fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hard2miss Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 win 7 beta will run until next june or july I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarfendor437 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 win 7 beta will run until next june or july I think. Wrong! win 7 beta ceased to function Jun/July this year - win7 rc1 is the current release that expires on 10 March 2010 or near enough - I know it is sometime around March anyway.

3leven Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well, I will say Windows 7. Vista is not good as many people are not using them. WIndows XP is still in use as its the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
