Windows 7? Worth it?

[HotelUser]

The way the world works and society is that we compare new to old, same as cars, same as Os's, TV's etc, it's a way of showing differences and the way technology is moving forward, ***, are you stupid? everything is benchmarked, compared, discussed, archived, and moving on.

Everything that has a newer version will be benchmarked from the old one.

We do compare new things to old things, yes. Though in the technology world comparing two operating systems made 8 years apart typically doesn't happen. I see many more XP vs Windows 7 than I did Vista vs Windows 98.

In my opinion speed is irrelevant, naturally a newer version is likely to be quicker, but I don't see this as the point. The fact is that the BETA of Windows 7 has been out for a very short period of time in the scale of software development. Therefore, we must look at how stable 7 is. Yes it may seem perfectly stable on the top, but it really hasn't been widely available long enough for a conclusion to be drawn, and there could well be some serious holes beneath the surface, as there generally are in unstable software.

Based on that, I would stick with a stable system such as Vista, or even XP. Just my opinion.

Can I just say (without causing a out-roar) that I never remember OS X 10.5 being benchmarked against OS X 10.1. Similar time difference..

You have the same laptop as me I like it as it is with Vista, but I might upgrade it.

I'm of the same opinion. Vista is perfectly fine for me at the moment. May consider it when the proper version is out though

This is a list of people who care, or have ever cared about OS X 10.1:

Yes they did, do you need me to read you the post or are you just playing pretend blind man?

I'm sure the people at least vaguely interested in Macs cared about it at the time as well as the people with a reasonable interest in technology who probably cared about seeing whether it was any good.

Why do you post to deliberately cause arguments? Do you want to come across as arrogant and for people not to like you? At least try to post constructively at some point in the foreseeable future :S.

You have to understand, he's incapable of being even remotely reasonable. It would be interesting to see the response to what he's said at Macrumor forums.

Well he's making very generalised assumptions that are extremely unlikely to be true.

If he's going to be right about almost everything, which it seems to me like his aim, then he needs to grow up a little and make absolutely sure he is thorough in what he posts.
