Windows 7? Worth it?

[Colin-Roberts]

bit-tech are very trusted news sources which actually do reliable tests. I will wait to see what they say before i think of downloading it as a main operating system

[HotelUser]

Not a fanboy, I hate all operating systems, I just hate Windows the least because it's excellent for gaming.

Seeing as you've never owned A Mac and therefore never used OSX as your main OS or you've never used every last Linux Distro on the planet suitable for a desktop, I'd say that your statement is ridiculously stupid.

You've been told that 7 is faster than XP, when will this sink in?

Before responding to a post, read the entire thread. As I previously stated I already tried Windows 7. It was faster than Vista but slower than XP.

I want the latest and greatest from everything, you see unlike yourself who is quite content with your iMac and such, which is all fine and dandy, I prefer getting ahead of the game with beta software, new hardware and the like. I don't say things are better if they're not. Vista is better than XP and 7 is better than Vista.

In your own opinion it's better. Then again you said you want the latest and greatest from everything. Therefore you probably think it's better than XP because it's newer.

Your logic is flawed.

You've failed to elaborate.

I don't use a mac, I never have and I never will. My computer will always be far more powerful than your "iMac".

Any negative things you say about Macs I'll simply ignore. You have never owned a Mac, therefore you're not able to judge them properly. Until you've actually had the experience of using a Mac and OSX any remarks you make about them are irrelevant and completely pointless.

As long as you're running a bloated unstable operating system your PC is as good as crap IMO.

You don't realise anyone who takes tech seriously laughs at macrumors for hosting a community of ******s and a full stack of crap news. I am very capable of making a constructive post you just don't view my constructive posts (see: something awful)

Never in a million years would I even suggest that you take tech seriously, or even remotely know what you're talking about. Therefore you wouldn't know; sorry!

Edit: forgot a huge chunk of your blogpost:


Engadget is about as reliable as macrumors, nobody knowledgeable takes any of that network seriously, they're just a bunch of GUYS reviewing games. ZDNet is a large, relatively reliable place to get tech news as it has so many authors and fanboys on both sites it's hard to say it's biased one way or another.

So a tech blog in 7 different languages with an Alexa rating of 1,360 is just guys reviewing games? Out of the 15 articles on their homepage, not one is reviewing games. Your obvious stupidity regarding Engadget just proves my point. You don't know anything about Engadget, but since I praised Engadget and you want to continue this argument, you have to flame Engadget.

I think if I showed this thread to any MacRumor forum users, Engadget viewers or even CNET viewers they'd most likely think you were a joke. In all the years I've been at HxF I've never seen such a misguided user in the Technology section. Walk out side, throw away your computer. Try doing something you're good at.

Seeing as you've never owned A Mac and therefore never used OSX as your main OS or you've never used every last Linux Distro on the planet suitable for a desktop, I'd say that your statement is ridiculously stupid.

Sorry are you mentally ill, I use OS X, Linux and Windows regularly, Linux not so much, you don't need a mac to use OS X.

Before responding to a post, read the entire thread. As I previously stated I already tried Windows 7. It was faster than Vista but slower than XP.

Herp de derp more people have said it's faster.

Your own ignorance is amusing. The latest is certainly not always the best.

It's an expression chuckles.

You've failed to elaborate.

They make operating systems.

Any negative things you say about Macs I'll simply ignore. You have never owned a Mac, therefore you're not able to judge them properly. Until you've actually had the experience of using a Mac and OSX any remarks you make about them are irrelevant and completely pointless.

Hurf durf using a mac is just like any other pc, just with a UNIBODY ALUMINIUM CASE.

Let's put it this way, I've been using OS X on and off for more than 2 years now

Never in a million years would I even suggest that you take tech seriously, or even remotely know what you're talking about. Therefore you wouldn't know; sorry!

I would, I do, I build therefore I am.

So a tech blog in 7 different languages with an Alexa rating of 1,360 is just guys reviewing games? Out of the 15 articles on their homepage, not one is reviewing games. You're obvious stupidity regarding Engadget just proves my point. You don't know anything about Engadget, but since I praised Engadget and you want to continue this argument, you have to flame Engadget.

Already done that. Move along and get with the times.

I think if I showed this thread to any MacRumor forum users, Engadget viewers or even CNET viewers they'd most likely think you were a joke. In all the years I've been at HxF I've never seen such a missguided user in the Technology section.

MacRumor users are all idiots that LOEV THE MAC like it's some sort of futuristic machine from the year 3000 (no, they do not live underwater).

Engadget viewers are just there to look at the shiny pictures.

Who cares about CNET?

Also, as you seem quite content about going on about this "misguided" thing, I've been dealing with tech problems, fixing pcs, doodling with macs and such, building machines and testing them for several years, I think I'm a wee bit more qualified than you to rant about useless hardware in macs and useless software in OS X.

The ball is in your court now boy, lets see you cloud my experience over with "HURF DURF JSUT CAUSE YOU USE PC FOR YEARS DOESN'T MEAN U CAN REVIEW!!!!!!!!! AND JUGE OS X"

Yes it does, yes I do, yes I can.

[GoldenMerc]

Nah XP will be faster by far, so why change

[HotelUser]

you don't need a mac to use OS X.

Pardon me for not assuming that you fail to abide by the law.

Herp de derp more people have said it's faster.

herp de derp, smarter people have said it isn't.

It's an expression chuckles.

You abide by it, expression or not.

They make operating systems.

It's an expression chuckles.

Let's put it this way, I've been using OS X on and off for more than 2 years now

People who can afford real Macs and don't wish to be in Pystar's shoes actually buy a Mac manufactured by Apple. I'm one of these people.

I would, I do, I build therefore I am.

BUUUUUUUR. Wrong.

Already done that. Move along and get with the times.

Not a worthy response to what I said at all.

MacRumor users are all idiots that LOEV THE MAC

Yeah, especially the users in the Windows section who love Windows 7 as much as you?

Engadget viewers are just there to look at the shiny pictures. Who cares about CNET?

Another case of opposing what I like to continue arguing.

Also, as you seem quite content about going on about this "misguided" thing, I've been dealing with tech problems, fixing pcs, doodling with macs and such, building machines and testing them for several years, I think I'm a wee bit more qualified than you to rant about useless hardware in macs and useless software in OS X.

You're not some tech god we're all going to worship. Based on what you post I'd say you're not at all more qualified than me. There are a lot more users in the tech section smarter and more experienced than you.

You say you fix pcs and screw around with computers as if nobody else in this section does either. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you're the only user in this section who thinks they're "tech savy".

The ball is in your court now boy, lets see you cloud my experience over with "HURF DURF JSUT CAUSE YOU USE PC FOR YEARS DOESN'T MEAN U CAN REVIEW!!!!!!!!! AND JUGE OS X"

Once again you assume you're the only one with experience working with computers. In your case I'd even say your experience doesn't speak for much, as a lot of what you say are the words of an idiot.

You've not said anything logical, nor have you provided me with any proof that what you're saying is genuine. Do you think by saying irrational things and not providing proof is a plausible thing to do? Do you think people will believe you when you can't be bothered to even attempt to to prove what you're saying is genuine?

Stop making funny sounds at me, and start being logical thanks.

[Agnostic Bear]

Thankyou for pressing enter twice after each quote, it makes it much easier for me to reply.

Pardon me for not assuming that you fail to abide by the law.

Like you do?

herp de derp, smarter people have said it isn't.

No they haven't. Tech sites != smarter people.

You abide by it, expression or not.

No I don't.

People who can afford real Macs and don't wish to be in Pystar's shoes actually buy a Mac manufactured by Apple. I'm one of these people.

My computer is far less expensive expensive than a "Mac" and yet performs so very much better, who's the smart one here?

BUUUUUUUR. Wrong.

Wrong.

Not a worthy response to what I said at all.

Considering what I can tell from several members of this forum I've asked and their attitude to you, "eat ****" would be a worthy response to most of your posts. Not that I'd answer with that.

Yeah, especially the users in the Windows section who love Windows 7 as much as you?

I don't "Love" Windows 7, I just like it. I don't know where you're getting this love crap from I see a good OS I praise a good OS.

Another case of opposing what I like to continue arguing.

That's the whole point of an argument, opposition.

You're not some tech god we're all going to worship. Based on what you post I'd say you're not at all more qualified than me. There are a lot more users in the tech section smarter and more experienced than you.

Sure there are, I'm just one of the smarter ones is all. And I'd imagine (Seeming as Dave did, and he's probably one of the smartest ones) they'd agree with me about 7 aswell.

You say you fix pcs and screw around with computers as if nobody else in this section does either. Don't make the mistake of thinking that you're the only user in this section who thinks they're "tech savy".

It's meant towards you muffin cakes, that's the point of an argument, to use points against each other until one either admits defeat or the argument comes to a point where there is nothing to argue about anymore.

Once again you assume you're the only one with expierience working with computers. In your case I'd even say your expierience doesn't speak for much, as a lot of what you say are the words of an idiot.

They're the words of a well trained gentleman.

You've not said anything logical, nor have you provided me with any proof that what you're saying is genuine. Do you think by saying irrational things and not providing proof is a plausable thing to do? Do you think people will believe you when you can't prove what you're saying?

Do you know what logical means? Apparently not. (Don't wikipedia it).

[HotelUser]

Thankyou for pressing enter twice after each quote, it makes it much easier for me to reply.

You're welcome.

Like you do?

I haven't, nor will I pirate OSX.

No they haven't. Tech sites != smarter people.

I spot an error in your code. I would trust a tech site reviewer who gets paid to do reviews and is experienced doing reviews over some arrogant kid on HxF.

No I don't.

Yes you do.

My computer is far less expensive expensive than a "Mac" and yet performs so very much better, who's the smart one here?

I have a nice all in one unit, running a genuine non-illegal operating system with an ALUMINUM BODY CASE. Obviously price doesn't matter to me, though if it did I could justify that the HP all-in-one equivalent of an iMac is in the same price range. Also, I can justify that the extra money is worth it, as I'm getting a much more secure and stable operating system.

Wrong.

Don't you mean BUUUUUUR wrong?

Considering what I can tell from several members of this forum I've asked and their attitude to you, "eat ****" would be a worthy response to most of your posts. Not that I'd answer with that.

They must not be very smart users, if they'd tell someone else to eat ****

I don't "Love" Windows 7, I just like it. I don't know where you're getting this love crap from I see a good OS I praise a good OS.

You love it because it's the latest operating system from Microsoft.

That's the whole point of an argument, opposition.

disagreeing with someone for the sake of disagreeing. You're very mature.

Sure there are, I'm just one of the smarter ones is all.

Well....you made me laugh. The stupidity you've shown us in this thread alone is enough to justify that you're not one of the smarter ones.

It's meant towards you muffin cakes, that's the point of an argument, to use points against each other until one either admits defeat or the argument comes to a point where there is nothing to argue about anymore.

You should also back up your claims as well as you can. This you've failed to do.

They're the words of a well trained gentleman.

Don't flatter me.

Do you know what logical means? Apparently not. (Don't wikipedia it).

You certainly don't know what logical means. Half of what you say are your bias opinions. When you do try to say a fact it's typically wrong, and unsupported by evidence.

[Agnostic Bear]

I haven't, nor will I pirate OSX.

I wasn't on about just OS X.

I spot an error in your code.

pseudocode

I would trust a tech site reviewer who gets paid to do reviews and is experienced doing reviews over some arrogant kid on HxF.

I wouldn't trust them, nor would I trust the kid, but then again I'm not a kid I'm an expert programmer.

Yes you do.

No I don't.

I have a nice all in one unit, running a genuine non-illegal operating system with an ALUMINUM BODY CASE.

I have a nice powerful computer running a genuine non-illegal operating system with a HARD STEEL CASE. And blue LEDs to make it go faster.

Obviously price doesn't matter to me, though if it did I could justify that the HP all-in-one equivalent of an iMac is in the same price range. Also, I can justify that the extra money is worth it, as I'm getting a much more secure and stable operating system.

OS X isn't any more stable than Windows Vista on the right hardware. You're paying for overpriced off-the-shelf hardware. Enjoy doing that.

Don't you mean BUUUUUUR wrong?

No I mean Wrong.

They must not be very smart users, if they'd tell someone else to eat ****

They're a lot smarter than you are.

You love it because it's the latest operating system from Microsoft.

I don't love it at all.

disagreeing with someone for the sake of disagreeing. You're very mature.

To put it in your words "disagreeing with someone for the sake of disagreeing. You're very mature."

Well....you made me laugh. The stupidity you've shown us in this thread alone is enough to justify that you're not one of the smarter ones.

No you're just seeing stupidity cause you're dim, and that's what this argument is about, dim people arguing with non dim people.

You should also back up your claims as well as you can. This you've failed to do.

:toot: most things can be found by googling! google is a useful tool.

Don't flatter me.

I was referring to myself. Not that you'd pick up on that

You certainly don't know what logical means. Half of what you say are your bias opinions. When you do try to say a fact it's typically wrong, and unsupported by evidence.

All I have to say to that is: Intentional Logical Fallacies.

Windows 7 is faster than XP.
Fact.

Move on.
