Also LOL @ U HOTELUSER.

Backward compatibility

Some users switching from Windows 9x to XP disliked its lack of DOS support. Although XP comes with the ability to run DOS programs in a virtual DOS machine, it still has trouble running many old DOS programs. This is largely because it is a Windows NT system and does not use DOS as a base OS, and that the Windows NT architecture is different from Windows 9x. Some DOS programs that cannot run natively on XP, notably programs that rely on direct access to hardware, can be run in emulators, such as DOSBox, or virtual machines, like VMware, Microsoft Virtual PC or VirtualBox.

Norton is crap. You can change the size of the buttons... :rolleyes: Go back to Vista, which is a lot worse than 7 imo.

BUT WE AREN'T ARGUING ABOUT VISTA HERE, WE WERE ARGUING ABOUT WINDOWS 7!

And you know I use a MacBook and a Windows desktop so you can count me out of your statement xoxo

I KNOW Windows 7 is out but people are still (for reasons unknown) sticking with Vista:S.

Also LOL @ U HOTELUSER.

Tom, XP was like a mini Vista when it came out. It's been out for so long I don't think compatibility is an issue any more.

I think it's starting to have compatibility issues nowadays because XP drivers are starting to be phased out, especially for Vista laptops (take mine for example, I put XP on it once and it kept crashing on me because the driver were non existent or outdated.

I agree with your first comment about people sticking with Vista, and it's not exactly hard to upgrade, I know computer illeterate people in real life that have gone from Vista > 7 and done a clean install too.

But the XP thing... Wow. So surely Vista will follow the same life cycle, it will have compatibility issues, become the "now" OS and then die through old compatibility, that is, if people don't upgrade. Although, I can't apply this to Windows 7 because I would class it under the "Vista" type of OSs, it's just taking a **** product and making it better, so it probably won't have the compatibility issues, after all, MS were nice enough to give you a free XP license with it

LOL? Right click task bar > properties > use small icons.

You can also get the quick launch bar back.

And lmao irl, Norton? oh now you didn't?

I get a free upgrade voucher with the HP, and I will order it as soon as I get back from my holiday. But going to wait until I need to reinstall before installing, as I've only just finished loading everything onto the thing, and I currently need the machine for coursework.

Plus it appears HP dont have too many drivers for it yet. W7 does look amazing though

DSGI ( PC World, Currys ect.) Group, sent all their Windows 7 out early because of the postal stikes!
