Don't bother when your PC has some older hardware. It's often pretty ****ty to get the right drivers. And make sure you at least have 2gigs of RAM. You'll be needing that.
I run windows 7 pro and ultimate here. Didn't really pay for it, sorry.
I mean, it's not like I would if I had to. In that case I'd just install Ubuntu
.
I bought five XP Licences and two 2000 licenses throughout the years. I always buy microsoft input devices and I have bought quite some microsoft games. I think they've made enough money out of me by now.
Eitherway, Windows 7 runs good. I put the taskbar back to normal, quick launch included. The Image viewer sucks (you can't delete or rotate fullscreen) and auto arrange of icons in folders is really annoying (renaming files makes them move around all the time). But apart from that, it's fast (faster than Vista), stable and the search function is utterly brilliant.
