Who is going to try Windows 7?
« Reply #15 on: May 08, 2009, 01:43:36 pm »
I wonder how popular 7 is over Vista? I am tempted to go back to Vista.

I bought a subscription to Windows Live One Care, before the public release of 7 came out, and it doesn't work in 7.

I feel like I am missing out on stuff too.

BUT, the british voice lipsyncs Hal in Windows 7.


  I wonder if they will include Windows defender in an update?

Hmmm, starting over would be a drag, so I'll wait a bit longer I guess.

I put windows 7 on a spare 80 gig drive i had & am running it on my normal computer.
At start-up you have the choice of which system you wish to use.
Not done much with it as yet, just finding my way round.
I went on the net with IE to set up my site maker program but it could not find the address????
Loaded Firefox & tried again, Firefox found it straight away!!!
Internet Explorer SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mark,
Are you getting GUI's from lifehacker or something?
Incredimail as far as I know doesn't integrate with One care as a primary email so it wouldn't be scanned like Avast! would.
What are you missing? or feel like you are missing?

I am not sure, but I found that I have Windows 7 Ultimate, and can create a disk image (like Ghost does) in the event of a system crash.

Incredimail and OneCare worked when I had Vista.

But it don't matter. I may use the 7 from now on since it has a backup (where my Home premium did not) to restore all my Windows files.

Time will tell. But I always backup my documents and etc. (unless I lose it between backups.

Mark,
XP Pro has a 'ASR' backup option which backs up everything by taking a 'snapshot' of all files on a drive if needed but it is not always necessary. And the Home version of XP doesn't have the backup feature.

So I imagine Home vista and lower end versions of 7 do not have the backup options

I am always "losing" it [;)] sometimes ya got to just go with the flow...

When I buy a "New" computer, I usually get the home version for free.

If windows 7 Ultimate works out, I may buy it, unless Windows 8 comes out. lol. [:0]

Uhh...XP Home DOES have a backup program. If you can't find it, look in your C:\WINDOWS\system32 directory then find and double click on the file, ntbackup.exe . It is the Windows Backup and Restore Wizard. It's not for removable devices as it warns of such, but should back up / restore your other files in your system.

I have a separate external backup device that handles my backups but a friend tells me that he uses this one quite often with no problems.

Art,
Don't confuse the system restore with the wizard or ASR backups[;)]
