So ive had Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for a little while now.
What are my overall impressions on it?
From a gamers point of view:
Awesome, it's great, one thing us gamers will benefit from Windows 7 is the Direct X 11, boy is it nice, but what about when we get annoyed with the pop-ups asking if we want to run this program, that program etc? It's really annoying, but I wont downgrade Windows 7 just for that as it has it's good points, it is sleek, stylish and very fast, infact, being an old XP user myself, never actually using Vista, Windows 7 is abit hard to navigate, I opened up paint today for some screenshots, boy was I confused, there are so many buttons 😀. But apart from it taking a little while to get used too, Windows 7 is GREAT for Gamers, it's everything we ever dreamed of, it's got great Graphics thanks to Direct X 11 etc, it's sleek and stylish (Check SS for details) and it's ultra fast, and definant must get for all hardcore gamers and/or Windows XP fans.
From a normal users point of view:
Windows 7 like mentioned above is extremely fast and stylish, it's the "next level" operating system and if I must say, probably the better out of all the OS'S on the market today. If your an ex Vista user swapping over to Windows 7, you will not go wrong, Windows 7 is pretty much a Vista remake just with different/more advanced features etc. When a user first looks at Windows 7, I bet they would be like "WOW", well that's how I was like anyway 🙂.
Which to get? 32bit or 64 bit?
Well currently I wanted to take advantage of my 4GB of ram and any future updates I want to add to my ram, so I decided to go with the 64-bit. Some of you might say, oh but 64 bit doesn't work with many games etc, I will say this to you, BULLSHIT, Windows 7 is running all of my games flawlessly even though im running 64 bit. The advantage in choosing Windows 7, well, you get both bits when you buy Windows 7, you get a 32 bit disk and a 64 bit disk, how good is that! So if you decide that the bit you installed is not right for you, NO PROBLEM, just use your alternative bit disk that came with your purchase and WALA, you've got the version you want.
I guess this wasn't a very detailed review, I just wanted to make a short "review" on what I think of Windows 7 at the moment.
My overall score for OS'S now are as follows:
Windows 95: 2/10
Windows 98: 3/10
Windows ME: 3.5/10
Windows XP: 7/10
Windows Vista: 5/10 (Based of what I experienced on friends computers etc.)
Windows 7: A whopping 9/10 because nothing is ever 10/10 as nothing is perfect 😀.
Hope you enjoyed my review/thoughts.
