windows 7 compatible?

My machine runs way faster on 7 than it ever did on XP. Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Of course your newly set-up installation of 7 runs faster than your old, probably never defrag'd installation of XP (there's a reason why you should reformat Windows systems every year or so). I doubt a new 7 installation performs better than a new XP installation though, and the benchmarks seem to agree with me. 7's only advantage over 64bit XP is DirectX 9 - apart from that, all it has are a load of disadvantages, like the horrible GUI, "security features" compromising your actual security, built-in spyware, rootkits and lockout mechanisms...

Oh, and yes, I've tried it. And Vista. And there's a reason why 7 is called Vista SP3.[/threadderail]
