Microsoft did a OS that just works!
-
I did installed Windows 7 (build 7077) and I'm amazed that I don't need install drivers for any hardware! Weven detected correctly even the fax-modem card, and my multifunctional. Clicking in "Devices and Printers", I can right-click my multifunctional and appeared options to scan files. I don't need install drivers from epson or from my motherboard or... everything! I'm amazed how plug'n play this OS is (and I wonder that "plug'n play" took near 15 years to be real...). Nice work, Microsoft! :thumbsup:

Looks like it is finally time for me to upgrade from XP. :)

I've only ever had about three freeze-ups in about nine months, and I suspect EA more than MS.

I assume you got a 5 from the same person who 1s me every time I point out a bug in MS software. If only a 1 vote was all that was needed to fix the crap that Microsoft sells.

I'm ignorant here, what's the equivalent of Visual Studio on the Mac? Suppose I want to develop in Objective-C, also for the iPhone.

I remember hearing from a trustworthy source (at MS) that XBox runs a custom version of Windows 2000 server.

XCode, full version comes with every Mac. I tried it briefly once, didn't seem particularly friendly, but that was about a year ago now, need to sit down and have a proper play with it.

How old is your hardware ? I've always found that a new OS has the drivers built in for all my existing hardware. But of course, if you buy new hardware, you will need drivers.

Give the release candidate a go when it's released. It really is what Vista should have been.

Ah come on, don't spoil the fun. I've finally considered to try one of their 'latest stuff' in over 5 years. :)

It's not like Visual Studio, for better or worse. It does take some getting used to, and it has a LOT more annoying quirks for those of us used to VS.

I agree! I'm so tired of Visual Studio that in my small personal projects I do only in SharpDevelop. I'm eager for SharpDevelop 4.0 with WPF support...
