Guest XR09 Guests Posted 20/10/09 04:34 AM Share Posted 20/10/09 04:34 AM It's not much different to Vista, but has a few new tools and a few Mac ideas built in. We have been testing it for about 6 months so far and it does run much better then Vista, especially on older hardware. One of the guys at work put it on his Acer ONE netbook and it ran faster with 7 then it did with XP.There is an XP mode built into 7 where you can run any applications that won't run under the new Windows 7 kernal, but you will need to purchase the Professional version to get this.We have already been shipped the retail versions, and there are less versions compared to vista. The 3 flavours are Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate available in both 32 and 64 bit versions.I'm happy to look after any forum members that wish to purchase a copy(or any other hardware/software), but not till after 22nd as MS would tan our hides, just send me a PM.Cheers,BenYeh hey benMate I am chasing a HP Dv7 2112 tx Best price so far is 1459 after 150 cash back if I pay with pay pal. And yep that is an Aussie model. I am waiting for it to have windows 7 on it. I take it 7 is not as ram hungry as vista? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to fill in the paperwork and send it in. There will probably be some shipping charges involved, but they won't be much. HP will send you recovery disks for your machine to 7.If you want anymore info, feel free to ask.Cheers,Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
