Anyone running Win7 7600 RTM?
I was thinking about installing the RTM version of Win7 Ultimate x64 (7600), and I was wondering if anyone had any input as far as the activation goes.... I've read up on the Orbit activator, but that RC method seems to keep the timebomb intact, watermark, all that annoying shit....
The Hazar method looks pretty good too, supposedly making it fully activated as if it was really legit. My question is which of these methods will withstand any updates/patches/bugfixes, and possible witch hunts from Microsoft while I figure out whether to keep Win7 or go back to Vista? Also, I can't really find any other methods or suggestions, so I was wondering if there was anything I missed. Another thing I was wondering about is whether or not anyone has any suggestions or input here as far as any software, driver, or hardware issues they've had. |

Honestly, I don't mind Vista at all, and if 7 doesn't impress me much, I think I'll just go back to it. |

I've checked out the RC and a lot of the builds up until the RTM, and Windows 7 is a lot faster than Vista. I even installed Windows 7 on a very old computer, and it detected the hardware without issue. Windows XP didn't do that, and wouldn't even load the XP drivers for the undetected hardware. |

I don't have W7 yet but here's a comparison from a friend. He and my brother both have the exact same builds which are: i7 920 @ 2.66ghz 6gb ram, 2TB hard drives with a GTX280
At idle, Vista is eating up 1.6-2gbs of ram on my brother's comp Friend is running W7 on idle, barely uses anything. It's just like XP again with the features of Vista! For Vista...2gb is barely enough to operate at full capacity, but for W7, 2gb is more than enough for any task! |

I'm just hoping they didn't skimp on the package to make Win7 run faster. If they did, then it would just make sense to stay with Vista if it doesn't annoy you or hamper you in any way. Truth is, once they ironed all the bugs out, and once you got a computer that wasn't hindered by the fact that Vista is the fattest pig of an OS ever, it was a damn good OS IMHO. This is why I'm trying to figure out whether or not I want to purchase Win7, so I'd like to get a taste of it before I was to order it. |
