there are so many files required to run windows that it makes it impossible idetify the function of the file.

This alone makes it easier for a hacker to invade the PC.

They can even add items to the registery that corrupt the system. One objective in developing the operating system

would be to reduce the number of files required while increasing its funcionality.

Adding to the registery should be estricted to the computer operator not some one allowed through the fire wall.

Thanks for listening to my babble. Frank

Clara,

Word is part of Microsoft Office which is sold seperate. It is not a free product.

Is there anyway at all to do a cross build (CHK to FRE) in place upgrade? This would be from Windows 7 to Windows 7 (not Vista and not XP). THis is just for a single test machine. I would really appreciate it if there was some sort of workaround for this upgrade block

My own view to windows xp and 7

I can't say a word about windows 7, but my personal expieriences with my owned programm proggrammings are simply great. I can't say that i'm always able to know what i do - about my kind of programming, but it's my own kind of programming and it's the esier way for me. I write codes in my own programming-language and use therefor the Notepad-Editor. I write the code inside and then i decide what the fucking format my programm will gets and i'm pissed on that i'm to stupid to know where my programms are. I often take the connect with other servers to make my own programms better and take therefor the internet to download my finished programms. The reason is that my own programms only starts, when they were downloaded from the internet, then i've got no right bootstation or i shall try to connect the registry formats - in what of kind how ever - in the right way. But i can say that my own vitual platform works right and that i've got installed all the programms i wanted.

Marilyn

I am assuming before you upgraded to Windows 7 you ran the upgrade advisor tool(www.microsoft.com/.../upgrade-advisor.aspx) . Did it tell you that your older pieces of software would run on Windows 7?

What were the results? If the upgrade advisor told you these pieces of software would work, they should work.

Frank,

It sounds like you do not have a genuine copy of windows as the black desktop is a symptom of a non-geniune Windows install.

From your point, I suppose I can understand your pride in W7. I, however, a normal user, hate it. I would use a stronger word than hate if I could think of one right now. This new laptop came with W7 and I am going to return it this week and opt for a used one instead that has xp or vista..or anything other than W7. I run a gaming site. None, not one of 33 games will open and display full screen. They are all boxed in the middle of the screen. For me, like most, this just doesn't cut it. I had heard such good things about W7. It's possible that they are true, but with my main use seeminly banned from this version, I must say that I am the farthest from being a fan.

I am really impressed with windows 7 OS. Have been using many other operating systems in the past but windows 7 has really come beyond my expectations. Installed and picked up almost all the drivers without any hassle (this is a big plus). Bootup is fast too. I hope my users will be happy this year as I have made up my mind to switch to windows 7. Keep it up Microsoft!

Recently I installed a Windows 7 upgrade - in keeping up with the latest and the greatest - on my computer. Even obtaining assistance from India through support.microsoft.com/ea (ea meaning Easy Assist), I downloaded my large quantity of files. It took several hours in converting from Windows Vista to Windows 7, because the files are completely reconfigured. The Win 7 features on my three-year-old Gateway computer appear to be fine, except for one disturbing factor; i.e. the Desktop on my computer screen remains black underneath the icons. There is a Win 7 feature called Personalization that is supposed to provides the capability to display a Microsoft logo or picture on the desktop. I am unable to obtain this feature.

Contact with Gateway provided no solution, thinking they must possess is a driver. No luck.

I would appreciate your suggestions.

I have encountered numerous problems. I wondered if it was the new Norton or the windows 7....so I turned off most features in norton. I am having problems in Foxfire that I don't have when I switch to Explorer. I am also having problems in both.....with....can't get online radio station to play, can't get my address book in blue mountain to open ....can't download my software for my Resonant Field Imaging device ..etc. etc.Hey I need this to work! I skipped vista and stayed with XP...now I have new HP with i7 processor and windows 7 64bit and I wish I was back with XP where everything worked!I have very sophisticated biofeedback software that I am afraid to even attempt to use with this system. These are just a few of the glitches I have encountered. What gives? Seems like every little move is a big deal. I now wish I had made my move to a MAC........

Cosmo,

Haveing 64 bit windows has nothing to do with being able to view this site or any other. Windows 7 64 bit would only effect drivers and software that you install. Your inability to view videos on You Tube would be based on your video settings and browser plug ins. It has nothing to do with your Operating System.

Arthur,

Curious to hear more about your issues. Are you using an older machine? Does the manufacture not have drivers for your audio card? Are you running older software that was not compatable with Windows Vista and now Windows 7?

I am curious to learn more behind your comments.

re: Jon DeVaan

Arthur Harris — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:01:02 GMT

Looks just like Vista problematic. Audio problems. Problems with downward Compatibility issues. Maybe good for office applications not good for real world applications for designers and media windows 7 sucks !! XP pro better and faster.

I use windows 7 and I haven't encountered any of these issue's.

I would however like to see in the next product cycle of Windows the scrapping of the whole start menu and the implementing of a more advanced folder menu that includes most of the actions of the start menu on the new library folder Icon on the task bar. All in all I am liking the new windows 7 very much. Good job guys!

What is the difference between Win 7 32 bit & 64 bit OS that does not allow some programs to install in 32 Bit & not in 64 bit?

In addition "ITunes" has problem with64 bit and not with 32 bit.

I like Windows 7 better than Windows Vista but I have the 32 bit OS on this computer but 64 bit on my new computer.
