I'm using windows XP SP2/Firefox 2

Windows 7 is the future OS but it needs time. Firefox is the best browser ever. (Bug/security/interpret-speed wise)

Lol.

Worms sux in Windows 7, colors are f@#!ed up, and as Ray said you gotta close explorer.exe everytime you play !
Also i noticed i couldnt join directly from Snooper !

I use it cuz of new comp, couldnt put XP in it, dunno why.. but if you can keep XP, then I suggest you to keep it !
I havent seen yet any "new awesome feature" in windows7 that I had not in XP, it's kinda the same shit with some new useless visual effects, or new useless features like shaking ur window to close other windows in the background.. I'm against any new product from MS hahah they suck more and more every year imo !

and for the browser I use .. IE6 of course !! cuz i love it for his non-respect of css standars and the way he f@#! up the designs !!!  :P
lol J/K I use FF 3.6!

Windows 7 has a lot of things over Windows XP. It has instant search, it has a 64x version that doesn't suck and escalates much much better with technology. Not to mention DX10, soon 11  and it being incredibly faster in basically everything.

Windows 7 is not faster than Windows XP, it can't be. I guess you have the feeling that its faster because you got it on a new computer which is faster. But seriously, its simply impossible that its faster as it has higher system requirements, more features, which means more shit running in the background and so on. I recommend you check some game benchmarks with comparison between Windows 7 and Windows XP if you dont believe it.

I would surely go for Windows 7 if i was about to buy a new computer though, as it has many advantages over Windows XP.

Windows 7 is faster because XP hits a barrier as soon as you go over a fixed amount of power. Windows XP can't even go above 6 RAM on a Dual Core without wasting a lot of that hardware. Sure, Windows XP will be faster on an outdated machine but ultimately Windows 7 does better use of superior hardware and thus in the end can reach faster speeds of processing and raw power, ergo it's faster.

Come again

Gotta compare it on the same hardware though if you want to compare the speed of both OS's...  ::)

Chakk, about game comparision, it works for the titles released before announcing win7 (still, not much of a difference), but fresh releases works identical or even with slight advantage towards win7 because they mainly were designed for it. I'm basing this on my experience as a both OS' user.

My setup: win7x64+FF, although I use chrome for quick googles.

I don't think you understood my post, so unless you actually adquire effecitve reading skills I suggest dropping the little remarks.

You put Windows 7 on an i7 8GB RAM computer and it will run noticeably faster than Windows XP on that same machine.

What a wonder if Windows XP doesnt use all the RAM. :) Its just wrong to say that Windows 7 in general is faster than Windows XP just because Windows XP wont make use of your system memory if you have over 4 GB installed. Of course for a modern computer with loads of memory i would always go for Windows 7 as it simply supports modern hardware better.

Title: Re: what windows and browser?
Post by: Aerox on February 23, 2010, 12:41 PM
That's not what I mean.

What I'm saying is that Windows XP hits a hard cap at a certain point in hardware which Windows Vista and Windows 7 can go beyond and thus offer more performance. Yes, Windows XP handles lower end machines better, but Vista and 7 are much more powerful with more power at hand. You give Windows XP 8GB worth of "processing data" and it won't be using that RAM power as efficiently as 7, which will be cutting through as if it were ham with its X number of cores.

Crazy, you get offended when someone uses word gay as a synonym to something lame/bad
and you're fine with using retarded as the way to describe 'normal' people acting stupid?
That's a bit hypocratic I think... or gay... or retarted. ;D ;)

Don't take this too serious, mate. :-*

For those who has an old machine, it is better to keep the windows xp, but if you buy a new hardware pack today, theres no point at still using windows xp lol, and about memory, eveyone might know that windows xp doesnot recognize more than 4gb of ram because of plataform of 32 bits, theres widnwos xp 64 bits that can recognize much more than 4gb. But windows vista and 7, can handle better the cores, making it work faster, since nowdays a quadcore processor is very common.
