I already had my Win7 RC leaked ISO downloaded on April 25 and am currently on Windows 7.

This is the best Windows MS has ever created. It's pretty fast. Almost comparable to Ubuntu 9.04. But not quite an "Out of the box" OS.

And MS is providing a Windows XP virtualization mode for Windows 7 as well.

" Windows XP virtualization " What does that mean?

[utkarsh30june]

Windows 7 will use desktop virtualization so you can run Windows-XP-compatible applications caused almost as much excitement as the news the Windows 7 Release Candidate would ship this week and next. The planned Windows XP Mode will, theoretically, let you keep on running your existing applications on a brand-new Windows 7 machine, even if the applications themselves don't yet run natively on Windows 7.


Windows XP Mode is an add-on for Windows 7 Professional and higher that comes in two parts, each of which has its own setup. The first is Windows Virtual PC, a new version of Microsoft's free desktop virtualization platform, and the second is Virtual Windows XP itself, which is a virtual hard drive pre-loaded and licensed with Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Sounds pretty cool, eh?

YOu did not just say that!!!!You know utkarsh that windows cannot compare. even to windows 7.

Windows is all full of viruses, it's got really slow shutdown/startup and takes up all your RAM, plus it doesn't come with heaps of nice open source software like Firefox and openoffice.


hmmmm maybe i should stop flaming windows users.
