[gopi_vbboy]

Am presently a user of WinXp SP3 ...working charmly till now ...i even use ubuntu

now i upgraded my ram...now want to install either vista or Windows 7 RC

bt considering my stabilty...will all my downloaded n old progs in xp works fine in vista or Seven?...like i mean the setup files i hav downloaded in xp.

which one to go?or wud u say to stay with XP...

my main uses of OS are programming sometimes,gaming(not hardcore jus COD,Urt,CS),browsing...i prefer speed n bit good look

ubuntu is not an issue now i can put it any time later

A combination of XP and win7 will be good.

WinXP SP3

If you haf the computing power, then Win 7 is all I'd recommend. You can run XP as a virtual machine (in any of the free VMMs) if you want to (tho I don't feel the need to). Give Vista a pass.

is it possible to install win7 keeping my existing winxpsp3 n ubuntu installation...or need to format?

 

[Krazy Bluez]

I don't know which is the best, but the thing I know is that VISTA is the least... so there you go... I simplified it for you...

Atleast wait till windows Seven gets into full stream.
Till then its really so difficult to judge.Using RC editions is really not what we can quote as software testing.

XP with SP2 is the best among the three.

 

[gopi_vbboy]

will hav to wait for win7...wont change to vista..

Win 7 among the three, since you can run Virtual XP also (like backward compatability) in case you cant run a certan app

I think what he is asking is if he can upgrade directly from Windows XP to Windows 7. Unfortunately this is not currently supported. Honestly it is best to do a fresh install anyways, and then install what you need. It may take you a little bit longer, but it will save you a lot of headaches in the long run. You _CAN_ install Windows 7 as a second OS on your system and dual boot. This way you keep your old install and have your new install. The site to get a license for evaluation of the Windows 7 RC and download the .ISO to burn to a DVD-R is located on Microsoft's TechNet site at:

I think XP is the best yet because windows 7 is fast as XP ... So XP is the best till now. But yes windows is 7 better than Vista.


Will wait until another OS like XP is in market.

 

[Nuxer]

Windows XP SP3.

 

[swordfish]

windows 7

Use Windows XP until Windows 7 comes out, then do a fresh install of Windows 7. Don't use the RC because it isnt the finished product.

I Guess windows7 is one of best OS microsoft has ever released...

If they can show some stability they can beat Linux ...

Look at few features they have inbuilt --
