Anything i should know about Win 7?

from Demigod Forums

i'm a long time xp die hard, my friend got vista a few years ago but it sucked... with having to run thing as admin and so forth. Going to make the switch from Xp 32bit to Win 7 64 bit in Juneish (seems like ages) when i should being getting a new uber Computer.

Probs get the one where i can emulate xp just to be safe.

So would anyone be able to give me a few links/info to places where it might make me feel easier in doing the big move, it will be sad that i will be leaving Xp but knowing that Microsoft has done a great job with Windows 7, that it should worth it in the end :')

3 GB is working for me. I understand where yu are coming from though. Stability is a good thing.

Yup stability, reliability and performance... if you have these you're laughing!   And performance doesn't necessarily mean 'top end', either.  If you had a low-end rig that performs well doing all your most frequent tasks, then that's all you need.

Actually I have founfd this single core CPU outperforms the dual core version. Strange. For me it works. I run Firefox with 6 to 8 tabs open, iTunes, MS Word, Sunbird and perhaps a few other programs and this system has been rock solid stable.

That's what I mean.... if you have enough power to run all that you need, that's all you need.   I have the extra RAM and a upper-end CPU/graphics card because I create/edit/dub video and found the lesser systems I had would lag/freeze up too much, especially when multi-tasking  I feel, also, that the 64 bit OS helps in this area, making better use of my hardware.
