| 1366635 | 2014-02-03 01:08:00 | Something odd with Java on them? With my DIL's system, don't think it was a Java problem. Our grandbabies had been downloading heaps of games and was full on virus and malware. It was the first time I'd worked on a Windows 7 system, so was a learning curve. Managed to get it running, but gave it back as was so slow and could only upgrade to 2 GB's and was Win 7 starter. So not a good combination, but a least gave me so confidence on a new system. My desktop is now Vista, something I not had before, either, but getting there. I understand Vista and Win 7 are pretty similar. Is that correct? |

| 1366636 | 2014-02-03 01:44:00 | W7 is built / upgrade from vista. In other words, they took the things that people were complaining about in Vista, fixed them as well as added in some other guff, changed the looks a little, and bingo -- W7 :) | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1366637 | 2014-02-03 03:13:00 | I use kingsoft at home but mostly for the spreadsheets, seems fine to me. At work I use office 2010, don't personally see an advantage either way. |
