| 1344814 | 2013-06-05 08:14:00 | I prefer Windows 7. I don't like being stuck in the past too long :p But Windows XP was great while I had it :) |

| 1344815 | 2013-06-05 08:18:00 | We get the OS with the hardware so we've moved onto Windows 7 / Starter. We don't really use old equipment, takes up unnecessary space. We have 2 spare XP boxes but the (1) CRT monitor went kapuf so not even being used a web box. | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1344816 | 2013-06-05 08:41:00 | Yep. At home and at work. Main OS at home these days in Win 7 | paulw (1826) | ||

| 1344821 | 2013-06-05 11:48:00 | windows 7 tiny/lite are custom modifications of windows 7. similar results can be achieved using tools like nlite can be activated using a product key you likely already have. in short, its what NT6 should have been. would be nice to see it as windows NT6 basic and all the extra features in a pro/ultimate version as is it even starter edition has tonnes of bloat. puppy linux uses 50MB of ram on boot, windows 7 tiny will use 200-240MB and slowly drop to 150MB as it pages out. in a virtual machine with 384MB ram no complaints were encountered during install and upon loading FTL memory usage was maxed out and after quitting windows was using 90 odd MB probably a legally grey option but its windows 7 and if you already have a superior version it seems legit; these modifications can be done yourself. |

| 1344822 | 2013-06-05 20:34:00 | Pretty sure its illegal just as making an XP version was too | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1344823 | 2013-06-05 21:12:00 | And if your computer has less than 512MB RAM, it's time to upgrade anyway. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
