| 1237492 | 2011-10-14 06:52:00 | I have been arguing with my brother about which OS is best, XP or W7? I like W7, he likes XP, says that W7 is too fussy. Windows 7 is a bit strange to begin with, but I find that the settings are very easy to make. Both are stable. Which do you prefer? |

| 1237493 | 2011-10-14 06:57:00 | i prefer win7 as it is newer :D it blends with office 2007/2010 . and it is a more like other OS on the market etc . . . we have xp sp3 on a old computer acting as a network print server as the printer does not work with x64 OS . xp is easier laid out . less clicks to get a place . if you are to browse the network etc . . it is easier . likewise sharing folders et al . . . but xp just feels old . win7 has free antivirus (MS), gadgets on desktop like weather, FX etc etc . . . , free image software . |

| 1237495 | 2011-10-14 07:43:00 | :devil Vista is better than either, really, if you want to arrange a folder in the order you prefer, yet still want a decent search function. | KarameaDave (15222) | ||

| 1237497 | 2011-10-14 07:48:00 | Both are alright. I'm still using XP in XP mode (in Win7 Pro) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1237498 | 2011-10-14 14:07:00 | i prefer win7 as it is newer it blends with office 2007/2010. Office can go to blazes as far as I am concerned. Won't use it - OO is the way for me - so there's no consideration for this trivial bit for me. and it is a more like other OS on the market etc ... Do you mean something that starts with the 'L'-word? Not a biggie to me as a qualifier, methinks. win7 has free antivirus (MS), gadgets on desktop like weather, FX etc etc..., free image software. BUT - do you mean that I cannot run MSI on my XP machines? I do. Use it, that is. It works a treat and I have no problems with it at all. So there that too. |

| 1237501 | 2011-10-14 18:55:00 | From this side of The Equator and the Northern Hemisphere, ME sux. I have never had such an unstable platform in my experience. It seemed to gobble RAM or IRQs or buffers or something and the puter just got 'full o' cr@p' fast and required a reboot - which it was quite capable of doing all by itself all the time - just to clear out it's head. |
