Windows 7 Pro RTM – first impressions
Posted on September 24th, 2009 by Brian Corbino
I’ve installed it on a six year old Thinkpad. It runs better than XP did on the same machine. So far all my apps work, but then again there’s been time for developers to accommodate the changes that Vista required and for me to upgrade in the normal course of events. Because ATi sucks, I had to rely on a hacked driver package to get the video to work, but other than that it’s been pretty smooth. Installed from a USB stick.
In other news, I’ve got the RC installed on a 7 year old Athlon XP with an nVidia 7600GS in it. This was my “daily driver” until I replaced it in 2007. I’ve got most of the stuff I use on a daily basis installed on it and running fine.
Windows 7 – what Vista should have been.
