Also before you buy it see if your school/university has a site license first. I was able to get all my MS software through my undergrad school for $10 and here at my grad school it's free.
How large is the install for Win7 going to be? I've got an empty partition on one of my drives and have been thinking about upgrading from XP 64-bit to Win7. Also, any concern for going 64 bit versus 32 with Win7? Jam it back in, in the dark. |
Oh, this is actually an important thing for me. Can you now put the computer into hibernate when you've got more than 2GB of RAM?
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I installed Win7 on a different partition than my WinXP install, yet I'm not given a boot selection screen when I start my PC up. Can't find how to add it in msconfig like I would in XP, can anyone clue me into it?
I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Mine extracted right into an .iso that I downloaded from my school. =\
I was speaking idiomatically. |
Brady, you know you don't just drop the .iso on the USB drive, right? You need to do some sort of install thing onto your current HD and then move the files over.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I've also noticed that it seems to run a defrag process in the background at all times. After using Win7 for a while and cleaning out a shit ton of files from one of my HDs, I checked with defrag how my drives looked and all of them were at 0% fragmentation!
(Or it could just be Win 7's defrag utility isn't telling me the right thing.) There are a few things they changed that I'm a little annoyed about. One of the features I miss the most and I can't seem to find is in the status bar for folders on XP it would give you how many objects were in the folder, how much space the files in the folder are taking up, and where the files are located. Now it only seems to give info like dimensions and filetype when I click on it, no size info. ![]() FELIPE NO |
It tells you how many files are there, but it doesn't tell you the size of the files.
Also noticed they got rid of the behavior where if you drag a right click to select multiple files it no longer brings up a context menu unless your mouse is above a file when you release the mouse button. I miss that too. ![]() What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
