Stable Windows version, but the XP Mode bit disappointed ...

I am now the proud owner of a Windows 7 version. The installation went smoothly at the 2nd attempt. I think it is better to boot from CD ... Vista does somehow not quite as such with. The computer went on the first attempt of Vista out down easily and got stuck with "Shutdown". That cost me an hour until I disconnected the power cord from the laptop ... forced down'm so to speak. My Vista version was already scrap. Since permanently hung something or I had to Ctrl-Alt-Delete and use start over.

Windows 7 has not made this crash games. I reinstalled all my programs and not even the computer crashed! It also runs everything ran on Vista. I was even surprised that I need to install a printer. My HP printer of August 2008, Windows 7 recognized and installed yourself. First I wanted to install the printer with the software. Then I said 7 that the operating system is wrong. I was only angry, started the XP mode and was horrified that my printer installed, but could not be seen. I made already thought about whether I even can print with my relatively new printer. So please do not install the printer, make a test print after the printer is connected to Windows installation! 7 seems to be very clever.

The Media Player seems to be very very new. Somehow I miss the play list in addition to visualization. Even after 2 hours looking for I have not figured out how I get the list next to it, apparently not. The media player service is a bit strange ... I would like the last player back! :-) Oh no, better not. As always shrugged this waiting ring when I ran out of CD music is not in 7 more. In addition, the player starts at 7 faster than Vista (at least it took on my Vista always so one minute until the first song was played, now it takes only a few seconds!).

The XP mode is a bit tricky. You have to download the appropriate software for now. You get from [...]. Before you do that, however, you should make the check whether the processor is good for it. Then you have to change something in the bios. One must selectieren AMD Virtualization Technology and enablen ... As the check is called, I forgot. Was saved on my old version. Just googling ...

Anyway, I'm disappointed with the XP Mode something, I will not need him. I wanted to install Cubasis VST 3. The program requires 64-bit High Color or so - when XP mode but you can not adjust the colors further, so I at least for the music program Cubasis pitch. But go, too few business programs ... I want to know what percentage of all the old gizmos and what programs. Times like So much XP, I no longer need ... the games but also determines high color, or ???

Well, Windows 7 worth it for those who have a sch ... Vista. Those who might have bought a PC last year and want to like to have a more stable operating system.
