The spec i'm running now?
http://www.laptopsdirect.co.uk/Acer_Aspire_6930G_Laptop_LX.AUU0X.214/version.asp
.. Will be running it on my http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/range.html?t=pc&c=gaming&r=ANN at work tomorrow
and http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPF-ASUS-Asus-Computer-Terminator-P4-533A one of these beasts with 1GB that i'll dig out
Well as said, I tested W7 out on the above today, with 512MB RAM (thought we'd push it to the limit)
And I have to say, the results were suprisingly good. Runs much better than Vista would on that machine. I would say it runs almost as well as XP on this spec machine.
Very responsive, didn't seem to have much trouble at all..

Aye, I'd be tempted to say that too. Run's very well, and seems pretty stable atm
Can't remember tbh lol, think it was NetCars

i've got it running on a desktop machine and it works fine!
the machine has dual core intel processors with 1GB of ram and it flies!
i've installed office 2007, firefox, chrome, adobe reader 8 (adobe 9 froze on install) and treesize pro (file analyzing software) and they all run fine.
also joined it to a domain and only problem i found is our scripts won't run, the policy's ran though.....
have had it running accross the network to a network projector and it was stable whilst performing other tasks
couldn't get Mcafee 8.5 enterprise edition to run though (it works on vista)
other than that its fine, i like it...........also really impressed with how stable it is considering its a beta release.

installed on my spare partition to make it dual boot on my Acer aspire 5630 laptop, only thing i had to manually install was the synaptics mouse driver to enable scroll.

windows 7 ultimate (bag of sh*t)
just downloaded and installed a beta version of the new windows 7 ultimate, tbh it seems exactly the same as vista but worse. it installed problem free but none of my devices work with it and when i installed norton 360 beta for windows 7 it just froze. i think ill be sticking to xp as windows 7 is looking like a big failure just like vista
any1 else installed it??

TBH you fail... Not Windows 7.
PS = Did you not notice the Technology section where this was discussed, at length, weeks ago?!?!?

Re: windows 7 ultimate (bag of sh*t)
You clearly have no idea... I'm still using it, 1 or 2 very minor issues but nothing serious. Certainly a vast improvement on Vista, dare I say almost as good, and stable as XP?! I'll be switching back to Vista next week, but only as I was only having a play with 7.

Seriously m8. Unscrewing your petrol cap and emptying a bag of Tate & Lyle's finest in there, will do less damage than 'installing' Norton onto any PC.
Even people I don't like - I tell them not to bother with Norton.

Re: windows 7 ultimate (bag of sh*t)
nope i didnt, what do you mean i fail?????
i do have an idea you should be able to install an os and not have to f**k about with it trying to get all of your stuff to work with it, with xp you install it and it works, i know windows 7 is a beta at the moment but it looks really s**t as well
ye norton breaks anything its installed on, it stops bitcomet downloading anything and just generally breaks all the time.

Definition: A beta test is a limited release of a product with a goal of finding bugs before the final release. Software testing is often referred to by the terms "alpha" and "beta."
Generally speaking, the alpha test is an internal test to find bugs, and the beta test is an external test. During the alpha phase, the product is opened up to employees of the company and, sometimes, friends and family. During the beta phase, the product is opened up to a limited number of customers.
Sometimes, beta tests are referred to as "open" or "closed". A closed beta test has a limited number of spots open for testing, while an open beta has either an unlimited number of spots (i.e. anyone who wants to can participate) or a very large number of spots in cases where opening it up to everyone is impractical.
its still annoyin and poo!! (like vista)

Windows 7 is brilliant imo. I've been using it more and more since it was first released.
Not perfect! (feedback has been sent) but it has massive potential. I really think it will be the next XP in terms of popularity.
As said, Norton is severely rubbish, always has been. AVG works with W7 so maybe give that a go instead if you want something free.
People are too quick to judge sometimes "Oh feck I can't use it, it's crap" "Oh it looks a bit like Vista, therefore it is crap"
Anyway, XP is out of date, I wish people would stop shagging it! It's like shagging your grandmother tbh
