Microsoft to ship Windows 7 Oct 22nd, 2009

http://www.informationweek.com/news...subSection=News

Seems Microsoft is readying this for the holiday season (this year) From what I've heard and read people who have used the beta seem to like it so I might have to give it a go with the RC1. Anyone else looking at making this their Windows XP replacement? After my experience with Vista I hope this as good as they say it is. Anyone ever used it for gaming? That would be my main concern as most of my system are gaming systems.

One of the kids has used this for gaming for three months and has had no problems.Best thing is it comes with all the latest video card drivers it also finds and installs drivers from online.Been using it myself for a couple of months on my pc and laptop now with no problems whatsoever .Nearly forgot to say its better than xp and pisses all over vista.

I've had it installed on my HTPC for a couple of months as a beta. Removed that and installed the RC over the weekend. It tunes up far nicer than vista for the same purpose and as a result is faster and less intense on the CPU leaving me plenty of cycles to play 1080 video with no break in sync.

Oh, and it looks pretty too.

I've been using the 64bit ultimate version on my laptop for the past few months.is a major step forward from vista and will be using it as my main OS once its released.

ive put pretty much every new version of it (64bit) on my core i7 rig and have yet to have a driver issue. Even in AHCI mode I didnt have to pop in my driver disc at all. Been quite impressed although I never actually used vista for more than minutes.
