Tried it and wasn't impressed. I'm not sure if it was just driver incompatibilities(used Vista64-bit ones) or maybe DX11 still not being finished but it still didn't run my games nearly as well as XP does. Looks like I'm holding out a few more years yet on my "Out of date" OS.

Hi, Im one of the 5 people who use Vista and really like it  :aok

anyway, Im running vista 64, like anyone im curious about 7, a few questions:

1: do vista64 drivers = 7 drivers   I.E. will my track IR, cougar HOTAS, etc etc all still work?

2: can it be uninstalled without fubaring anything?

3: am i requried to do a clean install I.E. format then reinstall or can I "upgrade" from vista.

1. Apparently there is some trouble with the drivers for the Cougar but I have only seen that posted over in Cougarworld forums and I haven't read too much on it yet.
2 &3 . I would imagine that if you want to uninstall it you can do so easily. I myself have it setup three different ways...one is on a virtual machine and the other a dual boot on my oldest sons computer and I took my old work laptop and formated and installed clean. That way works just as well as XP Pro SP3 for me and as mentioned is only a little larger than the full install of said OS with service pack.

Wing you can do an upgreade and it will por over all your stuff pretty well...
I do deal w/ the spinny clip board unless I have a clean boot in front of runnin AH
The drivers are pretty much all good...
I do notice on OLD stuff it's a pain in the arse...
No Track IR here so I can't say...
But overall I like what I am seeing from a BETA... I mean when XP came out BETA..
TRAIN WRECK...
I am runnin a 64 bit version and must say.... I kinda like it....
But then again I run AMD stuff so I guess I am a nutcase.....
