It runs surprisingly well even on my laptop with "only" 1 GB of RAM.

I did notice more HDD activity at idle times but I'm quite surprised that it doesn't impair work as much as it does on Vista. So yes, if XP runs well on your computer, 7 should run acceptable I guess.

Applocale has the biggest problems with the UAC system so just turn it off when you're installing it. Else you can juse set unicode to japs.

>>2621945
On a x64 system you get a folder called Program Files (x86), you dont have to install shit into this folder but basically all x64 bit systems can perfectly emulate x86(32bit) system without any performance loss. So yes all your 32 bit software will run without a problem on x64 systems. If you have the option of installing the x64 version of the software do it. Usually software that has x64 version has issues with emulation thats why they make x64 version that software or they want to specifically make use of the 64bits, anyways for the normal customer there no difference except the maxed out ram.

TL;DR All 32bit software works on 64bit system. You should always download x64 version if available.

Yes Win7 Setup takes a FUCKING LONG TIME TO COMPLETE, i restarted my machine too once on the first try. But after a while you figure out it's normal. It probably takes so long because once you install Win7 you pretty much have everything "out of the box" no need to do anything,

I avoided it due to the massacre at work when some guy suggested we moved to 64bit XP.

I'll give W7 64 a shot in a bit. Now you've made me curious.

win vista installed in like what, 10 mins? on my pc

7 needed like half an hour

[Anonymous No.]

>>2622536
Hmm odd, it took like 10-15 mins in VMware fusion and even less on a live production machine (Optiplex 755)

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

>>2622540
Well I too always avoided x64 because I remember x64 had massive problems once it came years ago, but I was irradiated at how i need to use the 36bit hack on vista and xp to get my 4gb of ram working so thats why i tried x64 this time and I'm surprised at how well win7 works with 32bit application, so far not a single problem. So yeah I'd actually recommend x64 this time, also korean shit gameguard works only on x64 as far as I know.

[Anonymous of Bangkok No.]

What if i only have 2gb of ram?
Worth switching to x64?

Dont know it took me an hour to install

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

>>2622567
Technically you have no use for x64 if you don't have at least 4 gigs of ram.
>>2622556
Did you update or do a fresh install? Did you format etc?

This was originally supposed to be the OS-tan. Isn't she a cute loli?

>>2622028
At first I got the same problem as you.
I found the solution after googling around.
Just run cmd as adminstrator
Then run apploc.msi on cmd prompt.

>>2622743
That was the first thing I did. Didn't work. Sucks to be me.

>>2622752
I had some problem too, but never remembered what was the solution. Did yo try running in vista compatibility mode?

[Anonymous of Croatia !na1byG1GU. No.]

>>2622752
You did disable UAC right?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2622768
This is probably a symptom of running it in VMware but all I get is previous operating system as my only choice in compatibility mode.

[Andrey O. No.]

>>2622768
Ah, wait, no. I remember now. UAC was not as annoying on 7 as on vista so I just forgot to turn that off. Make sure you have UAC disabled (doing this silly Run As Admin thing didn't help).

One question, how come Windows 7 is slower than XP? Is there any chance Windows 7 will be faster than XP by the time it gets released.

And is it just me or does Vista's GUI look a lot better than Windows 7. Those giant transparent boxes on Windows 7's taskbar looks awkward in comparison to Vista's nicely integrated taskbar. I wonder if that's Window 7's final GUI.

Let's get some OS-tan up ins.

I love it how we always use the OS-tans as an excuse to discuss /g/ topics on /jp/. We use to do this all the time back on old /a/.

I guess neo-/a/ must hate us for taking their OS-tans. Now they can no longer have OS circlejerks.

OP here. I really intended this thread about posting loli Windows7 art.

[Andrey O. No.]

>>2623011
How do you define slower. What tests did you conduct. God, writing questions without question marks is so fun, isn't it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2623391
I'm only commenting on what I heard. Some say Vista is slower than XP, yet I've never noticed a difference between them.

If multiple tech blogs claim XP is faster than Windows 7 then I can only take their word for it.

Keep in mind that this' just a beta.
I've heard (never tried it myself) that XP's beta was terrible.
