FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2009 The Windows 7 Release Candidate has now been released and I have installed it but I can't boot it at the moment (partitioning issues). I did use it for a few hours this morning and it was great. In addition to the new appearance features (desktop slide shows, etc), I find that it detected all my hardware and they worked properly without any driver installations, except for the very old HP DeskJet 656C. It really saved me time and bandwidth to automatically detect all my hardware correctly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â that's good ... the only drivers I had to install was my graphics card since the other drivers that were required were generic ones. Â Then I just installed the drivers just to update it.

darasen 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2009 I just put Windows 7 on a friends machine and was pleasantly surprised by the result. I liked how I was able to add his wireless NIC and Windows instantly added the BroadCom drivers (its chipset), a couple clicks and a password he was on our network. I actually like the taskbar. It is different but i think there is a functionality improvement there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
