“waste of money”
Written on: 24/01/2013
do not get a windows 7 computer they are the worst things on the planet, they are a rip off, they lack too many features, they are slow, terrible for storing music, administrators are a stupid idea, they are complicating to use no photo storage, you can not do anything personal on them, the advert said it was good, they were wrong, bad charging, they are big and chunky, i cannot get internet from 5 meters away but i can get it from the whole way around the house with my mac, they take a long...

“Absolute rip off. You are paying for a GUI, that is all”
Written on: 24/08/2012 by joeC92 (4 reviews written)
Whoever thinks £70 for an operating system is a fair price is bonkers. £70 covers one license for one computer. If you're computer breaks and you need to get a new one, you need to get a new version of Windows 7 at £70 too. And there are so many other things about Windows 7 that are just downright annoying. Here's some: - Windows 7 continuously uses up some of your bandwidth to export usage statistics and other personal information away to their central databases. This is creepy. - When... (read more)
“Great Value for money”
Written on: 03/08/2012 by MrRoche (3 reviews written)
Firstly we all know that Apples OS X is a lot better than windows 7 for a lot of things but not everyone can afford it which is why I bought a laptop with Windows 7 64-bit installed. I wasn't expecting to much difference from it's predecessor Windows Vista but the changes were mostly good like the bottom bar which you can pin things onto (I think this was updated from a newer version of Windows vista) but I think that that windows seems to take up more RAM which with a laptop can be quite a...

“Windows Vista Supercharged!!!”
Written on: 02/06/2012 by sandersj80 (3 reviews written)
Yes, the title says it all. When you first view it like most of us have done already, your first thoughts are something along the lines of "a repeat of Vista." However, in my opinion, I must say that looks can be deceiving. Windows 7 offers many new features that havent been seen in previous versions as well as the heightened security features that allows users to feel more comfortable with this software. As with any new software, you will run into flaws but from my experiences, I can safely... (read more)

Windows 7 is a huge step forward. I have been using Wondows XP for 4 years and now I successfully replaced it with Win 7 and I feel more comfortable working with it. So highly recommended if you like new things to try. (read more)

Written on: 09/12/2010 by sdobbie (5 reviews written)
Yet another one of Microsofts unfinished operating systems. The only advantage of windows is it's wide compatibility with just about anything but there are still many software faults which are just too numerous to mention in this review. Bill gates needs to get a grip and start realising the meaning of quality. (read more)

Written on: 25/09/2010 by naroomatechedu (26 reviews written)
I'm afraid that the hype and marketing are a little carried away here. About the best this is that it's not Vista, though if you get a better look it really is Vista with the worst bits patched up. Then again Vista felt like a beta anyway and was too much for the hardware of the day. 7 has the benfit of faster hardware, better driver support and newer software being written for it, but it still has rough edges and many older devices and software will not work with it. It also lacks and... (read more)

Written on: 15/08/2010 by ReeceBlack (12 reviews written)
Windows 7 seems to address many of the complaints people had about the excruciatingly bad Windows Vista, while keeping a very similar interface. This is a step in the right direction, and the ease at which it installs and sets itself up was a pleasant suprise. Things like networking, email setup and user accounts are spot on, and the niggling account permission issues are less prominent than in Vista.
Speed-wise, if your PC can run vista without any problems, then Windows 7 won't be any...

Written on: 22/06/2010 by boroboyben (25 reviews written)
I have always been open to using new operating systems and Windows 7 was no exception. I've used Windows Vista Home premium and I could use that easily and there was never a problem. My pc fails and I need a laptop for my work, so I spent £450.00 on a brand new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium pre-installed. When I first booted up my laptop I was impressed smart, clean and sleek look Operating System. Now two months on I cannot stand Windows 7 It's the messiest, most unpleasant Operating... (read more)

Written on: 17/02/2010 by vickidavies (14 reviews written)
People have been falling over each other to proclaim how much better windows 7 is than Vista Even Microsoft's. This groundswell of positivity is both encouraging and suspicious. Encouraging because it indicates that Microsoft is probably onto a good thing; suspicious because there's plenty of vested interest in Windows 7 being a success.Windows 7 really, really needs to be a success. I would say that the success of windows 7 is down to the people who are infact using the software and not... (read more)

Written on: 31/01/2010
Everyone had to accept Windows Vista was a complete failure, even Bill Gates says this himself. This new OS however is beyond a failure it's so intuitive and still has the cosmetic appeal of Vista, but without the issues. I like the little features like the snap feature which allow you look at two documents side by side and the way the computer almost makes you feel that you are using a Mac and not a PC. It's simple to use, the software issues have gone and it is generally faster and easy to... (read more)

Written on: 05/12/2009
Windows 7 has given me many problems. The reason is that it is not yet compatitable with many outside applications. I can do the things in my previous XP, but not in my Windows 7, 64 bits. My problems have been elevated even to the research team in Microsoft in India and I am afraid this is the real situation at the moment. 32 bits will be doing fine, but the system of 64 is causing problems.

Since I began using Windows 7 in beta forms I was impressed instantly with the OS. Since it's release I've been using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit version in which I won in a contest. It's been absolutely brilliant compared to all the previous Microsoft OS releases. The set up time was about 12 minutes from format to desktop. Once at the desktop I had no issues with installing drivers and software that I use. I actually found some of my older programs which would not run in Vista ran perfectly... (read more)

Well what can i say this has got to be the best Microsoft has ever done.
They have really pulled out all the stops on Windows 7 i have been Beta testing from the very start and upgrading as the different versions have come along. Using it on my main computer with no problem, Yes there are still a few issues to be sorted drivers for instance but Microsoft are really giving it there best this time and even though in the past i wouldn't have said this. I really will be getting this op system.

Written on: 17/01/2009
Hard to find drivers will not install unlicensed ones, explorer 8 64 bit does not have adobe flash support start menu takes a little getting used to. Currently using Windows 7, build 7000. Fantastic desktop ability to slide show backgrounds, pin programs to toolbar, more stable than vista. Using 64xbit edition a lot faster and a lot better to use. Have to spend too much time altering program permissions to install things like tv cards. If you choose this operating system make sure your... (read more)
