I'm disappointed to hear that my quadcore packs more juice than software today can squeeze out of, but now this might be reason enough for me to upgrade to Vienna.

I'm disappointed aswell, Vista and XP can do better in pulling out the full performence of a processor. I had a zd8000 a few years ago with Windows XP MCE 2005 on it. i decided to beta test Windows Vista on it. When I did, Vista took its Hyperthreading processor and took more advantage of it than XP did. now that i'm running a PC with a dual-cure processor, Vista is not doing as well with it and this new notebook PC is like 10 times better than that one. I also ran Vista with a single-core processor laptop from back in the day and vista used its processor resources better than my dual-core processor tc4400. how can vista run better on a zd8000 and a armada e700 than on a modern day PC? can someone answer that for me. of course when i ran vista on the armada e700 it was running on minimum specs, except for that the hard drive and the video card was upgraded, plus it was using an external wireless card.

Alot of that has to do with the fact that alot ot the retail Vista's out there(i mean like from Hp Dell and so forth) Are pack full of so much junk it's best to wipe everything and reinstall from scratch... I thought the same thing on my New Compaq laptop untill i did a freash install of vista and found out that it it like 10 times faster that what Hp put on it

and HP is especially well known for the useless software that they shove down your throat with any desktop or laptop... when I got my tx2500z tablet pc, I asked geeksquad to clear all that useless software, and it was so much better in terms of performance...

Nice.

Good news.

so it's not gonna be like Vista?

so it's not gonna be like Vista?

having useless squad, i mean geek squad, do anything to a computer is just as good as walking down the street and handing someone money and saying, hey take this for no reason. save money and do it yourself rather than giving money to people that have, at most, A certification and couldn't tell you what Linux was if their lives depended on it.

Excellent
very very Good

Still need to wait further windows to really utilize parallel processing.

This release could be done sooo much faster if MS wasn't so worried about future revenue stream and endless licensing.

I have been using XP-64 Pro for about a year now Quad core Intel Q6600, ASUS MB, 1GB Asus Video, 8GB Ram etc. etc. and it is still a dog except for select apps. (games primarilly).

Drivers remain unavailable for 64-bit (Canon printers especially) and software is abysmal. Try to find a good 64-bit browser! Yahoo is going broke, Google doesn't support it and MS is screwing you down with new windowed ad pages! They really need the money!

Too bad Linux is such a geek portal but it looks like the only hope for the future of 64-bit OS's.

I can actually confirm that Windows 7 includes parallel-procesing enhancements - they break Prime95's torture test! Apparently Windows 7 tries to "break up" CPU utilization between the different cores (I have a Q6600), and this interferes with Prime95's ability to explicitly target each core with its own thread. As a result, the load on the different cores is uneven. Hope that they will short this out in the final version.

How about MACH ? We need a true parallel O.S. and parallel language with parallel algorithm.

Windows 7 works well on a Virtual machine with 1 GB of RAM. So ya... it is doing good so far. I also feel they need to change the GUI a bit, to much Vista.

Yes, is vista with more marketing pack...

Great! annother Inoperating (and expensive) System, i had vista, but my linux erase the partition intentionally... I enjoyed that. The best products that microsoft did are: w2000 (wormable) and xp. Please, re read the source code of this, or copy a MACH kernel, or work!

RICKROLLED!

give me my windows

I am disappointed in this costly turn of events.
Yet another OS needed to take full advantage of Quad Core technology I have been using for over a year.

Make no mistake Vista-64 has been a real improvement over XP-64.
Better driver support and more seamless interface with better large memory support.
But I feel sort of used; needing to purchase "7" to take full advantage of Quad-Core technology that has been available for some time now. Why not "patch" better Quad-Core support to Vista 64 or offer existing users a discounted upgrade for loyalty sake. I'm just saying...

It's the economy ******! That really frosts me.

Where can I learn more about Linux development in Parallel ? Anybody heard Linux-128 ?

Fucke ME!!!!
