Re: Windows 7 is cack!
Sounds like your PC is full of rubbish to me. Do yourself a favour and do a clean install.

Re: Windows 7 is cack!
You have seen the code, eh? Microsoft has really fooled us all, eh?
The only thing you really need is to blame Microsoft (and by the way, his name is Ballmer -- I am guessing you probably didn't know that) for the "faked" TV pictures from the moon.
Whether or not you like Microsoft I really don't care. I for one was ready to help out, but with this attitude, you're on your own from my perspective.
Probably a good idea. Take up knitting...Thanks,

Re: Windows 7 is cack!
Windows 7 is not perfect ( i'm running 64 bit Ultimate ). i.e It would not let me set a resolution of 1680x1050 even with the latest drivers and some scenery would not load without using win 98 compatibility mode.
But with some patience and help from various forums these problems were resolved and it is now working very well with FSX and seems really stable.
Had to laugh that because of your windows problms you were going to install Linux. I have been using Linux for years now and agree its a great operating system but think you will struggle with it if you cant get windows 7 installed.
To conclude: Windows 7 is a great upgrade and seems as stable and responsive as the WinXP 64 bit I was running before with the added bonus that I can now use DirectX 10Dave Ault

Re: Windows 7 is cack!
Ok folks
Let me explain
The quad core which was running FSX had a brand new clean install. Everything was loaded properly. There is nothing on this PC other than:
FSX
FSupic (registered)
Serial FP2 for VR insight gear
VOX atc
FSXpand v 5.8
Level D 767 + repaint Manager
That's all that is on it. Surely folks can see that this is so frustrating and disappointing after I had everything all working properly (after a couple of months sorting problems with networks etc). And yes, I can get at the code and can assure you all Win 7 is no more than a service pack (expensive one too) to Vista. If anyone is getting better frame rates it won't be because of Win 7.

We have Microsoft in Cambridge near me and I have many friends there, so please dont patronise me when I have genuinely seen this code and it is 98% Vista. I am just telling as is.

Re: Windows 7 is cack!
[QUOTE=TasKiNG;91678]Hi
I don't really want to get dragged into this. If you don't wish to believe what I am saying then I respect your opinion, but please respect mine too. There are many comparator programs for code assembly. Try it for yourself. Windows 7 is clearly marked in the code as to which part is which in *rem* statements.
If you are happy with it then I am pleased for you - I am not.
Regards
Richard

Re: Windows 7 is cack!
I didn't actually say I didn't believe you and with a thread title of "Windows 7 is Cack!" then you can expect a little sarcasm from users who really like it and have found it to be a lot better than Vista.
If you do have some insider knowlege of the Improvements / additions that have gone into writing Windows 7 then I am genuinely interested to know what they are.
CheersDave Ault

Re: Windows 7 is cack!
I am not. You do that all by yourself. You honestly expect me to believe that your friends in Microsoft in Cambridge are risking their jobs by showing you source code for Windows7? I am just wondering what your friends are doing at Microsoft in Cambridge.
I personally don't think anybody is disrespecting your opinion -- I think people are disrespecting your stated facts. When I read statements like this:
I am wondering what on earth you're talking about: What exactly is it you have and want us to compare?
But, then again, you could be right. I think you should go with another OS, another flight simulator, maybe even scrap all that says Microsoft on it. Report back, please, when you have things working as smoothly as with Window7 and FSX.Thanks,
Boaz

Re: Windows 7 is cack!
As a developper myself, I truly wonder how come someone who can understand/write assembly code cannot get win7 to work correctly, no offense meant... but it's actually the easier installation for an MS OS since, well since maybe DOS when you only had to boot from a floppy...
