you should try at least the SP3, i remember the performance boost is around 10%.
Win 7 Ultimate x64 (en) dual boot with 7 Home Premium x86 (jp). i think i agree with the masses that those happy on xp should stay there, at least until support stops. i planned to move daily computing to linux when i upgraded my computer but ubuntu wouldnt run my hardware to my satisfaction. if you want to try 7, why buy what you can take? (i dont recommend upgrading from vista anyway) at least i am off my no-nuts laptop and therefore free from vista.........its a step.
Just curious if you do that for any specific reason. 7 Ultimate comes with all the files necessary for international support, and with Japanese IME and localization set up on my "EN" version, I've encountered no compatability problems with the number of Japanese apps I use.
Is there a specific app that simply won't run (correctly) on anything but JP-only versions of Windows?
to be more exact the japanese/english part was inconsequential. i got x86 (OEM) when i got my computer here in japan and set up everything with that originally. after that i got ultimate x64 and put it on as a dual boot to test/make sure it would run correctly etc. also i have a couple of programs that dont have support on 64 so, to make a short answer long, no. its just the x86/x64 thing, japanese was just the default language.
I added "Multiple OSes" because it's silly to think that people nowadays are limited or restricted to a single OS. I have computers at work, home etc that are of different specs & OSes. It really should have been a multiple choice poll.
Same for me! I would run Linux if it was not for the games!
oh and running Vista SP2 ( no issues since SP2 ) was a joke before the service Pack
The box said windows xp or above, so Linux was the only choice I had.
Have a script to auto-download rapidshare (not with greasymonkey, plain wget), it's light/fast as hell, never had any problems with any codecs, the best thing ever happened to my after my Japanese girlfriend^^.

Actually, you can't keep XP64 in your heart because you don't have the right drivers... :lols:
Seriously, that OS was half-baked at best.
y: They've basically dropped all support for quite some time now.Microsoft still supports XP x64 out of legacy, but the vast majority of 3rd party software and hardware vendors have all but given up on it, and have moved onto Vista and 7 x64. Some people might not need very much by way of specific drivers or programs, but then XP x64 offers little advantage for basic computing over regular XP (or even Vista). Plus, getting 32bit programs to work reliably on XP x64 has been hit-or-miss.
Given that Vista and 7 x64 have significantly more robust (and reliable) support for 64bit (as well running 32bit apps/drivers natively in the OS), there's little reason to stick with XP x64, aside from the hassle of reinstalling the OS (or specific admin or network setups that require XP x64). My vote, in the Windows world, still goes to 7 x64; the vast OS improvements in speed and stability greatly outweigh the 2-3 hours it takes to reinstall the OS.
