hello,when win7 came out everybody was happy,maybe because they had win vista. I have tried win 7 sense it came out,the more I use it the more i hate it,it will not remember my wireless ip or dns.or my sound driver,every time I boot it loads the drivers again ,I have to type in the ips and dns every time I reboot.I run a duel boot sys.with winxp and win7, no problem with win xp but win7 seems to be a bit faster than xp. is anyone else having the same problems?or problems other than that, what is the opinions of nonags members,good are bad?having said that I do not see a choice, unless some body comes with a new os which is unlikely , at least in our lifetime, microsoft is going down hill fast,take for example win7 starter edition which shows microsofts greed. the programmers at microsoft as been brainwashed to find the way to satisfy bill gates and top people at ms, .not for the user. please respond to this post I am hoping to see a answer or a new prescriptive on this also it will not read my dvd ram drive win xp no problem,p4 at 3.16 gigabytes 1 gig memory I know I need more memory,however budget constrains prohibit this. thanks Stan
