The Official Computer Tech Support Thread

So, what about that Windows 7, is it worth getting? My computer just arrived and I'm wondering what OS I should steal to put in it...

I've already put the 32bit Vista to download but if the W7 is better, speak now or...!

Windows 7 is everything vista should have been.
It's faster and more reliable.
Get it!

No shit. So no problems with driver support? 64 or 32 bit?

Not as far as I'm aware. A couple of computer geeks at work have windows 7 already and they swear it's faster than XP.
Don't even consider vista.

Point is...it's a waste of time getting vista cos it's slower than XP and less reliable with compatability issues. Vista is a step backwards IMO.
7 is the next step up. And if it's better than XP...

I'd go with 32 bit. Why ask for trouble!

When I make a spelling mistake and press backspace my Firefox goes back a page and I lose what I'm writing, it never used to do this, and it's really pissing me off. Help me

?
