vista works perfectly now. i really feel no incentive to buy the upgrade called windows 7

they are always improving.kudos

I like Window 7.

hi guys am new to computer so pardon me. my engineer formatted my my hard drive so i lost everything, but my sound, wireless, lan card, touch pad in short everything are not working again. pls where can i get the driver 2 reinstall? my brand is: SONY VAIO, model: VGN-BX51XP. pls guys i need ur help.

@Oyb,

I have followed your arguments with 4llerbuntu guy and I am glad finally you guys hv decided to leave the Fan Boy ish and get down to pointing functionalities of both Linux & Windows. Honestly I think its a matter of choice, alot of people think Benz is the best ride out there, while others wont buy anything that isn't made by BMW! lol!

IMHO, Windows works right out of the box. I have used all versions of windows staring from Win95. I have run alot of Linux OS ranging from Live CDs of Knoppix, Ubuntu, Mandriva etc but that was back then when i was in school and had so much time to tinker around, right now i need what just works and I am sticking my guns with Windows.

My Dell XPS M1530 machine is running a Windows Ultimate, and I am totally loving it. I think the OS has got the makeover eye-candy looks of Vista combined with the trusted workability of XP. Infact I am loving the smooth and fluid flow of the OS on my machine and I have got no issues whatsoever of usage for over 2 months now and i am a heavy user too! (making sure i get the updates from windows).  I am not here to advocate for any body, i am just saying work works and makes me happy! Windows 7 just works for moi!

Nb: Oyb, i think you should check out this little tool called connectify-me. What it does is literally Turn your Windows 7 laptop into a WiFi hotspot to share the Internet with friends, co-workers, and mobile devices. I mean real WIFi network and not AD-HOC like you had on prior OS, a lot of devices cannot connect to AD-HOC mode like a PS3, but win7 has the ability for you to do this, but its kinda hidden so this app makes it all possible. give it a shot: http://www.connectify.me/

I am in full support of constructive criticism, it always brings out the best in us, but let us always learn from each others here on forums like this. I hail.

Windows 7 awaits. I'll upgrade my vista when I get the original cd or pirated, whichever comes first.

@osmaap go to google and search with the model name you should get a link to download the required drivers, and beside i should not have answered you as this is not where you are supposed to post that request. Anyway enjoy

i ,m still amazed ,i can,t wait to get my copy

Windows 7 is not bad though. I dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Vista/Windows 7

I'm keeping shitty old crappy Vista Business cos of my over 100 installed application(z).

And the beefed up youtube links, the Microsoft Sponsored Anti-MAC, Anti-Linux campaign, guys claiming "Nothing good came out of open source!"

If nothing, Dynamips, Gimp, Open Office, Audacity, and Komposer but to mention a few are free software on Linux and in some cases, with an x86/64-bit equivalent.

Windows 7 is a good OS, but that's not to say free-ass Ubuntu is crap. I should say, Ubuntu, though "user-friendly nowadays" has never been for dummies.

And talk about drivers, Ubuntu 9.10 has almost all the drivers needed to get a modern laptop running - I'm a witness!

@ Mod
Please why is my posts getting deleted?

i like it, used it, its ok but still heavy

@ chuckdee: no mind this people. E be like say them no understand freedom of speech. naija people!

who cares about windows.

i have gone mac and will never go back. All windows OS past and future suck !!

my,
@oyb,am really impressed by ur responses,
i havent tried linux so wouldnt wanna conclude but so far have been on Win7 for like 3months and i would say its better considering many problems vista gave.easy to navigate,not too much paparazzi like vista,simple n cool.I recommend EVERYONE on vista to upgrade without delay.

@semid,
oga its just a friendly gesture o.you dont have to experience any problem with it before UPGRADING to the latest version which is Win7.i didnt before i upgraded.but you know i cant tell you something aint reallll, lol.With Win7 you get value for your RAM as it consumes less graphical resources.all the same thanks for the compliment wish you the same.

If it works OK on VISTA,then it will work BETTER on Win7.

@Poster, I hated it with a passion when I 1st got my new lappy last  week.

I had a mate come over and he removed some of the security that was installed so just using the micro one and AGV. It now runs like a dream .

4llerbuntu, Dis your mouth. Chicken the Insurance company sent me this Wonderful replacement.

You are correct about the other one, only 15 months old so looks like new. Had diagnostics equipment on it, all that was wrong was the ram, which I replaced, cost me only 20 quid. The fan you told me about was also fine, just spinning so fast that I could not see said going around.

Hey u, I saw what you said on your last post, you are bad, let me catch you sha, I will give you HELL NO.

mad luvvy, wats up witcha? havin all that fun witout ur boi. hw far wit that bloke naw? that one u were so shamelessly batting ur eyes at? (u told me urself o! b4 u start forming not knowing)

But Windows 7 does have some pretty pictures

Eh? lol, na wetin u sef dey do b4 the thing crash? ehn?

the thing was too engrossed in staring at you to remember 2 work correctly, start using a veil and the pc will behave beta, or worse depending. cos it might be pissed off the best sight he sees daily is being taken away!!!!!!

Morning Chicken,you going to help me sha?


I cannot get my pics to load from my digi cam, keeps telling me no new photos can be found, I have deleted and emptied my recycle bin, so what the thing want me to do.

give it a kiss and a sultry wink!! would work for me all the time

wattya mean chicken? u berra start recognising pple!!!, in this barnyard am the big bad cockerel!!!! cock-a-doodle-dooooooooooo!!!!!!


ok so wats wong with ur cam? i dunno o. wat did u do to it. switch it off remove the mem card, put it back in and switch it on back. if the is any button u need to press before hookin it up, berra press it asap. then plug it back in (hmmmn, brings bad thots, really bad thots) and see again

Ok , I  will  change my pet name for you. BABY, it's not my camera, it's the dang Windows 7.

I will do all you have said "baby" if it does not work will have to shoot new pics, no biggy but just a waste of time.


Are you ok with "Baby" I am not calling you no cockerel

baby, hmmmn, that not bad! not bad at all

or big bad wolf!!! just kidding.

hmmmn, i dislike pc and hardware that do not obey. ok lemme see, i really dont use the dang things so aint too firm on what could be wrong, but if ur laptop has a card reader u can remove the card from the camera and put in the laptop and see that way it should work.

pics cannot be re created u know!

Cheers baby, will follow instructions. I better get back to work.

Have a good day.
