George Simmons Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 What??? A Windows version without bugs crawling out from every application? What's this world coming to???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iresq Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Relax George. Most of the bugs are not introduced until after beta testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Thanks Dave. For a while I was worried that I'd been transported into a mirror universe or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponddude Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I am a Mac user normally, but use Vista for the show. When is Windows 7 slated for release, or have they not figured that out yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kr2828 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share Posted January 13, 2009 I was referring to LOR2 runs on Window7. Just to be clear. As far as Windows 7 goes... Its a stripped down version of Vista if you ask me. But I've had good luck with Vista since Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWSanta Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I wouldn't run anything more than XP on my LOR Show. I know it works and it's all been tested but, Vista is just such a resource pig...Just my 2 Cents worth.-Evan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richarsenault Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm running Windows 7 fulltime on my Laptop and love it. LOR 2.1.6 works fine without any know issues(so far). I still run XP on my show machine and probably will for years. Plus I'm still using tons of x10 to control every outlet at the panel and nobody does a good job with drivers for that...Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bboyink Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I'm also a Mac person but I have to say Microsoft may actually get this one right. Don't get me wrong it's not OSX but it's a LOT better then Vista.In fact I'm having far less issues with Windows 7 then I had with XP. All of my strange refresh and playback issues went away.

Bubba in NV Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 No problems with Win 7 beta. Of course Win 7 is a stripped down version. They NEVER put everything in a beta version.ALL of my computers love Win 7, and I have never had problems with Vista. But after I create my shows I run them on an old HP desktop with win 2000 loacted out in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponddude Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 I heard that Windows 7 is purely Vista, minus the bugs and with a face lift. If that is the case, I'm sure the bugs will be added after the Beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba in NV Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Actually Win 7 is not remotley the same OS as Vista other than the name starts with Windows. Much better, less resources, faster, does not crash ( but none of my Vista machines crash either, anI love Vista too) it is what Vista should have been. One of my laptops hates Vista, but it loves WIn7. I will get it when it is released. The Beta is fine, but there are a lot of normal windows programs not included on beta releases. I had to download and install several of the regular windows programs from Microsoft. Also it did not come with any email client. I had to install one.

I tried 7 on a compac with a 2.6mhz pentium, with 2 gigs, and had nothing but problems. Could not get any video or sound drivers to work.

(This helps many net books.)Really if you consider the fact that the requirements are the same as vista which came out, and all the advances over the last three years.Any computer purchased in the year ~2001 or later, with a ram upgrade should be able to run things just fine.All computers (that are not netbooks) available in stores today, will run windows 7)(some might need ram.)Windows 7 Beta recommendation: 1 GHz 32-bit or 64-bit processor 1 GB of system memory 16 GB of available disk space Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128 MB memory (to enable the Aero theme) DVD-R/W Drive Internet access Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
