If it’s Tuesday, this must be Windows 7 by Frank "Dart" Giger "Usually I wind up switching an OS because of something far less esoteric but not quite logical. guod asked me to do a little write up of my experiences when I mentioned that I was migrating from Vista to Win 7 after I revealed to him some of my upgrade mentality. He figured it would be good for a laugh, or two."http://www.simhq.com/_technology3/technology_180a.html

That brought back some memories, and some rummaging through boxes to find all of the old software.
The one ironic thing I found with your article was the choice of ROF as a pic. Was this intentional? I ask because I cannot run ROF because of the stutters and the company's response is..."we do not support Windows 7".
Thanks!

Actually, the problem with RoF and Win7 is with dual core processors. With quad core it works great.
More largely, guod was poking some fun at my huge RoF AAR's.

It might.
I wasn't struck by any major stuttering, but a lot of folks were.

"Might", when it's a bad outcome, usually means Yes Jeevz, it will happen to you.
Maybe I'll do a dual boot.

I remember being dragged kicking to switch to XP from SE.
And now you tell me that MS has made something newer! I am always the last to find out. Will have to check it out....next computer.
