Anyone here running 32bit? I need someone to test compatibility out.
Download and install EAC (Exact Audio Copy). Once installed run and go to EAC Options. Change the language to Russian. Tell me if it is all in typical Russian Cyrillic or if it pretty much looks like ed up Latin based characters.
Reason I need this, is because I am running Win7 64bit (final build for those nerds) and it appears to fail miserably in this aspect. |

dude i swear to god i was going to make a thread about windows 7 a sec ago, then decided to post in the tech forum, then decided not post at all (have you seen the tech forum lately?)
is it worth getting, or should i stick with vista? i'm worried about dicking around with reinstalling drivers and program compatibility. i.e. i want all my DAWs and VSTs to work |

Im really conservative when it comes to OS upgrades, but I have two mates that are more highly skilled in the PC arena and they both swear 7 is full of awesome. I guess it really depends on how many older devices/programs you’re gonna be using. I tend to find a program that works, and then use it for the next decade. I still have winamp 3 or something!
Unless there is a desperate need to upgrade then id wait for all the kinks/drivers to be ironed out. |

I have gotten multiple people to switch from XP to Win7 and they both are actually very happy. Stu (Sushipunk) and Chris (mezzir). Chris uses a bunch of production stuffs and has had no issues aside from his sound interface with drivers. I forget how he got it fixed though. Otherwise, he uses it full time and that is the RC.
I have been on the final RTM build for about 2 months. This is the FIRST issue I have had with it. Which seems to quite possibly be a wow32 emulation issue.
pkc: LOL :mad: er :p

Win7 is MUCH better with drivers than vista, but you also shouldn't run anything more than 2-3 years old with Win7. |

thanks for the info, in that case i'll probably just wait.
i'm especially worried about having to re-point my DAW in the right direction for all of my sample and project directories, that's always a pain. |

that's precisely what i'm worried about, i don't want the hassle.
and XP to win7 is a no-brainer, XP is pretty outdated imo |

Yeah it took him and I 2-3 days of ing around to get on the right track, but he finally found some forum that had a way to get it working properly. |

D3d runs a lot better since Win7 uses less resources than Vista. Or so I have heard. I haven't run any games yet. lol |

I've been running this since the beta version; Drivers for this bitch are lame as ; they are dependent upon windows xp or some ; I doubt windows 7 is even going to be worth the money;
Just download ubuntu or a linux flavor distro; like Debian . . .forget anything in this world that costs a monetary value to purchase.
The only reason I got windows 7 is because it is was a download that one did not have to pay for.
Past that screw windows if you have to pay any penny for utilizing something that should be free at this point in our highly advanced society. |
