Witam. Jak wygląda sprawa od strony użytkowników jeżeli chodzi o stare konfiguracje sprzętowe. Napiszcie w ty temacie jakie konfiguracje obsłużą Windows 7. PS. Stare komputery to takie przed wyjściem Windows 7 czyli do 2009 roku. Im więcej wstawicie tym lepiej.

Link Removed was a relatively short chat with me about C++0x. You wanted more questions asked and some of you thought I was just too soft on Herb. Well, Herb decided that the best way to get the questions you want asked is, well, to have you ask them. Most of the highest user-rated questions...

It's kind of hard to compare Mac OS X Lion to Windows 8, mainly because, well, while we now know a fair amount about Lion, we essentially know only two things about Windows 8: that it exists and that it has a tablet-friendly overlay as its main interface. Link Removed

Boris Jabes is fun guy to talk to about C++. He has the distinction of being the first guy to share the news about the removal of C++/CLI intellisense support in VC10. He also has a great perspective on why the decision was made and understands the complexity of intellisense projects and complex...

First off, I am posting this question here because I cannot find another forum that appears to be of any help. Please let me know if there is a better place w/in Windows 7 Forums to post it. My question is, I want to know how to set up a second email address within my existing Outlook...

The chief executive officer and founder of Dell, the world’s third largest supplier of personal computers, said that although netbooks appear to be pretty popular among end-users, many people eventually get disappointed with small screens, inconvenient keyboards and other peculiarities of...

All right don't flame me for my ignorance here. I am currently dual booting. I have access to my vista drive through windows seven. I am noticing that they are set up very similar in terms of the files. I am wondering if it's possible to replace some of the vista files with files from windows...

I have an 8gb machine (memory) and it runs without a hitch. Were the problems cleared during the sp1? I have windows 7 on other and I find both to be very similar except for the taskbar and some networking features. Are these past vista complaints or is there a valid reason? Windows 7 is nice...

Assuming I understand this correctly that Microsoft is not continuing Ultimate Extras in Windows 7, my curious question is why? Unless it's some form of a cost cutting move? So do we now know what will make Windows 7 Ultimate stand out above and beyond the other versions of Windows 7...

Actually I'M now in a bit of a quandary Vista SP2 improves Vista by quite a lot (even though it itself is only in RC1 stage). Could be some interesting politics going on at Microsoft between Vista Development and W7 teams. -- Bit of competition always a good idea. Maybe Vist will be going...

I decided while my PC is disassembled I would upgrade to a larger case with better air flow and cable management. After reading a lot of reviews and also knowing what I wanted, I decided on a Cooler Master HAF 932. Link Removed Now don't get me wrong I love my Raid-Max case but it is too...

So, how much longer do you think microsoft will be able to keep quiet about Windows 7? It's been well over a year since the launch of Windows Vista, and at this time from the launch of Windows XP, Microsoft was talking quite a bit about Longhorn. I sure hope the start talking soon, so that...
