Hello, I've been using ubuntu linux as my only operating system for almost a year. The only reason I've been tempted to pick up windows again is for gaming. I heard good things about windows7, and went ahead an grabbed it.
in windows, I've been getting blue screen errors and application crashes and haults.
before people start pointing to hardware, i need to note that this system has been extremely stable on linux distributions of all shapes and colors, and windows xp a while back. No system hangs/crashes/hiccups.
What is going on here? how does a free OS have great support when a $200 causes at least 5 blue screens with reboots a day?
I'm using no beta drivers on my hardware, and all up to date and obviously developed for windows 7. ideas? anyone?
on another note, even installing was a trip. I had to unplug all additional hardware and disable my USB controller to get the installer to run without freezing. makes me wanna throw it back in microsofts face
