Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM

Pros: I've been using Windows since XP, and with the introduction of Windows 8, I felt lost. So when I built my new rig, I decided that I would use Windows 7 and am glad I did. If Microsoft ever realizes that what works on tablets won't necessarily work on PC, then I might buy their newest OS's.

Cons: None.

Pros: win 7 is great

Cons: none

Other Thoughts: I don't like the look of win 8 w 8

Pros: Its the cheapest version and 64 bit. Solid OS.

Cons: Craps out at 16gb of RAM.

I would have liked to know that before I bought it and put 2 weeks worth of work setting up a machine that I can't use the memory on. It's not in the product details.

64bit system should not do this. This is Micro$oft trying to get people to pay more for pro or Ultimate, but FAILING TO COMMUNICATE that this is a LIMITED 64BIT SYSTEM. Now I'm stuck.

Other Thoughts: Newegg is great, but I just want to pound on a Micro$oft geek right now.

Pros: See other thoughts

Cons: See other thoughts

Other Thoughts: As far as the consumer computer market is concerned, you are left to choose between two main competitors for the operating system that occupies your computer: Microsoft, or Apple. Windows 7 is an operating system developed by Microsoft and released to the consumer market in October of 2009. Although Windows 7 does now have a successor, Windows 8, it has been my personal experience that as operating systems age slightly they become more complete. More time to hear complaints, to find weaknesses, and to develop fixes for said problems allow for better system stability and ease of use. Not to say that any OS is free of faults or bugs – because Windows 7 still has it's share of problems – but as far as stable operating systems go: Microsoft performed well with Windows 7.
Connecting multiple devices to a home network, playing games, streaming videos from a home server, and compatibility with different types of programs: Windows 7 is perhaps what the average PC user would expect to be able to get from an OS. Plenty of prompts and wizards guide you through the setup of your own homegroup, which allows PCs all throughout a home to share files amongst one another. PC performance is superior to that of older versions of Windows as Windows 7 makes use of modern hardware including more memory and faster processors – I also don't mind being able to run four monitors, each with a different program!

As a person that has used Windows as an operating system for a number of
years, I must say that Windows 7 has been the best Windows OS by far. Stable, fast, convenient, simple – all of these make Windows 7 a very good OS for those who want powerful computing at their fingertips without having to have extensive computing knowledge or skill.
Regarding other operating systems, OS X (Apple's OS) and Linux, they each have their own place and skills; Macs tend to be better for all things media related and Linux machines are known for their ability to be as flexible as your imagination, but, in my opinion, Windows 7 is truly a solid operating system with enough great features to satisfy the needs of all types of users.

Pros: Way better than Win8 and very fast OS. I am hardcore XP Pro and Linux but I admit this OS is sweet enough for me and I have a 'low end' 64 bit machine. Installs easy too. Win7 even installed the right Nvidia 311 drivers. No mobo drivers disc needed but will have to install the realtek HD audio for rear speakers. Very nice overall.
Fairly priced.

Cons: None detected

Other Thoughts: Ordered on Wednesday eve and arrived with DVD burner Friday mid-day. That is fast,. as always.
Been with Newegg almost from day one and if they don't have it, I don't need it. Never any problems at all.

Pros: It installed everything properly BUT.

Cons: I had NO product key whatsoever on my box. It was clearly ripped off before I opened it. I just finished building the computer after saving for over a year to build it. Then when it asked me for the key it was clearly pealed off. Not happy.

Pros: Its Windows 7 its 100% better then Vista and 8

Cons: It wasn't free.....but it is still a good price for a great product.

Pros: easy install very straight forward

Cons: you need basic install.tech knowledge to install

Pros: Its what Vista should have been.
Is great for everything, easy to use
Windows is for not for everyone but it gets too much hate
Especially great for games
Its the most perfect desktop OS hands down. Customization+Stability+Compatibility=WOW MICROSOFT DID SOMETHING REALLY GOOD, BUT HOW?!?!

Cons: ITS PERFECT

Other Thoughts: Windows7=Mouse+Keyboard
Windows8=TouchScreen
I have tried Windows 8 it was very hard to use as a M&K user. If someone showed me how to make windows 8 work exactly like the windows 7 shell I would likely make the switch. Apparently WIN8 has small gaming optimizations.

Windows is your best option as a gamer like it or not. (I like it)

Pros: I love windows 7 for gaming, it's gaming made easy

Cons: Look out for those nasty viruses that you get from those nasty movies you watch. lol
