Should I get windows 7?

I see some people have windows 7 and say MS works glitchless with 7. I already have vista and xp and I am thinking to remove windows xp from the 2nd partition and install windows 7 in that partition. Should I get windows 7 or will it not be a good idea because maplestory will still suck with it.

@Codykins: I know W7 is amazing. I was only warning him about the problems people tend to have with it. It's crippled a lot of my BL and alliance, so I believe waiting the few days to BB to see how its problems are remedied before making the change.

I agree with Kyotomo, keep WinXP, kill Vista for Win7. at least that way you'd have an OS working with MS for sure.

[quote=Codykins]Please don't slander W7. I have W7 and I will never get an older OS. I absolutely love it. Sure, it's not the most compatible with MapleStory - but there's more than just that. W7 is a hundred times better than XP and Vista. Compatibility will come in time.[/quote]

This. Maple sucks in general. If you've been on the forums, you will hear people complaining about Maple on their Macs, Vista, XP, or Win7. Seriously, that's a majority of the big brand operating systems.

[quote=LuisBIader]I'm going to guess that 75% of Maplers are retarded enough to blame vista/windows 7/mac on their crashes.

• Your computer is fail because you bought a cheap model.
• Your internet connection sucks or is below/average par.
• You have yet to upgrade your graphics card, which is normally the cause of game crashing, d/cing, and other game related problems.
• Maple is just a really crappy game that Nexon fails to manage well.
• A majority of maplers have no tech experience leading them to think that "OMG VISTA (windows 7 by now) CRASHES MY COMPUTER EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE MOST POPULAR OPERATING SYSTEM RIGHT NOW; I WONDER WHY"

u sir are dumb i just bought this laptop like 1 month ago dude... dont said my comp fail nur my internet connection sucks i dont have to upgrade no card i agreed with nexon not managing well "but crappy" then how u playing and got a chaaracter in 155 how it is crappy sirr? i do have experience dude[/quote]

What the hell are you trying to say? You seem like you're 10 so I can't comprehend what you're trying to tell me. Are you saying your computer sucks? Are you saying it's good? Are you trying to say I'm level 155 because my computer is something?

Should you upgrade to Windows 7? It costs $200. If you're just using your computer for gaming, you should just buy a graphics card for about $100. You're most likely going to get a new computer soon (or a few years) which will have windows 7.

[quote=Wadalite]The only problems I have with windows 7 is I get a TON of lag. I guess Win 7 effects each person differently.[/quote]

depends how good your computer is i think. Windows Vista is kinda worse memory wise. i mean that vista takes up so much memory on your computer causing more lag and you need a better computer, but idk how it is for W7

Well the truth is I am only getting it to play MS. I'm going to get an illegitimate copy, where I can't really update it, but I really don't care because im only using it for maple, vista is my main OS, I have no problems with vista except maple doesn't work nice on it.

instead of pulling the XP, pull the Vista... nothing against Vista, its just that Vista and XP are very different, but Vista and 7 are VERY similar.

if you're doing things other than playing maple on win7, then I definately suggest Windows7
But if you're going to get a windows7 to play maple on, then d/cs and fresh glitches await you, my friend.

@Demon671: Based on the fact that many people do have issues with W7, I still suggest you wait the 5 days and see how BB changes things.
And you sure are lucky Mr. Demon I can count the people I know with no W7 problems on one finger now.

[quote=Kyotomo]uhm idk if windows 7 is glitched with MS but dont delete XP it's much better then Vista just remove vista and try Windows 7..[/quote]

i need to keep vista. It was the OS my comp was installed on and I have the img drive of the O.S. just in case any bull crap happens.

Which type of Windows 7 are yall using?

W7 is TORTURE.[/quote]

Its all different for everyone. I myself love win7 and works PERFECTLY for me. I don't crash i don't lag. So its all up to hardware.

I don't see how so many people have problems with W7. I run MS perfectly fine on it.

[quote=MostBrutaI]idk how it can be glitchless, cause the glitch usually comes from the game or server itself. Maybe internet connection will be more secure, idk.

anyways yeah my bro has windows 7 and i played ms on it, it's the same- just faster.[/quote]

IS your bro able to go through fm ch 1 without d/cing or anything?
