EC-Bills Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The problem is that much of Windows 7 is not designed for business productivity. I think a lot of IT experts would have a hard time justifying shelling out money for new OS to their bosses. What in the flying !@#$ are you talking about?!? Windows 7 *was* designed for business productivity! Why do you think they have Professional and Enterprise versions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fingon Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 What in the flying !@#$ are you talking about?!? Windows 7 *was* designed for business productivity! Why do you think they have Professional and Enterprise versions? There are a lot of features that accomplish nothing other than entertainment value. I haven't noticed anything that would make my bosses scream "We have to have that on every computer". Like i said, in this economy I don't think that companies will be lining up to make the switch just yet. There are a lot of benefits, but unfortunately a lot of the less technical people in charge I've spoken with see it eye candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC-Bills Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Just curious. What sort of multimedia work do you do? The group I mentioned above, it is just media players for web content. I also support a digital media group who use a variety of products: Adobe Premiere (they are hoping CS5 sucks less), rendering software (can't remember the names), etc. This group does AV production, media conversion/duplication, streaming to a name a few things.

Fezmid Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 God I'd love to see how fast Ubuntu 10.04 boots on that bad boy. I bet it'd be like 3 seconds. Probably, considering Windows boots up (including POST) in about 12 seconds... Win7 comes out of sleep in 3-4 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Cool!I'm a photographer and I've been shooting digital for about 7 years. Before that,(starting in '96)I was scanning film,and prints for my digital content. I use CS3, but 95% of what I do involves Photoshop. Photoshop or Camera RAW? I find that I do most of my work in ACR nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 ITT: Various angry men in a pissing match over OS's. Me: Chuckling heartily as I run Windows 7 and OS X 10.6.3 at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
