I’m pretty much impressed with the stability of Windows 7. It is better than windows Vista which hogs my memory and cpu.`.:

Internet Explorer 8 is very good because it is as stable as Opera. I hate the previous versions of IE like IE6 because it hangs frequently. ‘

Good stuff. This driver signing issue is really a non issue now due to a piece of freeware called ready driver plus which intercepts the boot process to make Windows bootup with Driver signing enforcement disabled. Then again, that defeats the whole purpose of driver signing. It’s kind of like disabling UAC. Everyone complained about XP being insecure so they came up with UAC to make it more secure and the first thing people did was complain and disable it.

Driver signing doesn’t mean a whole lot anyway. Just look at the change log for various driver updates. How often do they contain “BSOD fixed under such an such event” We find this particularly with the USB drivers we use in our products.
Another problem is the manufacturer fixes a bug and thinks well we’ve got several more fixes left to sort lets wait to fix them before paying for driver signing. So consumers are forced to wait for fixes unnecessarily.
e have to edit the .inf files for signed drivers to have them work with our unique USB PID numbers and to include our company name, this does not effect the driver stability but they become unsigned as a result. We cannot afford to sign them especially when we don’t know if the drivers we edit are going to have bugs and be replaced at any moment, because even though they are signed they still manage to regularly crash windows.

You don’t like Microsoft for whatever reason. That’s fine. But don’t hate because Microsoft wants to suppress some of the poorly designed software that is the reason Apple controls developers so tightly. As for Vista being XP, wow. Do a little research. Vista was a big step forward, which is why there were bugs early on and haters such as yourself decided to stick with old technology. 2000 was the major upgrade from 98 which had bugs and driver issues, and led to XP which was the minor update fixed things. Vista is the major upgrade from XP which had bugs and driver issues, and led to Windows 7 which blew everything previous out of the water. Seriously though, if you hate Microsoft so much you should probably save up and buy a Mac. If you are a power user though, even Me had its merits and I’d always rather have the newer technology than stick with the old. There are always features that help out a lot.

As for driver signing, who cares. You have the rules, you either play by them or you bitch and complain on blog posts because you don’t know how to just find a workaround and live in peace.

As for XP in the workplace, your employer just isn’t very forward thinking. At mine we’ve migrated to Vista since its inception on about 8,000 computers at 1,600 plus about 1,500 at our two headquarters. We’ve been pushing back the date, but as of now XP will be completely phased out by 2012. And even better we’re supporting Windows 7 this summer and lots of people are jumping the gun and getting there own Windows 7 boxes which we then have to tell them to return for Vista Business.

To everyone…Why is it that Internet commenters ONLY go places to post negative responses. People are cold hearted.
