So wanna give us a run down of most the tweaks you've come across? Other then the ones listed here, or maybe even can condense them to one post?? For us that needs seat belts to keep us in the chair cause we fall asleep waiting for things to load??

It's really not so much tweaks and such as it is just a huge difference in overall performance in Windows 7 itself I think. It's funny how Microsoft seems to be in the pattern of getting every other release right...

Windows 3.1 -- big deal in the day
Windows 95 -- mostly a bomb
Windows 98 -- another hit in its day
Windows Me -- OMG... did that actually happen, or was it just a dream?
Windows XP -- solid workhorse way outlived its intended life expectancy
Windows Vista -- if Windows Me was a dream, that was the nightmare
Windows 7 -- worth the cost of admission and then some. Seriously.

Aside from that... If you haven't done this... you gotta... http://www.wowinterface.com/download...atencyFix.html

The rest is just a case of not loading your system down with crap you don't need.

I recall "Windows 95 = MacOS 87" and similar comments. And the other day I saw an ad for Windows 7 which made a big deal out of the new "task bar" (I think that's what it's called). When I saw a picture, my first thought was "that looks exactly like the Mac's Dock".

Actually Windows 98 = Amiga OS 1.1 (1985).

Amiga was an awesome system... if only they had a modicum of marketing smarts, we could be living in a very different computing world. That machine was way ahead of its time.

Ah the amiga .. I remember them, sadly never did own one and was jealous of my friend who did.

However, after some tweaking on the firewall and the latency fix I'm finally back to my 150-200ms latency and my 20+fps in dalaran on near max graphics settings like I had on vista and before my 3 months off from the game. Now to delve into some more tweaks and see if I can can't eek out more outta this beast.

But I still think we should pool together these tweaks into a single post.. I don't know, maybe a wiki style? I can come up with some more ideas this weekend.

The Amiga was what my younger brother learnt most of his programming on .. after the BBC Micro and Commodore 64 rofl.

I took him into work one day when I was 18 and he was erm .. counts .. 12 and he managed to hack into the Apple computers base software and was playing with it .. rofl .. my boss thought he had broken everything and was rewriting the software .. my brother just laughed at him being so silly rofl

4 or 5 years later I got him a job at my newest company at the time and he is there still after I was made redundant 8 years ago rofl and earning well in excess of 25k a year.

Not bad for someone who didn't do college after he left school at 16 huh ?
