OOTP9 and Windows 7 Beta.

ootp3to6 · 01-12-2009, 11:54 AM

OOTP9 installed and works with Windows 7 Beta. I installed Windows 7 Beta on a new hard drive, then installed OOTP9 with one of my leagues from my Vista hard drive. Everthing seems to be in good working order.
I will keep you posted if anything happens.

Use Firefox, not IE!

Tony M · 01-12-2009, 01:06 PM

I'm confused by the comment about IE because the OP is on about the new operating system, not the new browser.

Good to know it works on the new OS

OOTP 9 does work on the new Windows 7 Beta operating system. As I mentioned in my first post, I installed OOTP 9 on a new hard drive that has Windows Beta 7 operating system just to see if it would work.
Over the next few days, I will experiment with OOTP 9 and Windows 7 Beta operating system to see if there are any glitches.
I will keep you posted.

Oh good to hear. I just installed Windows 7 last night and I really love it. I don't know what I'm going to do in fall when it expires. I might have to try out OOTP on this OS to see if it runs any smoother.

I too will be following this topic, since I plan on installing the beta as soon as I get paid and can buy another external drive to back up everything

Just an FYI:

OOTP 9 works well in windows 7 beta, seems a little bit faster as well.

Thanks,

Josh

No, thank you for the double dose of good news! (Windows 7 being one.)

Kelric · 01-14-2009, 10:06 AM

I still like Vista. Ah well.

MB.Pelicans · 01-14-2009, 01:09 PM

from the brief time I have had playing with Windows 7, I expect a lot of things to run better on it. The operating system itself seems to be less of a resource hog, allowing more resources to go to the programs hthat are running

Tony M · 01-14-2009, 01:12 PM

I've merged the two OOTP9 and Windows 7 threads.

rcr1969 · 01-14-2009, 09:13 PM

I am glad to hear that OOTP9 works with Win 7 beta. I just loaded the beta last night and thought about installing OOTP9 at work today and figured I would check the forums to see what other people have experienced.

I agree with a previous poster about Win 7 running smoother. I installed Win 7 on my Sony VAIO laptop because the XP was starting to chug along. I am a lot happier with the response time now using Win 7. Hopefully it will last!

Will give OOTP9 a shot tonight. If it works I will have my "complete" laptop back. Not complete until OOTP can run.

Good Night!

Rob.

Why is it called Windows 7? There have been more then 7 versions

When is the expected release date?

Vista is Windows 6 which you can see if you look at the Windows version field (can't remember where it is exactly)
XP was Windows 5
95 was Windows 4 (ME was probably 4.5)

OK, I was counting ME as its own version. But if I were Microsoft, I would want to forget that one too.

Yup.

Windows 2000 - Windows 4.75?

Exodor · 01-15-2009, 01:54 PM

I assume installing OOTP on a new Win7 partition will use up a license?

I've got OOTP running on Vista and I'd like to dual boot with Win7. I don't want to nuke the Vista install or unlicense OOTP in Vista until I'm sure Win7 will be compatible with all my hardware.

I know we're going off-topic with this, but what about 98?

Windows 98 definitely counts because every computer in the school where I teach uses it. Sad, really.
