Windows 7, Gaming, and Why You Should Care - Page 5

The Bottom Line


If you have ancient hardware (such as scanners and printers) that you're worried won't work with Windows 7, check your manufacturer's website to find out just to be sure. The majority of computer gamers should not have this issue but better to be safe than sorry. Personally, I have yet to find a piece of my hardware that isn’t perfectly happy with the new OS.

In case you haven't guessed yet, I'm all about the release of Windows 7 on October 22nd. I've been using the release client on all my systems for a few months now and love it. I've got it running on a netbook (yes, I actually said netbook), a laptop, and my desktop gaming rig. In the case of all three, it starts up and runs everything faster and cleaner than either XP or Vista. The speed increases alone make this a gold mine for gamers everywhere.

Stay tuned next week when Ten Ton Hammer puts Windows 7 to the test. Which games will come out on top? Will any OS be able to challenge the new contender? We’re about to find out.
