They decided to make updates still for business users. So you can actually still get updates and manually update it.

I have several programs I paid for that work on Windows 7 that do not work on Windows I will put off updating as long as I possibly can. Most cash registers are still using windows 7. Along with a lot of companies. They did not get a free upgrade like consumers did.

For example Boeing still has windows 7 machines. All of the computers at a very large corporation I work at are all still windows 7. Corporations and business only upgrade when there is no other choice. It also ensures that its behavior does not impact other TCP connections negatively. Turning this option on can significantly increase throughput and packet loss recovery. Possible options are: ctcp, none, default restores the system default value. Recommended setting: ctcp. It is better to use this newer generation CTCP congestion control algorithm for most broadband connections, we highly recommend it being turned on.

It is aimed to decrease retransmissions. In essence, ECN assumes that the cause of any packet loss is router congestion.

It allows routers experiencing congestion to mark packets and allow clients to automatically lower their transfer rate to prevent further packet loss.

The receiver echoes the congestion indication to the sender, which must react as though a packet drop were detected. The results will be displayed under "Traffic Congestion Test".

Possible settings are: enabled, disabled, default restores the state to the system default. Its effect on bulk throughput with large TCP Window are less clear. Currently, we do not recommend enabling this setting, as reportedly it has negative impact on throughput with some residential US ISPs.

EA multiplayer games that require a profile logon do not support ECN as well you will not be able to logon. However, it can also reduce latency in some games with ECN-capable routers in the presence of packet loss dropped packets. The receive-side scaling setting enables parallelized processing of received packets on multiple processors, while avoiding packet reordering.

It avoids packet reordering y separating packets into "flows", and using a single processor for processing all the packets for a given flow. Packets are separated into flows by computing a hash value based on specific fields in each packet, and the resulting hash values are used to select a processor for processing the flow. This approach ensures that all packets belonging to a given TCP connection will be queued to the same processor, in the same order that they were received by the network adapter.

Possible rss settings are: disabled, enabled, default restores rss state to the system default. The value type is DWORD, and if not present, the default value of four processors is assumed do not use value greater than Offloads are initiated on a per-connection basis.

Compared to task offload, TCP chimney offload further reduces networking-related CPU overhead, enabling better overall system performance by freeing up CPU time for other tasks. The possible states are disabled, enabled, default Vista , automatic only Windows 7 and Server as follows:. Setting this "default" state under Windows 7 and Server is possible, but it sets the system to the "automatic" mode described above.

Notes: Under Windows 7 and Server the "default" and the additional "automatic" parameter set the system to the same "automatic" state. The objective of DCA is to reduce memory latency and the memory bandwidth requirement in high bandwidth Gigabit environments. It is also possible to enable this setting by editing the Windows Registry instead of using netsh as follows:.

Set to 1 to enable, 0 to disable. It is sometimes useful to view and set the MTU value for a specific network interface manually. To view a list of active network interfaces and their MTU values in Vista using netsh, open command prompt as administrator and execute the following command:. For example, if the name of your network card is "Wireless Network Connection" and you'd like to set its MTU to , you'd have to type:.

Below is a list of the few we've confirmed to still work, as well as some new additions. Note that for changes to these settings to take effect the computer needs to be rebooted. As always, a registry backup is recommended if making any changes, and some proficiency in using regedit is required. We recommend leaving this at default, unless you want to lower it. Vista uses the largest possible packet size for the underlying network by default.

Note: In some test environments, the correct MTU entry may be offset by 8. The 8 offset seems to coincide with the size of the PPPoE overhead. Check the result with the TCP Analyzer.

Setting this seems to have no effect, since auto-tuning uses the TCP scale factor and changes it on the fly, disregarding this setting. Additional testing may be required to determine it's effect if auto-tuning is turned off. Setting it to 1 is best for broadband connections. NetDMA enables support for advanced direct memory access. In essence, it provides the ability to more efficiently move network data by minimizing CPU usage.

Set to 1 to enable, 0 to disable NetDMA. Recommended setting is 1 if not using Chimney Offload , zero otherwise. More info available -here-. Theoretically, Widnows should automatically detect capable network hardware. Experimental feature, not enabled by default - IPSec Encryption cyphers and message digests - provides encryption of packets at the hardware level. It is possible to edit receive-side scaling RSS in the Windows Registry, however, we recommend using the netsh command instead.

TTL can be safely left alone in many cases. A number that's too small risks packets being discarded before reaching their destination. A number that's too large over will cause delay in when lost IP packets are discarded.

Recommended: Determines how many times unacknowledged data non-connect segment is retransmitted before TCP aborts the connection. The retransmission timeout is doubled with each successive retransmission on a connection. It is reset when responses resume. Note: When not present in the registry, the default behavior is retransmissions 5 in documentation. When enabled, connections timeout sooner if SYN attack is detected.

It may cause P2P and other programs that open a large number of connections to be somewhat limited in ramping up their transfers. Generally speaking, Windows 7 will provide a higher-performance environment for your MMOs, especially from this moment on. It won't be long before Vista is completely phased out; new PCs are being shipped with Windows 7.

But yes, I am one of those people that has a dedicated pc for playing WOW. There is absolutely nothing else installed on that pc except for wow, curse and vent. I am running on Vista 64bit. Should I upgrade to Win7? I don't know. I am happy with the performance now More important is yr videocard and cpu imo About the so-called 'failed' vista upgrade u all talk about Remember that Vista was also hailed as the biggest and best upgrade over XP when it came out Which is exactly the same as Win7 now I am very happy with Vista and have absolutely no issues with it all regarding performance or user friendliness compared to my old XP box.

And yes, we all will have to change as Ms will simply stop supporting older versions Anyway, just my thoughts I differ Vista came out to nearly universal boos and hisses. The only reasons it survived was MicroSquish made deals with all the computer suppliers of note requiring Vista, not XP, be installed and later by announcing the discontinuation of support for XP to more boos and hisses. This is why W7 is the true successor to XP.

Just a slight correction on a statement made about 32 oses limited to 3. Thus someone with a mb memory card might have 3. The more hardware that needs to be accessed, the less usable RAM. Good to know. I won't be upgrading anytime soon, as my hardware is pretty old and I can't afford a new system.

XP works for me, so I'm sticking with that until the ole girl kicks the bucket. Windows 7. I know the news story is spread out over all of the forums, but here is the thread talking a little bit about Win7 in the WoW forum. It came with Vista, but I downgraded was it really a "downgrade"?
