This tread is mostly about using WINDOWS XP IN A ROBOT and comparing it to windows 7 i see a lot of it off topic
Here is somethings i found out by testing both windows XP and windows 7
Now i have 2.4ghz dual processor with 3 gig memory and using 32 bit systems both windows 7 and windows XP and windows XP on a bench mark test shows it was much faster,now with a 64 bit windows 7 it was a lot faster.
But the windows 7 draw almost double current then windows XP THAT why if you check every professional robot over $1000 and some over $12000 like the one i am getting soon hanson ROBOKIND that just came out,none uses windows 7,robot cost more so they can easy add it,but they dont
I dont think the will stop selling it it says no support only, I guess RICH you know more then any robotic engineers or any one else i guess next your are the best in programming and robotics too
really do need to find out how to delete this post ,so nobody cant post or cause and bad feeling or anything else
Oh sry rich what was it you wanted to know about the win 7 install on the acer one netbook?
can this post please end,no more comments at all,not good for this forum and DJ will be very upset if you dont post any comments then nobody ever will reply not trying to be mean or not like anyone , iwish there was a post delete button for the person who started this post SORRY i ever bought this up ,made a mistake,sorry DJ
Sorry, that was directed at @robotmaker not you Josh (it looks like there were a lot of posts while I typed mine), although now you mention it, was it fully updated when it reported a big reduction in time left on the battery? And were all the fancy aero features turned off etc. (really, that makes a massive difference to processor usage which would affect the battery).
@Robotmaker, I stand by what I'm saying with Windows 7/XP, I have said that I will dig out my old reports and logs. I never claimed to know more about anything than anyone I merely pointed out that I am a Microsoft Certified Professional and that pretty much puts me in the "expert" classification when it comes to Microsoft products.
RICH you say so, i know a few too,microsoft certified pro only they work at BIG computers shops so i dont think you are a expert ,but like said ask a robotics expert and give us that they say about them only using windows xp in robotics that is what this forum is about not about microsoft stuff only whats trhe best microsoft software used on robot if you are such a big shot certified expert ,show just one robot design ever use a windows 7 software should be very easy for you ,i bet you cant find one many pc's has it ,but not robots and new ones just came out too seems you dont know anything about robotics ,just learning witch is great
When did I say I was better than Microsoft? Please, point it out. If you are referring to when I said "And for the record, I am an expert in the field of computers, more so Microsoft software" re-read it. More so, not more than. My expertise is in Microsoft products.
This issue has absolutely nothing to do with robotics. It's linked to it only though third party software. Why would I know what software robots run?
It's as if you think the only thing a portable PC is used for is robotics...
Purely to prove a point, This weekend when I get the chance I will run the battery eater test on my laptop running Windows 7. I will then install XP and carry out the same test and post the results.
YES this post does have everything to do with robotics its about using windows xp on a robot and comparing it to windows7 on a robot
There are other forums to talk about microsoft products i fix the small mistake with a edit button You said you are making you firsty robot with a omnibot And you also said on another post you are not using a computer in your robot also
so you really dont know much yet about using platforms on robots very easy to PROVE ME WRONG give me a robotic company that uses windows 7 or any other semipro desgn too,and i never yet seen a hobby robotist use one too portable is mostly used on robots,some have itx types some use laptops ,i can give you a list of many mostly very small robot cant use it yet,and some robot companies use 3 itx board in thier robotsI I am not a certified robotics engneer,i was offer the job.but not moving to california or anywhere lsi i love florida and my job too,BUT i do no a lot and alot of all types of robotic design,main reason i search them and them buy them for my very big collection,doing it for over 20 years and same on sensors too everytype made,soon will post my very large collection of my sensors.cant on the robots ,DJ said no robots unless it EZB used in it and over 8 robots has windows xp and about 30 more comming soon,about 4 wont WALL-E and a few others
DO what what you want doesnot prove anything,if you want to use windows 7 on any of you robot great by me PLEASE do not say i am wrong use a point it seems you are really trying very hard to make a point about you love with windows 7
going to ask DJ HOW TO DELETED this post not good for this forum
