The post may be but the issue of battery life on a notebook/nettop pc isn't strictly robot related. There are literally millions of people who use portable computers every day without robots being involved.

Like I said, to prove my point, I will carry out the battery eater test on my laptop with both Windows 7 and Windows XP and I guarantee the battery life on Windows 7 is not anywhere near half that of the XP test. Not sure how that wont prove anything though... I struggle to follow your logic...

I bet you will,i know you cant wait to post to try or make somebody wrong

It has the same results on 2 people me and another person that posted a test

Since you say you are a big shot expert i know will fix it to show your good results,kinda easy to do also ,since no video tape or anyone watching you making changes to suit you

but I know very well you will make a comment on my post i just too to say something about your test and yes it very much is,about using a battery issue ,thats why you only a begineer at robots.

I know some robots that pc as a control,but about 90% or more use a battery yes they do BUT THEN YOU SAID ( There are literally millions of people who use portable computers every day without robots being involved.)

So try me why does this have anything to do with robots.

Like said and DJ SAID only robot related ,i think every one knows there are millions of people that uses portable computers ,MAJOR point ITX BOARDS are not portable computers,laptops and mini pc computers and many other are.

Not many robots builders use laptops,because of the size but there is some they do,because dont know how to add a itx or thier design needs a screen.

I guess like always you missed the top heading (About Using Window 7 On A Robot ) so this post is about robots and about a low battey issue and speed using both types of software please first read before you say a comment not true (The post may be but the issue of battery life on a notebook/nettop pc isn't strictly robot related). (There are literally millions of people who use portable computers every day without robots being involved.)

second comment does not BELONG on this site use a software site to make thart comment please

Sorry?.. You will dispute my results if they prove you wrong despite not giving any indication of where your proof is or even answering basic questions about your W7 installation... Was it optimised? With all due respect, you are impossible, illogical and either just don't get it or purposely try not to make sense. Seriously I want to physically grab your head and shake it until something gets through!..

On a robot, off a robot, where the pc is makes no difference!..

The rest, well, I just don't care about. I'm fed up of trying to explain the basic things you can't seem to grasp or just don't have any indication that you will accept

Facts are (as can be found on many many websites) there is minimal extra power drain when using Windows 7 over Windows XP. There is an issue with out of the box Windows 7 and power drain. Fix the issues, optimise your installation and Windows 7 is as efficient as Windows XP. If you want to dispute that feel free to prove it wrong, God knows I've offered to prove it right but even that's not good enough!.. I will post my results for users to see and use should they wish to but if you are going to dispute them at least back up the dispute and justify it. Until then I will have nothing further to say on the matter.

that was very insulting to what you sad and will be reported to DJ TO BAN YOU Hhere ia few rules for banning Hostile, insulting or bullying to me thats a insult or bully or hostile (Seriously I want to physically grab your head and shake it until something gets through!.. ) And i wont dispute you resuls ,just wont comment on them and dont care about your results,so mostly your results are only for you ,i think nobody will make any comments or check this thread

AT least i did the test will my owns eyes and josh got the same results too i will NOT post in you post anymore ever and i hope you do the same not upset or dislike you in any way,I AM Nvery nice person that never fights or get angry ever

hope you have a good christmas and may the lord be with you

You will this is my last post to this thread

Everyone needs to take a chill pill. Discussing the merits of the different operating systems is valid and useful information. Getting upset and defensive when your opinion is challenged doesn't help anyone. Just put your experiences and knowledge out there, and expect that others will do the same and may disagree with you. Sometimes they will be right, sometimes they will be wrong, but if we all explain what our knowledge is based on, then we can learn from each other, and future readers of the thread can make up their minds based on the evidence presented. No need to get in a pissing match about it.

We certainly don't want this place to turn into something like the society of robots forum, one of the most unfriendly enthusiast forums I have ever visited.

I second what thetechguru said. I (and I bet many others) are interested what a certified microsoft expert has to sat on this topic "using Windows7 on a robot". @RichMR2, please continue, because there are quite a few of us reading the posts even if we can't add to it. Post the findings and ignore negativity.

I dont know if RICH is right or wrong,all i know from the test i did and i saw with with my eyes and JOSH did the same did and got the same results But i will like that someone say going to rip you head off and knock some sense in to it Thats not a nice thing to say, If he doesnt agree with fine

I made a big mistake putting this thread up and i think i wilkll be able to have it removed so there wront be any more arguing or almost name calling

As soon as i have time will ask a robot expert on what he has to say ,like the ones at WHITE BOX robotics and post the email from them,thier brand new systems dont use windows 7.

Also from other posts RICH does not like any of my ideas,and some i am not a expert but i am very close to it LIKE sensors ,thats my biggest field i have been testing them for a very long time and almost everyone made and some are very classified from work

One thing i do alot on my robots it test and test before i build them I have so much equipment and can have access to many more if i need it
