Win7 vs. XP (Read 3708 times)

Win7 vs. XP
Jun 2nd, 2010, 6:19am  
I've searched this discussion group to see if Processing will run w/ Win7 64bit, and there seems to be some issues of sketches not running in Win7 that run fine in XP.

I have a new Win7 64 box and an older/slower XP 32 system. I'm fairly new to Processing. Which system would you use to start learning Processing?

Thanks.

General advice: perhaps learn Processing on your old box. From experience, I know it works fine on old systems.
With some experience, you will be ready to try and run on Win7/64 and see if there are specific issues.
If there are (or not!), you are welcome to share your experience here.

i used to work on xp and vista and now run windows 7 64 bit and never had any problems with all my sketches. even all the old ones run perfectly... If you want to go save, use XP. but you probably wont notice a difference.

Hmmm.... 50/50   Smiley

I'm thinking I'll go Win7, & if problems arise, I'll see if they persist in XP.

Thank you.

I'm thinking why we have to upgrade to Win7 if everything is running good in WinXP? I believe Microsoft is developing Win8 and someday they will say win8 is the best.

I also run win 7 64bit and never had any problems with my sketches also. you probalbly use win 7 to start learning processing since upcoming apps and software will be adapted to win 7.

good luck! Wink
