I would do a search. I asked that question back in the fall.
Always wait until the first update patch (”service pack” or whatever they call it).
Sorry you’re on Vista, though.
For one thing Bill Gates could use the money.(sarc)
Vista is a big fat bloated slow-running pice of crap
Windows 7 is a big fat bloated piece of crap
see the difference?
I have the 64 bit version of windows 7- trust me on this- wait for service pack 1 AT LEAST (more likely sp2)
and whatever you do DO NOT download and ry to use the ‘free’ Office 210 beta- unless you like an email program that crashes when you send an email.
They should have stopped with Win2K PRO and done something useful
If your computer is handling Vista OK, why upgrade until there is some indication that Micro$oft will stop supporting it? That said, IMHO having used both, Win 7 is a big step forward, at least on my Latitude E6400 laptop.
It's an easy upgrade. In fact, Windows 7 should have been named Windows Vista Service Pack 3. The only bugaboo is that Windows 7 does not contain an email program. You have to provide your own or go to the Microsoft site and download one of theirs. (It's free.) The old Windows Mail has been replaced by Windows Live Mail.
AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE ‘RIBBON’ BAR IN OFFICE!!!
If a WANTED 1/3 of my screen taken up with a display of commands I never use I would have done it myself.
You will upgrade or you will be eliminated.
Sincerely,

Vista has served my needs. I will wait until I upgrade one of my computers to get 7. It’s possible that I may keep vista for some time. Heck, I still have a XP machine as well.
Bill wants you to reward him for money wasted on VISTA by buying his next operating system.
You will comply.
If I had Windows XP, I would not upgrade to Vista.
If I had Windows XP, I would not upgrade to Windows 7.
However, If I had Vista I would upgrade to Windows 7.
Color me fat, dumb and happy
Best ten bucks you will ever spend.
because vista sucks and 7 does not?
Interesting how Microsoft stirs up comments. Hmmmm.
I’m a constant computer users. I had Vista on one machine (laptop, came on it) with no problems. Upgraded to 7 and found it significantly faster. Loads faster, runs faster.
I have installed 7 on two new desktops and they work very well. Since Vista attracted so much negative press, there must have been problems. I find it hard to argue that 7 has any problems past the fact that some software and some drivers will not work in 7. In fact, I have one hardware item that states on the box that it “works with 7” when in fact it doesn’t and the mfg can’t (or won’t) tell me when a 7 driver will be available. Small price for a fast, stable operating system.
Finally, if Bill Gates ever comes to our town, I have promised to go punch his lights out for all the hours and hours I have spent over the years trying to make SOME of his software do what it should do. It’s a relief to finally get some that does work.
It’s the first Windows Upgrade I’ve liked since about 1996.
And I work (ahem) very closely with these things.
Make sure you have max memory.
Stability is very good. Boot and shutdown times are great. UI is fine and somewhat better. Speed seems better than Vista.
All in all, it’s a very good O/S.
But it is always a hassle to upgrade an O/S. So, weigh the advantages I think exist against the several hours of work its going to take to get you where you want to go.
