My wife and I have been on Win XP since it was first released, and we love it. However, my wife did a job for a client last year that required her to have a computer running Windows 7, so we got an HP laptop with 7 on it.

By the time she’d finished the job for her client, we had become familiarized with the Windows 7 operating system, and I can tell you that if we could afford it, we’d upgrade in a heartbeat.

If you love XP, you’ll really love 7.

There have been numerous sales in recent weeks for a 3 pack of Windows 7 Home Premium licenses with a physical disc for under $100 delivered.

Out west Fry’s has had it the sale at least 3 times in the last three months.

For $33/PC it’s a pretty reasonable cost.

Depending on what version of Windows XP, you can upgrade it to Windows 7 .

"we had become familiarized with the Windows 7 operating system, and I can tell you that if we could afford it, we’d upgrade in a heartbeat."

You can buy a Windows upgrade disk, with THREE upgrades for $100 from Amazon. I just did, and it was the first Microsoft product since DOS 6.11 that was worth the price.
