What about upgrading from Vista to XP or 98? Now THAT would be an improvement.

Aw, Dad, do I hafta upgrade?

What I’d like to know is if my current Windows 7 RC version (which expires on March 1, 2010) will upgrade smoothly to the RTM. I hope so.

I have 32-bit Vista Home Basic, and will be upgrading to 7 Home Premium. Any reason to switch to 64-bit? My computer is 64-bit capable (Intel Core Duo 2.0GHz and 3GB RAM), but for some reason came pre-installed with 32-bit Vista (it only came with 1GB RAM).

I’m not sure a clean install would be a bad thing, since it seems like there’s a lot of crap on there that’s accumulated over the years that probably slows it down, and I really only use it for web browsing and Microsoft Office.

Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) said Tuesday that it has issued an official Release Candidate for software that allows users of the forthcoming Windows 7 operating system to run a virtual edition of Windows XP from inside Win7.

What's the deal with the "Windows 7" name anyway? I remember in the early '90s, Windows 3.1 was the big deal. Since then there have been more than three (supposedly) major upgrades to Windows, right? By my count, there were at least five: Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP and Vista.

Do only three of those five now count? Or is Windows 7 the operating system equivalent of Leonard Part 6?

I have used Vista x64 Ultimate on my Quad-core Dell for 18 months without a single crash, driver problem or major issue. It is super stable. And on a second drive I have Windows 7 x64 RC1, which is fantastic and FAST.

What do these Windows-bashers have, a x386 running Vista?

I don't plan on any problems upgrading to Windows7 as I plan to keep XP. Why would I need to upgrade when XP does all I ask of it and more if I wanted?

It seems to me that MS has made, once again, to many versions of their new operating system if they have to put out a chart just so people will buy the correct one. Thanks, but no thanks.
