I downloaded it directly from Microsoft, I had XP so I did a custom install, all went smooth, save for having to hunt for two drivers for my sound card and printer. So far, so good.

I normally would wait for the Service Pack, but curiosity got the best of me, and I wanted to clean up my PC anyway and get rid of old files I don’t use anymore to free up hard drive space, so I figured I’d kill two birds at once.

So you cleared off XP?

Except for a few quirks, my upgrade went just fine, too...

What type processor? I have a Dell Optiplex GX280 with a 3.4 GHz P4 CPU with 3G RAM and am wondering how it will fare? Also thinking about moving my Dell 670 Xeon with twin 3.2 Ghz CPU's from 64 bit XP to 64 bit Windows 7.

What version Office were you using with XP?
