Except I had to upgrade from home to professional to run some of my old programs...another 100 bucks...
I am so annoyed. I have a software vendor who has failed to make their software compatible with 7 so I’m stuck scrounging copies of XP for my AD domain.
No drivers for a current-production HP printer, no drivers for a current-vintage flatbed scanner, many programs do not run...yeah it’s a HIT alright....hit me in the jewels and wallet in one smack.
Upgraded from Vista to Win7 Home Premium about 8 months ago. I have NEVER had it crash, and all my devices and programs run well with it. I bought this comp pre-loaded with Vista and it works even better with the new OS!
Got it at the ‘employee discount’ price from a friend of mine who works at Microsoft and goes to our church. Perfectly alright as long as I don’t try to re-sell or pirate it.
Funny, I don’t see Windows 7 on my computer. XP still there and quite happy with it.
I've already determined that I can't use either one with Windows 7.
There is no way I can keep up!
I liked XP, I had no problems with it.
Running since October 22, 2009 at about 11 a.m., one hour after it was released. ZERO crashes since.
I highly recommend it for new machines. 
I love using Windows 7. What a great operating system!
Maybe it is just me but I still yearn to hear the distinctive Windows 95 chime. I sort of brings me back to the days when I first entered the Web. Any links to where I can hear that Win 95 chime again.
I’m on the fence with 7.
What I gained in stability I lost in productivity. Everything is in a different place - often for no discernable reason. Keyboard equivalents (which I used heavily so I didn’t have to constantly take my hands off the keyboard to reach for a mouse) have almost universally changed or been eliminated.
Half of what I do is knowing what to do, and the other half is knowing how to do it. Windows 7 pretty much destroyed my knowledge of how to get anything done. After a few weeks of using it, I’m liking it more, but I have to question why everything had to change. Between the couple of XP machines I still have left, Windows 7, Windows 2003 and Windows 2008, half the time I can’t remember where anything is on the menu, because everything’s in a different place.
The shutdown icon and it’s associate options and version-specific permutations is particularly annoying.
Windows 7?
Heck. I’m already up to Windows 95 and thinking seriously about upping for Windows 98.
Perhaps it's because Microsoft knows that a HUGE percentage of those sales are a result of people desperate to recover from having a giant turd named Vista crammed down their throat.
Works great for everything I have tried....even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.
What’s the cheapest way to go from Vista to Windows 7 Pro?
