I never went for Vista - still on XP.

Are there any significant improvements of W7 vs. XP that will be noticeable? Or is it just different eye-candy?

That I don’t know.

I’m hoping it will speed up my machine (the Microsoft neighbor says it will), since I’d rather run the one I have ‘til it dies completely than buy a new PC.

If you have XP this is not the upgrade for you.

If you have Vista, no problem, but with XP you’ll have to transfer files and will lose all your programs — maybe even have to reformat the drive.

I think I read all that on CNET.com.
