I've heard nothing but good about 7, in fact, a friend on facebook was selected to be a beta tester, and he loved it, as well.

I might just wait till it is released.
I don't have a prob with my XP....I just want to try something new.

I remember when XP first was released, and how it sucked at first, but it was light-years better than the ME that was on the computer I had then. I don't care what anybody says about XP....they never truly suffered an OS unless they experienced ME, for sure. Microsuck, what IN the blue hell were you thinking with ME? :flip:

Millenium Edition:25 pounds of mashed assholes in a 5 pound sack
XP: rather decent, if you start with Pro, and keep the bugs and that ed SeaPort out of it...

PS, Eric, thanks for moving the thread

..I was thinking about it a few hours after I posted, and realized it should've went here

You never truly experience a bad OS until you used the first release of 95....Or better yet Dos 4........ oh yea, bad times.

Then in my new job here, I have been using Windows 7. It's been about six weeks now. And let me tell you...not only is it stable, but I actually LIKE it. Not having ever used Vista, I can't do a direct comparison but coming from XP it's like a breath of fresh air...

Per a computer guy(software developer) that posts on another board I frequent, W-7 is nothing more than Vista with a few up dates... Says it looks very similar to Vista...

Me, I'm probably gonna use XP as my main operating system as long as I'm alive(I used ME from '00 till '07)... I do have a box with Vista on it and it does seem to work fine, I just ain't interested in another M$ operating system... Also on that 'puter I have Linux Mint(close relative to Ubuntu), installed in a dual boot configuration... If you do nothing, it boots to Mint, but Vista can be selected from the startup screen... So far it works fine and almost totally configures it's self on install... I did try it stand alone on a second 'puter and it couldn't get the display drivers set up correctly... Still on two others it installed just fine...

Vista is a loaded down . Basically XP revisited. When XP came out people were paying to have it removed because of how slow it was. Vista takes over 1 1/2 minutes to load up OOTB on my wifes dual core laptop. Windows 7 is supposed to be vista without all the user friendly stuff. Basically, vista/xp drivers and windows 98 put together.

Sounds alot like 2000 to me.
