At least until I need a new pc, I want to bypass vista. My brain isn't totally immersed in things IT and I am very grateful for help and ideas from those who's knowledge exceed mine in this field.

We must move with times.

821122 2009-10-16 20:42:00 I've got Win 7 Pro on order, even as we speak. I think it's great:cool: jcr1 (893)
821123 2009-10-16 20:42:00 Always want the latest myself, haven't been on XP for a few years now. Question isn't whether to get seven, it's whether to continue my policy of upgrading hardware when I get a new OS. This hardware still goes very well so may be no need to upgrade this time.

821124 2009-10-16 20:43:00 I may upgrade to 7 on my desktop next time I replace the motherboard/cpu/ram,which will probably happen in the next few months. Or not.

Doubt I'll ever change the OS on my laptop or media PC.

821125 2009-10-16 21:22:00 Like all techs, I work with All the OS's, XP seems so damn :yuck:after working in Windows 7 and Vista.

MANY things I have gotten used to in W7 make it so much easier.

One item is the faster user desktop, the moment ( 2-3 seconds) after it appears I can start working with it, not like XP -wait for things to load, even on a fresh install. Even Vista is slow in that aspect.

Wouldn't a genius coping with 2 threads be a genii?

From a technicians point of view, I agree fully.

Not to mention that the eye candy makes things more "fun":p
