751216 2009-02-26 01:25:00 I've had 7/32 bit as my only OS, duai booting with xp, and 7/64 bit dual booting with xp and 7/64 bit on it's own
In all instances 7 has performed flawlessly. In none of the loads did I have any driver problem. 7 told me what it needed and asked to go on line and find them This it did and everything I have worked. What more can you ask for? As an experiment I installed an ancient, dust covered copy of the original "Doom". And it worked better than it ever did in win 95.

I did have trouble with both dual boot set ups though. I had to load dual copies of every other program and after half an hour of flying in FSX I found files mixed between the two versions, even though they were on separate drives. So dual booting is not practical

What I realy liked was 7 can be set up to look like "windows classic" You can get rid of the garish pictures.

My biggest dislike was no e-mail program in 7. and it comes with IE 8 which is still full of bugs

If you are running 7 as sole OS you have fo format to get rid of it. The easiest way is to use your xp disk to boot from and select install and then work your way to the format section. Then jist do a quick format and then carry on with the install. NOTE: You must boot from the disk

I have a very small C: drive with nothing on it except the OS. This saves a lot of time. Though you may need a bit of registry shuffling, depending on what else is on your computer
