Still with xp, haven't even bothered with vista. Although 7 is supposed to be a big improvement from vista (but vista was supposed to be that to xp!)

Marketing bullshit.

Yawn. Win7 is officially an epic boredom.

The only thing that can be said for it is that it is less hoggish than Vista.

Based on a couple of months on the 64 bit version.

I never understood what was wrong with vista it ran very fast on all my hardware, Windows 7 is the same fast and smooth.

Tried twice to upgrade my vista laptop with different copies of the RC and have only seen a brief blue screen of death in 7 following 5 hours of "upgrading" before it crashes and reinstates Vista...... nice one windows.

Ran it on my desktop and laptop, was 100% stable for me. I liked the screen snip feature, preview windows on the taskbar and the hibernate power saver. Ran some games and some flash firmware programming software no hassels. Didn't need to download any drivers manually. Was faster than XP for startup and shutdowns and for overall installation. I'd buy it.
