Windows 7
Well, thanks to Play.com's foresight to use a courier instead of Royal Fail I have my pre-ordered copy (£49.99 - bargain)
Anyone got it up and running yet? Experiences? This is the first MS product I'm actually quite excited about since... well... No wait, this is the first

Re: Windows 7
Unless you are going to have driver problems, Switch to Win7

Re: Windows 7
So what are the advantages of Windows 7? I am running Vista on the laptop but if I would be better with 7 I may switch.

Re: Windows 7
Windows 7 also adds a few interface touches over Vista
I bought it because it was cheap, not because I wasn't happy with Vista, but it'll be a nice upgrade from XP

Re: Windows 7
There are rumours that it takes 2 days to upgrade form XP to windows7. Are these unfounded or true?
