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;)

Unless you are going to have driver problems, Switch to Win7

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.

windoes 7 is basicly Vista but with all the issues/bugs fixed and its not a resource hog.
making it faster and more reliable Operating system

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:cool:

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