I have been running 7 for two months now, a registered version at that. Let me tell you it BLOWS Vista away. It starts up fully loaded in like 8-10 seconds! Im gonna love it! Plus, all of the issues with networking seem to be resolved.

That's a good point. Maybe Microsoft will find a way to run apps in their free Virtual PC, but making them feel like they are running on the host operating system. Kind of like Parallels is able to do for Macs. That way people could run their old applications without feeling like they are using a virtual machine.

I find a clean install is always the way to go when upgrading; especially when skipping a version during the upgrade. The question is will Windows 7 really be modular as they say it will be? If it is it may run well on the same hardware as XP, something Vista can’t do well. It will be interesting to see what happens in regard to this.

I’ve been hearing a lot of people saying that if Windows 7 is good then they plan on upgrading from XP, but I think the initial result is going to be an unpleasant one. Drivers will have problems, software compatibility will be poor initially, and there will likely be problems all around. That’s always the case when a new version of Windows comes out.

People want revolutionary change, but they also want extensive compatibility. Unfortunately I don’t think there is a happy medium.

I guess Microsoft is really desperate to try to recapture some of the Microsoft faithful to be releasing the next version so soon. I think it’s a good idea since Vista is not looked upon so well in the poll of public opinion. If all I’m hearing about version 7 is true maybe it will be worth the upgrade from XP, much more so than Vista. I just hope they will have enough drivers in place and better x64 support before v7 is released.

If they are really going to release it in second half of 2007 then a lot of work is cut out for them because as they say it will have a fundamentally different architecture from windows then not much time is left.But after observing their efforts with Vista I don’t have high hopes but time will decide 8O.
