Windows 7
Just wondering which board members have upgraded to Windows 7? I'm now using Windows 7 Professional after having used Windows Vista Home Premium for the last two years and Windows 7 just blows it away in speed and performance even with all the "eye candy" on.

I have to go out and buy the 'actual' but I've been on the release candidate version for several months now. Loving it. Tho we have a laptop and the kids computer on Vista, I've been on XP Pro for years and years and liked it. This is a big step up.

Oh man...we need multiple choice options! I'm a Mac user, but have some Windows machines in the house. They'll all be staying at XP SP3. And I'll be staying on OS X.

Windows 7 is supposely gonna be good, but takes on average 1 year for microsoft to get a OS working properly once it's out there.

So i'll stick to XP64 until it's in the clear...and my favorite OS-X also..:)

Before my laptop takes 3 min to boot
now is less than 1 min.
Win7 is the completed version of Vista
so definately worth upgrade.

Haven't switched yet, but I'm planning to. Win 7 looks like a monster! I've used it here and there and thought it was pretty impressive.

I made the switch to a MacBook in August and can't be happier. I bought it for myself, but my wife and son have also taken a shine to it.....our PC doesn't get too much use anymore.

That being said, Windows 7 does look like a big leap forward based on the feedback I've heard.
