That Windows 7 is totally new thing to me. Does it differ much from XP or W2k?

Reason for question is, that I had to take a loan, and order a new laptop, since I have to evacuate myself from this apartment for two or more weeks, after the easter.

Computer addict? who? me? ::) 

Anyways, my current OS has been W2k almost 10 years, and after some tweaking, it's rock solid.

So, any experiences on transition from W2k or XP to Windows 7?

I am running Windows 7 on my laptop (MacBook :) ) and my workstation at work. I hated Vista. Took me forever to go to XP... was on 2k forever and before that I was on NT. All my other machines run Linux. I gotta say, I like Windows 7. After some tweaking and customization I am happy with it.

Any questions just ask.

I just installed W7 on wifes MACBOOK, Something went wrong during the install, it took about 10hrs on the phone with M/S and Apple techs to solve the problem. Works now.  The jury is still out on how I like it compared to XP. Too early to tell except that it is quicker than Vista.  We shall see. I still haven't figured out how to "right click"  in windows format!!!!

With the touch pad? Make sure you have all bootcamp drivers installed. When you go to right click, touch the pad with 2 fingers and click the button.
