Thanks for the replies, guys :wave:. At the first half of the next week, the new laptop thing is to be expected to arrive. |

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. Eric --- End quote --- Hi mate, my experiences are exactly the same as Erics, Got 7 on my laptop, still got Vista on all my work machines and HATE it.... although its running ok for most of my applications now. This took several months of downloading patches though... 7 is a breath of fresh air, everything I need to do with my work....'works' in 7. Looking good so far.... good luck... |

Just to add my 2ps worth I've been running W7 (64 bit version) for the last 3 months, did mine as a clean install rather than as an upgrade but have to say it's run flawlessly since I've had it. To be honest for what I use the PC for I can't say there's an particular advantage over my old XP version but as more 64 bit apps come out that may change ?? Cheers Jim |

The new laptop arrived today, and after short testing, that W7 doesn't feel bad at all. I think, that there is W2K/XP lurking somewhere under the hood after all ::). At first, task manager showed some 70 processes, way too much. So, I uninstalled all the needless bundled software, and replaced firewall and virus protection with free and much lighter ones. Optimization anyone? |

Still, after more usage, I haven't had any troubles with W7. More I examine it, the more W2K/XP -kind of menus and settings I find. On different places, though. Even my oldest program, opera 6.02, that I still use daily, works just fine :wave:. |
