Have to say that I have been running XP since it came out and I am in the vast majority when I say that Windows XP SP2 is the most perfect OS that exists. Any functionality that is in newer browsers can be easily integrated into XP. The only limitation is that it is not 64 bit, so it is hardware restrictive. If not for that, I would not even consider changing.

I find it interesting that the Windows platform is discussed without inclusion of prerequisites like Anti Virus, the real world experience will be of interaction between the two and the numerous other bits of “Added Features” that every mouse driver or browser extension wants to install.
My short experience with 7 was more positive than I expected but as a platform it doesn’t empower me to use the programs I use any quicker so I can’t see the upgrade cost justified (for my admittedly business focussed use). I will also not miss having to purchase extra seats of AntiVirus and double windows updates to secure XP mode.
Does anybody else remember the Vista advertising 10bn$ WOW!
I do wonder how much it has now cost to get from XP to here.
Maybe that should have read 10bn$ WhatTheFlip!

- Used XP since it was released and have to say, not one blue-screen that wasn’t caused by dodgy Sony Vaio hardware…
- Using Vista at work, and have had no end of problems with buggy graphics drivers (this is even after SP1)… and the good old BSOD which I thought I left behind with Win98 and ME (heaven forbid).
- Windows 7??? Used the Beta and still using the RC on a number of machines and it easily is the most reliable beta/RC I’ve seen in a while from MS and has not crashed or BSOD once – even when using BETA graphics drivers.
I WILL be moving to Win7 Pro with 3 machines at home and at work.

PS. Loving the new taskbar, jumplists and revised “Favourite” folders – more practical then ever.

I hate it when people bang on about OSX being great, it is the most unintuative OS out there. Mac users are brain washed to the extreme, some simple things are so needlesly complex…….like right clicking you either drag 2 fingers down the mouse pad and tap or use the ctrl key and mouse at the same time, why not just use a 2 buttons mouse!

Further to my initial blog, can I ask everyone if they’ve suffered any network connection problems? It looks like it’s a widespread issue, and I’m trying to get some information together.

If you are suffering problems, let me know if you’re running RC or RTM. And which wired chipset you’re using.

If you aren’t suffering any problems, I’m equally interested – same questions apply!

Confortable = Comfortable

I’m astounded to read some comments relegating Windows 7 to just above Vista.

Windows 7 can be summerised in 1 word. Confortable.

This is by far the first OS where everything works, out of the box. Very little to tweak and fiddle. Performance is amazing compared to sluggish Vista. Everything is Win7 is where I expect it to be. Microsoft have finally listened to it’s real customers like us (not the corporate fakes who want it ‘their way’)

I’m using Win 7 on my home PC, Work Laptop and Media Centre.

In my opinion, it’s a joy to use. I’ve never been so excited about an OS before (well since Win 3.11 to Win95)
