After years of basically limping along on XP I find it gratifying to be using Windows 7. Finally being able to use up all that ddr3 ram has been such a joy! I personally haven't ran into any issues with drivers so maybe Im just lucky with that. At the moment though after using Vista as work and W7 at home, Id pick W7. As Philly said though, W7 has its flaws and they cant be ignored. With time though I think it will prove to be one of MS best OS to date.

Xp being the best OS still to date, how can you be limping along? unless your on a terrible rig?
Maybe I'm just being very dim...
Anyway, I also like 7 but still prefer XP. Though I'll probably end up going over to Windows 7, but only after a couple of months after official release on the 22nd.
W7 at us$30 for students, Home or Pro, 32 or 64b version through download (d/l) until 3 Jan 2010. ref or free (MSDNAA students)
To see if your computer can run W7. For quick reference, here are the Windows 7 System Requirements: - 1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor - 1GB RAM (32-bit) / 2GB RAM (64-bit) - 16GB available disk space (32-bit) / 20 GB (64-bit) - DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
for d/l size, consider the ISO file 32b W7 Release Candidate was 2.35GB and the 64b was 3.04GB.
One will need a clean install going from Wxp to W7.
