I am very happy with the program, it is much faster, I upgraded from Windows xp, the bad part is there is no driver available to install for my HP wireless printer to work. Hoping one wil be avaiable soon

I used Vista from its initial release. The start was a bit rocky, but eventually it worked pretty well for me. I am totally pleased with the upgrade to Windows 7. The installation went without a hitch. There are many features that allow me to personalize my working environment. I have some visual impairment, so the ability to increase font sizes (Make it easier to read what's on your screen) allows me to now run my monitor in native resolution mode and still be able to read things okay. I used to have to run in 800 X 900 resolution. Programs load and run faster than ever.

I was lucky and purchased it through amazon in June for 50% off (pre-order). I got two upgrades - one for my laptop running Vista with 3GB ram and one for desktop running Win7 RC with 1GB ram.
Both Vista Upgrade as well as desktop clean install were very smooth, system is very stable - after a month of use no blue screen of death yet. It's a bit faster than Vista and I really like the new taskbar and simplified menus.
so far I'm very happy

I love the improvements in this edition vice XP and Vista. I also like the fact that if you do choose to convert back to your old programs it gives you the option before starting the program. It allows you to use the older programs to complete documents and play games that have not made it to Windows 7 yet. The 7 also maximizes screen display by not showing all those desktop folders that we love to click on at a glance which improves performance. My older version printers and hardware had no installation problems.
Much better than Vista! "Dual Boot" November 21, 2009

I can remember when Vista first came out. I was probably the first fool to buy it. I ran a dual boot using xp and vista.
Well, I never used Vista after the first annoying week. It was slow and irritating.
When Windows 7 arrived, I installed it over Vista and to my surprise I did not have to re-install files to let XP boot up again.
This sufisticated windows "finally" accepts a dual boot system!
Now I am using windows 7 more than my old buddy "XP".
The only scare I had was windows "mail" or "outlook express" was not loaded. I did download it after windows 7 installed and it found all my e-mail files and address book as well.
The only thing I had to upgrade was my Dell printer.
I will still keep XP as some older games do not work in windows 7, even by using the compatibility wizard, but I found the new upgrade to be worth the money.
Certain things, like the mouse buttons, etc. can be tweaked and changed in windows 7 and the help and search blow XP away!
For the average user, I recommend buying a system with Windows 7 already installed. For those who are using XP and are happy with it, keep it till you upgrade to a new computer.
