No thank you. I'm happy with XP.

Another one who will hang on to the bitter end. I did with Windows 98. They pulled me kicking and screaming from my hard drive that had 98 on it. I struggled, bit and pulled with all my might to fight those XP thugs. In the end, they won. For me it was a great thing because XP was so much better than 98. Then, it was time to give up my security blanket known as XP. I did not stuggle much. It was time to take the leap. Vista was around the corner

..RUN! So, I got a machine that could feed the power hungry Vista and all was well in the land. I love Vista. So new and shiny. All kids of neat crap. I never have a problem with it. Seriously considering not going to 7 at all. I do not see a big difference. So, the moral of this story...sometimes the grass is greener on the other side.

Well, i have tried Vista and it sucks camel fur. Win7 looks like a winner, though. They main thing stopping me is that I hear Arma 2 runs bad on it.

after trying Win 7 RTM for a few weeks im going to pass, great OS has a lot of better things than XP and beats Vista. But i have a Vlite installation of Win XP where i disabled a lot of old worthless stuff during the installation, grinded down to perfection faster than a speeding bullet

(eg PF usage 29mb, this xp can run on a machine that has 32mb of ram!) that I'll be sticking to it for a few more years.

One thing I really like in 7 was zero loading time on startup no waiting for your apps to load up.
