Thumbs up Windows 7

Who is using it and what do you think?

Personally I love it, it is what Vista should have been. VERY fast to start and all my applications and games run better than Vista by far.

Lets hope Microsoft gives the peeps who bought Vista a deal to upgrade when the time comes.

I've been using it for a few months, I like it. Hopefully Vista goes away soon

But seriously, hopefully MS can give you guys something better than Vista.

My Bud has it running on his Intel/Mac he was surprised how easy it was, he was expecting driver issues but had none.

Yeah right. I said that when I had Win 98
They will phase out XP and then no updates.

I've been using Vista since I bought my computer, and it's been waaaaaaay better (and exceptionally more stable) than any computer I've spent any time on that used XP.

That said, I'm buying a Mac very soon. And this is the first I've heard of Windows 7... thanks for the heads up!

HUHH??? Vista crashes and hangs more than any OS in the past. XP was way better IMO
