About Windows 7, I was talking with a friend at M$ and looks like the next great OS from them will be great! He said that if you are on Vista now the migration will be no problem. Because if you are on Vista: then your computer meets the basic requirements, but it may not meet the best requirements for Vista.
Because you have the latest and best hardware but you will have to be sure your system has the best video card and at least 2 to 4 gigs of memory.
If not they still offer the compatibility program to see if your computer meets the minimum requirements for Windows 7. MS has kept the old code for backward compatibility and its millions lines of old bloat code.
It looks like Windows 7 is just another Vista with a new name. I am trying to get a copy of it to install and test it out with my home network. I have two XP computers, one Win98 and two Linux computers (one Ubuntu and one SUSE). I also run two laptops with XP but those are guarded and protected from updates and off the web unless I need to access it.
I will not update to Windows 7 and if this is all MS has to offer I will stay with open source software.
To let every one know I have been MS person for years I have used every thing from 3.11 for work groups, Win95, Win98 and every thing after.
I also have used Apple, UNIX, Sun and most of the free Linux software.
I run vista on a test computer but still can not use a HP printer or my new Cisco router because there is no drivers for it yet
