After I was done, including all my applications, I gained at least 10Gb of disk space that was not taken up by XP updates. Don't get me wrong, I was quite happy with XP and so this was more of an experiment for me. With the way my machine has been acting, I will not be going back to XP as W7 is a winner. For any legacy apps, there is always the free virtual pc app from MS wich works a treat in W7.

Under normal circumstances a company does not make the upgrade from previous products this onerous. Sure, you may have to pony some dough for the next upgrade but not for TWO upgrades at once! Particularly since the Vista upgrade was near non-existent in it's tenure. Microsoft has become a total fraud. Nice try, but no cigar.

I have 6+ years' accumulation of programs and associated updates on my Windows XP system and will have to basically to a "from scratch" install. Of course if I ante up the dough for Vista it will do the usual upgrade which does not blow away my existing settings and programs. Then, so I'm told, I can pony up another batch of shekels for Windows 7 which WILL THEN do a proper upgrade keeping my settings from Vista. That way Microsoft gets a "double-double". Since I'll have to do everything from scratch anyway I'm either getting a Mac or moving to some version of Linux. Maybe Ubuntu which several of my colleagues use and seem reasonably pleased with it. All I've got to say is that I'm definitely over Microsoft. Very convenient.

Since I’ll have to do everything from scratch anyway I’m either getting a Mac or moving to some version of Linux. Maybe Ubuntu which several of my colleagues use and seem reasonably pleased with it. All I’ve got to say is that I’m definitely over Microsoft.

Win 7 ran better than even XP but not quite as good as Windows 2000 Pro.  Did better then Linux and recognized all hardware even the Linksys pmcia wireless card. I was impressed.  I do have a Vista laptop that is on par with my XP laptop in terms of speed.  I have no problems with Vista but may get Win 7 as the Vista Home Premium I have will not network, how stupid can one get, even XP home will do that. In using 2000, XP and Vista, it almost seems as if Vista is a outgrowth of XP where they integrated all the hanging modules into a nice OS.  Win 7 almost seemed like they went back to 2000 Pro that is a light and fast OS compared to XP and did Win 7 from it.  I know they did not but it almost seems to be what happened from the speed.

Not only do they reach more potential customers this way, but also leave their traditional upgrade-scenario behind and all issues that were related with it. My belief is that Microsoft will most likely still get some bashing from XP-users that are not too keen on installing a new OS and all applications they’re running from scratch - but in my opinion this is truly the most optimal scenario. There is no other sustainable solution that would’ve worked better. It’s a very clever move from Microsoft.
