Microsoft Windows 7 is here and available for purchase, but even though Windows Vista can be annoying in some cases, tech support experts do not recommend to upgrade to the novelty straight away. Microsoft will find a way to make its new operating system even better in several months time and it may not make a lot of sense to cope with potential problems just now.
Rescuecom, a well-known tech-support firm, has presented five reasons why consumers should not install Windows 7 right now, but rather wait for a couple of months.
It is rather clear that Windows 7 does have a number of advantages over Windows Vista. However, it is not evident that those advantages truly improve productivity and enable completely new experience. All in all, one should understand at least one thing before upgrading: the reasons for this upgrade.
“In these tough economic times, every expenditure should be strategic and give you the best bang for your buck. Our business philosophy is to work closely in partnership with our customers for long-term PC solutions that will avoid costly computer repair. Helping them make savvy buying decisions is just part of smart ongoing computer use and maintenance,†said Mr. Kaplan.

- 1. Let Microsoft work out the bugs. Microsoft's help forums are already flooded with questions and complaints from users having installation problems. It is always safer to wait for the first service pack to work out any glitches.
- 2. Upgrading has its risks. The chances of complications are always greater when you upgrade your existing PC with a new OS.
- 3. Drivers can be an issue. The smart move is to wait for hardware manufacturers to come out with drivers designed for Windows 7.
- 4. Is Windows 7 really a good fit? Will Windows 7 really benefit you?
- 5. $150 is $150. A Windows 7 family pack is about $150 right now, but will it be a good investment?
