Hey guys, i currently have 3 computers, 2 are running on Windows XP and one is running on Vista. What is your sense, should, I be planning on upgrading to Windows7. I am a Pro user. I am also very interested in knowing, how are you thinking through the upgrade process. Is there anything very compelling with Windows 7, that we cannot live with? Thanks- greatly appreciate your help

We all agree that upgrading only causes conflicts and leaves hundreds of useless files left on your system from the previous OS.

A " clean " install is the only way to go.

Even if you purchase the final product, Microsoft recommends a "clean" install as well.
