I LOVE XP! I didn't really want to get Win7, but I wanted to take advantage of DX11 and in the future more games will be 64bit (I hope...) I think it is faster then XP was. Althou it's a fresh install so time will tell :)

The is the most stable, solid, and secure Microsoft OS release to date. Would definitely recommend to any PC enthusiast over XP. Actually runs faster on my i5 machine than XP does (including start up times). No reason for anybody to get the Ultimate edition unless you are looking to get specific features like BitLocker.

Windows 7 is a major improvement of Windows Vista. Less bugs, less BSoD. Everything is better. I think I prefer it to even Windows XP.

I love Windows 7. I have been using Windows XP for so very long, even when Vista came out because it was such a powerful OS. Windows 7 has definitely taken the lead though, and it is about time. You will love this new OS compared to XP and Vista (or older versions if you still use them). One feature I use quite a bit is the start menu 'search' feature. It searches your whole computer for files and commands; also serves as a 'Run' promt. 64 bit is always nice, although I haven't found a HUGE noticeable difference from it. One thing I don't like is that my dad still uses XP and Windows 7 doesn't have very good media sharing and sharing in general between the two OS's. Maybe its just me and I haven't figured it out yet.

I love the operating system it helps me deal with the pain of the customer betrayal with Windows forcing upon as Vista. It has a nice clean color schemes and interfaces. My only want is for them to bring back the Windows XP style of control panel, the way Windows has made the control panel is like how Mac makes theirs, aka makes them conform to the wishes of the PC instead of the user and the user being unable to change important things easily. I would rather chop of my leg and eat before I switch to a Macintosh system because I hate how they make to conform to their systems and not allow to to change ANYTHING. If windows become like that in the future, well there's always Lynx...

This is a million times better than Vista. It is much easier to use than XP. There are still a few products that are having compatability issues (ex: WD TV live) but I'm sure these will be ironed out in the future.

Installation was much faster and simpler than Xp or Vista, so far very few compatibility issues. System start up is much faster. Windows Mail has been removed, probably a ploy to promote Windows Live Mail. It's not quite as smooth looking as Vista was but it seems a lot more stable.

Overall I think Win7 is a massive failure on Microsoft part. Many people stayed away from Vista because they like XP more, while other were switching over to macs. Microsoft should of learnt from that lesson and made win7 as powerful and configurable as WinXP. I hate how I need third party apps to fix simple things like taskbar look. Or how even simple stuff like "detailed view" in the control panel is now missing. Or how MS changed things around for no reason, like default behavior of ctrl-alt-del.

Bought this for my wifes machine along with a 60GB Vertex SSD. It's an unbelievable increase in speed and resposiveness compared to XP on a mechanical drive! Win 7 is much more polished that Vista, uses less resources and is generally faster and more efficient all the way around. No complaints here so far, very stable.

What can I say? I'm impressed. It a huge step up from Vista. In time it'll overtake Windows XP as Microsoft and this will be the definite version of Windows.
