Personally, I’ll stick with XP for a little while longer. :wink:

I'll wait for Service Pack 1, thank you, or maybe Service Pack 2. Or 3.

Mmmmmm.... any chance ya know the OEM cost for Home?

[Fisher's Mom]

Has anybody installed the Beta for this?

[Sherman]

There are still some chinks in the chain to be worked out with Windows Vista.

[Sherman]

I don't think I'd want to upgrade.

I'm sticking with XP for now at least on the office system. As for my home unit I'm planing early next year on replacing it and then will give Win 7 a shot but will keep my XP in case it doesn't work out.

Both of my laptops have Windows Vista.

It DID have some chinks in the chain, but i think they've all been eliminated now.

I'm not sure how it could be worse than Vista. I'll probably keep XP where I have it upgrade my Vista machines.

I'd be wary, though. Check out this Windows 7 Review (http://www.cracked.com/blog/using-windows-7-may-lead-to-murder/)!
