should I upgrade to Windows 7?
 

I've been using Vista for a while now and it works fine for me. However sometimes at the end of long day it does seem to bog down and get a little slow.

Of those of you who have upgraded to Windows 7, does it really make your life that much easier and is it really worth doing?

yes do it

yes... just be prepared. many things will not work like you want at first and google is then your friend

Yes :thumbsup

I'll stick to Vista. it's working stable for now

The main stuff I use every day is openoffice, dreamweaver, photoshop, email, Digsby and few other things. Are there any particular things you had issues with not working correctly?

vista sucks, 7 is definitely better.

photoshop was fine, email thru outlook was fine, not sure about the others.

The biggest software problem I had was autocad which just didn't work at all and forced to buy the updated version...

Cool thanks for the info. I think I am going to do the upgrade. Sometimes I just worry that I am going to move up and hate it. I moved from Win 98 to ME and felt the pain. Ever since I have been a little gun shy :)

windows 7 is much better, google is your friend. One of the things that irritated me the most was the search function not working to find text within files... I found the answer just took me a couple hours. By default, it does not index your files on hardrive, you have to change settings manually.

Overall though... much better OS then XP, vista and others :thumbsup

Yes you should.

fuck yes

I hesitated for a long ass time. XP was a hard habit to break. Been on Win 7 since I upgraded to a new laptop a few months ago. Not bad.

No .

yes, yes... you should...

What is it you don't like?

Yes, you should upgrade.

for me, I think the philosophy "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies, no matter how good Windows 7 is, there will be some issues when you upgrade, so you end up spending time upgrading some software or dealing with different drivers needed, etc.

Still on XP Pro on everything here and no plans to change that any time soon.

Arch Linux!

Yes, I upgraded on all my computers and I love it.

yes, win7 is stable and rocking!

Its time to move :)
You should be happy

Seven is the only number you need :) Windows 7 rocks!

I recommend you to upgrade.
I got a Home edition for my notebook, and plan to upgrade to the best possible version... Anyone knows if its possible w/o re-installing the OS and paying online for the upgrade?

Using Vista is like still driving a 74 Datsun because it 'still works'.

Seriously, anything that old in computer technology is ancient. You know this (anyone posting here should).

You need to at least try it judging from the replies here, most people were happy they did.

Vista suck you should be with 7 already....

It's better than Vsita, but I don't like the kindergarten interface and the fact that explorer hides half of the important stuff for you.

Windows XP Pro X64 is still the best out there!

Yes, you should upgrade to Windows 7 at once

Yes, you should :)

Vista drove me to Mac.

Windows 7 brought me back.

much faster, more reliable vs. vista and windows xp.

much less annoying with the UAC too.

love windows 7 -- it's what vista SHOULD have been.

I have some systems on W7 but I still prefer XP. EVERYTHING workes perfectly on XP and I know how to fix just about any issue that pops up.

neg rep for you

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I never thought I would say such thing BUT
Windows 7 rocks!

Yes, yes...10 fucking times yes.

Compared to past Windows OS, its a masterpiece.

It is pretty cool.

:2 cents: some things are different, renewing ips etc

also i had some trouble with hardware/drivers at the beginning

Have you applied ServicePack 1 to Vista? If you do, it will fix most of the difference between Vista and Win7

Windows 7 is pretty good. I use it on my work PC, still have Vista on my laptop which is fine as well. Won't bother upgrading that, I'll wait till I need a new laptop before I go to Windows 7.

it's pretty good, but not really worth paying for an upgrade... I would wait for the next version of windows... :2 cents:

Win7 rocks, man. do it.

are ya krazy insaaaaaane? Windows XP or bust.

ppl still are on xp.. jesus go 7 ...
