A question for the V7 r-c testers/users: if you had to go back to Win XP what fetures of Win 7 would you miss the most.

Other than that the thing you have to accept is a completely new menu system which you will either love or hate

I don't see value in upgrading any of my XP systems, but I have a newish box ready for it - currently running the RCx64.

I would never dream of putting Vista on it.

I often think that I could do all that I want on a computer if I still had Windows 98. However, being a first computer, eventually it wore out (a bit quicker than it should have probably due to my ineptitude) and went to XP, which was good, especially as by then I had learned how to look after my computer a bit better.
Had Vista early on because I fancied a change and wanted a laptop. It's been no trouble at all but shan't be upgrading to Windows 7 as it really would be a waste of money, particularly as I am happily engaged with learning how to use the Linux OSs properly.
I suppose a (pragmatic) starting point for making a decision might be what would you want to do on it that you can't do now on XP? If there is nothing in it then it still might be nice to get it just for the fun, learning and experience because that's what life is about really.

I certainly have never been an early upgrader - normally waiting at least for SP1 or even SP2 - but eventually one has to make a move or support dies.

Quote from: Oldjim because they can't manage an upgrade which doesn't have IE8 built in in the time-scale
If it doesn't have a browser built in how do you download a browser (or anything else) on a new install - do you have to make sure you have a installation program on a cd/dvd

Forgive me for a being a Linux bore (alas, I am rapidly becoming one), but in my very brief time of using the OS there doesn't seem to be much in Windows that I can't do in Ubuntu. Admittedly, though, I am a pretty basic computer user - might be different for other more demanding folk. It's one of the reasons why I shan't be dashing off to purchase Windows7 - no need really.
