Does anyone have Windows 7? I just got it for my computer, and think it is great. Everything runs faster, and it is much much easier. Also the Internet Explorer (Sorry AG), that is automatically on your Computer if you have windows 7, blocks pop-ups (Again I'm Sorry AG) and makes sure everything you download/open is safe.

Nah, the upgrade pack is too expensive and we don't feel like buying a whole new computer either.

I'm using a windows vista and it isn't awful so I'll stick with it.

I didn't like vista. Windows xp was better. But my computer broke so we had to refix it. So they gave Windows 7 for only like $50 extra. But we don't have Microsoft Office at all.

tis awful compared t'7.

My old vista had way too many things on it; only 1gb of RAM; and it was a desktop computer. This 7 laptop has just enough things and 4gb of RAM.

As far as I've seen Windows 7 seems to have a very good processing power, not to mention it looks much better as well and doesn't have the glitches that plagued Vista. The best thing about it is that it fully utilizes all the cores on a multi-core system. I have it on my laptop.
However, I use my desktop more, and I have XP on it. It still works best for me even after all these years.

When I get my new PC in about two weeks time, I'm gonna get Windows 7 and I can't wait for it! I'm using XP right now, because Vista was REEEEEAAAAALLLLYYYYY messed up, sorry windows, but it's the truth. It is great that they took a lot of time to develop Windows 7, which reflects on the quality; everything runs a lot smoother, the layout is great and Office has finnaly improved a lot, so I think Windows 7 is probably even better than XP. And I hate Mac, so I'm happy that 7 is a good system

I had Vista for almost two years and thought it was awesome. Then I got Windows 7, and it showed that Vista really wasn't that great of an OS.

Vista was a bad mistake for MS. That's why there are still people sticking with XP. Alas, with Windows 7 out XP will finally be killed off.

Anyway, I'd love to get Windows 7 but I don't have the money to upgrade. I'll just get it when I buy a new computer.
