    I'll let you know in about a week and a half. I'm going away, and upgrading my clients to Win7 after I get back.

    They have a multi-license version...so I did 1 hr free work in exchange for one of the Win7 Installations!

    I get to experiment on my own computer first...LOL.

    I will have to buy Win 7 and they would charge me $40 to intstall, I think I am going to do it! I hate this Vista....

    Linux/Ubunto for me.

    John's oldest son works for Microsoft so the jibes are hysterical.
    Love the Mac/Microsoft commercials!

    WIN7 is a huge improvement over Vista, its like going from Winblows ME to XP. It still has some of the annoying "Are you sure" pop ups but those are easy to disable. I only have one WIN 7 machine so I cant say how easy the Homegroup is for sharing files over your network. My 7 machine and my server arent playing nice together at the moment.

    MS says you need a minimum of 1gig of memory for 7 to work, but I can tell you it works fine with only 512megs.

    If you have an install disc you can strip all the extras you dont need from it using v-lite.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    Johns been running Win 7 since its first beta release and having worked with it, vista and xp side by side I have to say Win 7 is the superior of the three, at least in the 64 bit world. XP 64 gave me nothing but problems on my current set up but Win 7 is performing a lot better.

    I really like 7 overall. Some of the visual properties are annoying but those can be disabled.

    Now that is what I'd like to do but I am not smart enough to intall it myself. They put so much "junk" in them.

    I like all the comments made here about Win. 7 and see that is the way to go.

    DJFyrewolf36, I have a 64 bit system so your comment really caught my eye.

    Thanks for the heads up folks.
