well as a former XP addicted I have to disagree.
I waited till seven was release to replace my old computer turning on XP. I simply didn't want to go to Vista. Now I love Seven.
All what I used to do in XP, I can still do in Seven.
I do have some old stuff which requires the XP virtual mode, but that's fine and free.
Now with seven, I can do much more that with XP.
So I do not regret my switch. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home made OS Win7 pro 64 CPU Core i5-750 Motherboard GA-P55M-UD4 Memory 4GB Patriot DDR3 Graphics Card ATI RADEON HD5450 Internet Speed DSL |

I read this thread before. I find it funny how a lot of these individuals complain that the interface gets in their way. I have two words for them "Classic View". If they must be so old fashioned, they can use that. For the rest of us who like to live in the 21st century, we'll take Aero.
I notice a lot of complaints mainly because Windows 7 is different and not exactly like XP. These are the people who will tell you "Well, Microsoft should develop something better, something that improves upon Windows XP." They will then follow it up by saying "it should look and feel and be like XP." Basically, the only thing that would suit them is if Microsoft kept releasing service packs for a now woefully outdated OS that's approaching the decade mark in age.
But back to the interface, again, I notice a lot of their completely unfounded complaints are based on the user interface, which makes them less productive. Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand how the user interface in Windows 7 (which you can make look almost exactly like XP if you wish) is counter-productive. They must be drinking the hate-o-rade! A lot of people there say "We want productivity". I'm curious how they define that because again, 7 can look just like XP, 2000, even 98 if you wish. Personally, I was so happy when at my job they upgraded us from XP to 7. I started the initiative by insisting on an upgrade to Vista, which I was given. About three weeks later, we were all on 7 because XP was just far too outdated.
I remember one person who went absolutely insane when he was upgraded from 2000 to XP even with the classic interface, he complained that it was just too different. That's the kind of people these probably are, they saw changes and immediately rejected them and called it an overall bad OS because of these changes. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i3 530 2.93 Ghz Clarkdale Motherboard ASRock P55 PRO/USB3 LGA 1156 Memory 4 GB OCZ DDR3 1600 (PC12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti with 1 GB of RAM Sound Card Realtek HD ALC892 Monitor(s) Displays 20'' eMachines E202HDbmd Glare Panel Widescreen Screen Resolution 1600 x 900 Keyboard Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite Mouse Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite PSU Rosewill Xtreme Series RX750-D-B ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V (750W) Case Cooler Master Centurion 534 RC-534-KKN2-GP Mid-Tower Cooling Standard Case Fans and Stock CPU Heatsink Hard Drives Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Black Edition (7200 RPM) SATA

What's worse is that a lot of these people either used 7 for maybe all of about 5 minutes or never even used it at all and go on ranting and ranting based on others' opinions of Windows 7. But again, if they wish to continue using their outdated OS, that's their choice. It means more business for me because XP is going to become more and more vulnerable as time goes on at least until it flatlines to the point where no one cares. | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 CPU Intel Core i3 530 2.93 Ghz Clarkdale Motherboard ASRock P55 PRO/USB3 LGA 1156 Memory 4 GB OCZ DDR3 1600 (PC12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Graphics Card Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti with 1 GB of RAM Sound Card Realtek HD ALC892 Monitor(s) Displays 20'' eMachines E202HDbmd Glare Panel Widescreen Screen Resolution 1600 x 900 Keyboard Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite Mouse Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop Elite PSU Rosewill Xtreme Series RX750-D-B ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V (750W) Case Cooler Master Centurion 534 RC-534-KKN2-GP Mid-Tower Cooling Standard Case Fans and Stock CPU Heatsink Hard Drives Western Digital 1 TB Caviar Black Edition (7200 RPM) SATA

Windows 7 has improved my efficiency with the computer. Interface has plenty of enhancements that make it smother and faster than XP.
Explorer Address Bar makes moving around folders and drives faster.
Libraries make finding files faster since they are all grouped together.
Those are two that I use a lot.
I personally can't stand to use XP anymore. XP reminds me of Windows 3.1 when I went to Win95. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HAL-9000 OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU Intel i7 3770K Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory 16GB DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3 Graphics Card XFX HD6950 2GB EyeFinity Sound Card Logitech G35 & Sennheiser PC135 & VIA HD Monitor(s) Displays 23" HP 2310e, 23" Samsung B2230, 21.5" Viewsonic Screen Resolution 5760x1080 Keyboard Logitech G15 and G13 Mouse Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse PSU Antec True Power New 650watt Case Cooler Master HAF-932 Cooling Corsair H60 Hydro Cooler, 3x 230mm Fans, 2x120mm Fan Hard Drives 16TB of Storage

Only problem with Windows 7 was with my Midi to USB adapter. There were no drivers and I had to buy a new one.
I still have 2 XP laptops and one with Windows 7. I must say that Windows 7 ROCKS. | My System Specs | | |
