Vista to Windows 7

Hi

Has anybody upgraded from vista to 7 & is it worth it, I'm v tired of the vista slowness. I use briefcase to keep a set of documents upto date between my home comp & my laptop. when i open the briefcase on my laptop to work on a document it takes 12 minutes to open the file so i can use a document, this is v annoying. Will 7 be quicker than vista. I use a acer 2930 with 2.0 core 2 duo, 2 gig memeory so its not an old system


Thanks

Yes, and yes. It boots faster, opens office faster, uses less resources, and is rock solid. Think I like it <g>

Windows 7 is much faster at deleting large amount of files off hard drives from my experiences even with the earlier beta versions. Vista would sit there and chug away like it was pull a 2 ton bowling ball behind it.

I have read on other threads that 7 is quicker at start up & shut down, but is it quicker at opening folders, as 12 minutes to open my briefcase folder is ridiculous, & v v v annoying my main reason for upgrading would be to speed up thinks like folder opening.
