Windows 7: Windows 7 - upgrade or not upgrade?

Hello everyone



I'm considering whether to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. IMHO, the new OS seems to be not sufficiently "mature" yet, and it is better to wait for the first service pack to come out before actually upgrading.


What do you think? Should I upgrade nevertheless?


Thanks in advance

Hi rfe777 and welcome to sevenforums,

i think you will find that a lot of folks here will say that windows 7 has been stable and a good performer for months, even for a long time before official retail release.

there is talk of a upcoming service pack, but it doesn't look as if there will be anything much in it, just a collection of already released updates. nothing like vista...

sure some people have had trouble will their particular hardware and windows 7, and some folks haven't found it easy adjusting to the differences between the two systems, but i think it's safe to say that most users have made the switch and shudder at the thought of going back to xp.

of course, your mileage may vary

mickey says upgrade!

Loving Windows 7 here; I liked XP too and deliberately eschewed Vista. Make sure performance-wise your machine is capable - but should not be a problem

Hello rfe777, welcome to Seven Forums!



Just because it needs to be said; there's no real upgrade path from XP to Windows 7, it'll have to be a clean install. If I were you I'd dump XP and not look back.

Clean Install Windows 7

Another vote to dump XP and go with Seven. I am another of those who chose to bypass Vista and wait for Seven.

Windows 7 gets a big thumbs up from me and i say,YES upgrade,its fantastic

You should not be worried.

Seven works very well. You will be very impressed with what it can do. You don't have to deal with XP's crap anymore. Sure it is stable but it is so out of date and in my opinion becoming very insecure. Also 7 is fast. Even I installed it on a netbook and I just think it runs smoother then XP in just about every way.

I just can't recommend XP anymore to anyone. No real reason to use it anymore unless you have a program you have to use that you know will not work on 7.

XP is unusable compared to Windows 7. Everything is smoother and fun to use on Windows 7.
