"So I upgraded from Vista, Now What", located in General Discussion

the writer indicated that he had experience working with computers and would never install a new OS on his own computer, because within 6-9 months he would have to reinstall, due to instablity caused by the new installation. I would really like the opinion of other members, before I install 7. Thanks

That's not what I said. I said I would never upgrade an OS and would ALWAYS do a new install over an upgrade. Then I simply stated that Microsoft OS's get bogged down over time, but they seem to be getting better at it. :cool:

He is talking about doing an upgrade of one OS to another (Vista->7)

This is generally not reccomended due to the chance of instability because of the fact that it is an upgrade...

Unless absolutely necessary to upgrade...always do a clean install
