Anyone regret moving to Windows 7?

Well how else do you expect? Lots of us here know precisely how well Windows 7 works. To me, it is perfection. I really don't care that Microsoft makes it. It could be aliens for all I care.

And then we help as best we can for people with problems, because we know that in most cases, it is user that is doing something wrong and not OS.

And then we are faced with, "I'm running to Apple." And we are left with a dilemma of trying to decide if we should let you guide yourself in error or give a last ditch effort to help.

Of my 18 years on earth, that's one of the best pieces of advice i have ever heard, well said torrentg, couldn't have said it better myself.

I used Vista Home Premium 64 bit because that's what was pre-installed on my laptop. Because it was already at SP1 I found it to be fairly usable with only a couple of minor quirks. Those quirks were ironed out by SP2 and I was pretty happy with Vista from that point on. I am running Win 7 Pro now and really like it. I have about 30 less processes running and overall the laptop seems snappier. There will be a learning curve, but there always is when switching operating systems. I've had no software or driver issues, although I know some people have. Overall I'm satisfied with 7 and have no regrets about switching.

NEVER looked back......

im getting more & more ppl contact me now saying how much they love ''Windows 7'', & even more ringing me up wondering if its worth the upgrade from ''vista'', to which i reply.....''YES'', especially for standard H/W.... enthusiasts rigs handle vista perfectly well but ''Windows 7'' delivers that performance all the way down the H/W scale.

OK, since you guys obviously have much more expertise in these matters than I do, and a lot of what you say makes sense, you have convinced me to give Windows 7 a go.

Some have said I do not need to upgrade to Ultimate. I currently have Vista Ultimate 32-bit. When I run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, it tells me my only upgrade choice is to Ultimate. Is that true?

Hello maryomalley, welcome to Seven Forums!


If you're used to Ultimate why not ease the 'learning curve' and stay with Ultimate?

I liked Vista, I like 7 more.
