I just started using Windows 7. I've been using Win XP until now.

I guess it's about time. I hear Windows 8 is already getting Beta tested.

Hey TomBrooklyn,

Here is some advice make sure to make a system imaged backup ASAP. I used XP pro for years without problems and installed Windows 7 on my new build and have crashed it 3 times since 2/5/12. Trying to get all of my components to work properly was my problem.
Good Luck to you

Windows 7 is great and I like it very much. You would like it too.

But I think the biggest leap that Microsoft made from one OS to the next was on the release of Windows 2000. I don't know how many would agree with this assessment.
