Hello,

I am considering a new machine and can get it with XP installed, but want to
try Windows 7. I have heard good reports about it. Is anyone using it and
can comment about it?

Thank you and God Bless,

Mark A. Sam

7 is fine. A well thought out, highly polished OS. If you're willing to
use and adapt to some minor changes ( new Taskbar ) you'll quickly
come to like using it.
If XP compatibility is one of your concerns you can get Professional
or Ultimate and it comes with XP mode. ( Virtualized XP ).

I don't have Windows 7 on my own computer but I was on a lot of customer
computers on my last job, which ended recently, doing tech support. A good
number of those customers had Windows 7 and we found it quite easy to work
with. Whereas Vista was a pain in the rear for at least the first year due
to any number of problems, Windows 7 seemed to work very well from the very
beginning. Apparently, there was a large beta program for Windows 7 and I
suspect that has made all the difference; all the major bugs were found -
and fixed - BEFORE they released it to the general public.

I don't want to guarantee you a trouble-free experience - computers are just
too complex and there are too many variations in hardware to hope for that -
but you should have a lot less trouble than most Vista users did with
Windows 7.

Thank you for your responses. I'm kind of excited to try it. I know about
Vista. Uggh. What a dog. My client is purchasing a Mac and I'll be
configuring that with Windows7. I'm looking forward to that also, as I have
no experience with a Mac.

Consider Professional as the better choice. Ultimate mainly offers
BitLocker and the additional GUI languages. For me, not the worth the
price. (I have it.)
