Excellent upgrade
Pros: Operating System
So glad we purchased the upgrade for Windows 7. It is so much better than Vista. Easy enough to install and works great. Wish I could afford to upgrade all the computers I use...

excellent buy
Pros: Operating System, Price Point
Cons: Load Time
I am running the beta version Ultimate and this version is lacking bit locker which I use. the good thing is that though you can't encrypt new disk it will still unlock the ones you have encrypted.
Sleep work great and computer will awake with in seconds.
win tv works better than on any earlier version in fact it works great.
new hardware is found and installed easily without any disk involved. good for when you pick up something like I did a wireless keyboard but I plugged it in and windows 7 found all the drivesr it needed with out any help from me.
the thing I don't like is the single license.

Welcome changes to Windows
Pros: Operating System
The changes in Windows 7 appear minor visually when compared to Vista, but the reduced security warnings (when moving files etc.) and reduced desktop clutter is very much welcomed. Install was smooth.

Windows 7
Pros: Operating System, Price Point, it's not vista, problem step recorder
Cons: takes a little longer to boot (for me), still too many versions, graphics still aren't as slick as os x
Windows 7 is Microsoft's best version of Windows. So far, in my testing, it has performed almost flawlessly. As a Mac user, I'm happy to see MS finally challenge OS X. This is what keeps Apple from getting complacent. I haven't used all of the Win7 features but what I've used has worked great. Less overhead than Vista and I was able to install it on my Acer Netbook. With full Aero graphics. I highly recommend Win7 to anyone who currently has Vista and a PC that'll run it. The only thing I would recommend is doing a fresh install instead of an upgrade.

So far, Really Excellent Product
Pros: Number of Licenses, Operating System, Price Point
Cons: easier with vista
This product is really working well with my computer. It took longer than any other installation, but once completed, it was a dream. You do need Vista to upgrade, but it walks you through the steps if you have XP. I really like this product and recommend it to anyone who has Vista to upgrade to Windows 7.

Wait
Pros: Price Point, stability, user interface
Cons: System Requirements, won't work with older peripherals, long install time if upgrading from xp
If you didn't pre-order, wait until installation issues have been solved for upgrades from XP. Mine took a 6 hour phone conversation with tech support in India because it hung up on the "starting windows" screen-for two hours. Turns out the OS was trying to write onto my 3GB of RAM instead of my hard disk. I had to remove all but 1 GB. My older graphics card caused additional hangs, but the Windows 7 compatability checker didn't tell me I could solve these with an update of the intel chipset beforehand. All it said was I wouldn't be able to use aero. 32 bit version still won't read more than 4 GB of RAM. I don't know if that is physically impossible or just an oversight.
If you have Vista and use the web-filter, don't switch if the want to continue using it. 7 has no-built in filter and doesn't link to any free imports. Instead it uses an IE based filter. I'm not sure if that even works if you use Mozilla or Opera.
My older HP all-in one psc2210 doesn't have a driver that works with windows 7. Check their website beforehand. I really miss that HP software and the new stuff that works through windows live doesn't let me move photos around on a page and/or adjust sizes before printing. It only offers standard print sizes.
With that said, the system is very stable once you get it up and running. Sound and graphics card errors were stashed under the white flag and didn't cause shut-downs, and the links to solutions worked to resolve both. Streamlined look with easier accessibility yet not so different as to cause confusion.

Windows 7 upgrade
Cons: number of licenses
The installation was very easy. Our computer is less than a year old, and upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista has made it start up faster and programs seem to open faster. I am happy I upgraded. I was disapointed to find out it is only good on one computer.

I drank the KoolAid
Pros: performance
Cons: upgrade installation reliability, cost
I tried installing this upgrade on my computer, but there was something about my computer the upgrade didn't like, so it kept crashing. I did a "custom" install instead which gave me a wonderfully clean installation of Windows 7. This worked perfectly. In fact, it bundled up my old Windows installation for me and left it available so I could still access settings files and other content. My computer seems happier. It's running a bit better and the fresh installation got rid of a few odd bugs from Vista HP.

Make the move to Windows 7
Pros: Operating System, installation assistance, Features
Cons: need a good video card
I loaded a pre-release version of Windows 7 on my home computer this week. I expected to spend forever recording all the programs I had, moving data and restoring my settings. Windows 7 has utilities that do it ALL. It also moves everything back when you have upgraded the OS and restores all your settings.
If you have multiple Internet windows open you bring your mouse over the little icon on the bottom task bar and it shows you miniature views of each window.
Brilliant.

Love this OS
I have been running Win7 since the public beta. I am now on the Release Candidate. Both have been very stable and a much better OS than XP or Vista. I didn't even bother with Vista but I plan on upgrading all three of my computers to this OS.
