I installed it last weekend, and I've been enjoying it since. From initial impressions it seems like a polished copy of Vista, however I'm sure it's far better, I just haven't had the time to dig around looking for new features.

I'll just say I love Windows 7, can't say much about upgrading from Vista since I went XP PRO>>Windows 7 Ultimate

yup, pretty much vista, with a new name for marketing that was built more recently to take into account what they have learned.

Fortunately vista wasn't too bad.
But really, its another copy of windows. You turn on the computer, it boots for a while, then you run some programs.

I have it on 5 PC, between work and home. It rocks. The older PCs run better too.

BTW, you don't need to format or backup your files. Although doing a backup is a good idea. The only files the install removes from your HD is your programe files folder. it Renames windows folder to windowsold which keeps all you profile documents etc safe.

Ahh, interesting. I have like 1.45tb of files but only ended up copying like... 500gb, so a new OS is another reason to reformat.... every few years you just gotta start with a clean slate ya know?

Bought it, newegg.

So far I really like it. I'm trying to keep my desktop all simple and stuff, I like the large buttons and simple menus... It also seems to work a lot better than Vista as far as how it handles programs and pop up notifications and the like

When it comes to O/S I like to buy the software.

Updates and actual support and not fucking with shit.

I don't care if a few other pirated programs dont work on my computer, I just want the Operating System to work.

I've had too many tech headaches

Yeah $100 is way over the top for an OS you'll use every day for the next decade.

Lol?

I get exactly the same updates as you, and I don't have to talk to some Indian woman who barely understands English for my "Support". I just go on warez-bb and download another copy.

£30 was well worth it for me.

£30 is worth it, £140 per PC isn't.

There is absolutely no need to go to Ultimate.

I only have it because I paid $15
