So,
I'm an XP person, hated Vista (well Ilike aspects of the interface but hated so much else that I switched back to XP) but now I'm trying Windows 7. Figured I'd post my thoughts up here and any like minded people can do the same ... can't stop you (actually I suppose I can as a mod, shrug) but please, please, please don't make this a "my OS is better than your OS" thread, it's meant to inform not flame.
First impressions, W7 is slick ... much slicker than Vista but still has many of its better features. Seems to have borrowed aspects of its look 'n feel from OS-X & Linux (OK by me, I think they all do it to some degree).
I've managed to reach my favourite forum from within Windows 7 ... it goes without saying that I'm using Firefox. 'Spose I should see what IE8 is like, but it can wait ... not been much of a fan of IE for quite a while, really only use it for the odd site that really can't handle Firefox.
Some issues but it's a beta so OK (also I believe you can't bow to legacy programs forever, sometimes progress means sorting the wheat from the chaff).
More later.
