I'll be waiting until they start getting the inevitable bugs and vulnerabilities worked out of it first.

Several people I know have been using the beta release.

I'm going to upgrade when I purchase a SSD for my games machine. :-)

Vista is an abortion and an affront to humanity. It must go.

Post by: Toastedturningtidelegs on November 11, 2009, 07:30:33 AM: I actually have a brand new copy of it but am a little nervous about installing it. I shut the updates for Vista off when I got my new laptop because I heard that if you left them on the updates would erase your settings and everything you did previously on the laptop. Wondering if that will be a problem when installing Windows 7?
