"Upgrades" and "bug fixes" are two entirely different things. Microsoft attempts to cloud the picture by using the terms interchangeably so they can charge us for the bug fixes.

I've heard a lot of positive reviews, but for $200, they can @#$%&*. If Windows 7 is what Vista was supposed to be, then replace it...for nothing.

I see OS7 more of an upgrade over Vista then just a bug fix galore. Xp home was 1k times worse when it first came out when you start talking about bugs compared to vista. XP imo became very usable right before they decided to scrap it and move on to vista.

You have until spring 2012. Then you will have to upgrade or hope you don't have any bug or virus problems. Microsoft will stop all support at that time.
I have two laptops with Vista and a desktop with XP. If the desktop is still chugging along in 2012, I will probably just use it for reminder/appointment calendar and games.

Yeah, I read that somewhere. Supposedly because the Mayan calendar ends on that year. Well, heck, according to the calendar on my wall, the earth is going to end on December 31, 2009. That's the last date it shows there....

The last computer I bought in 1997 had windows 95. I don't get any viruses because the code isn't that old.

How on earth is that thing still running? My computers need to go every 4-5 years no matter what because the systems fail to boot up, or they run so slow I can grow a beard waiting for pictures to down load, or some other technical issue creeps up.
