I would have thought Dorian would have been more of a Mac guy.

Vista Ultimate 64-bit... Vista isnt "THAT BAD", but then again i installed it about a year ago so i guess by that time all the wrinkles were ironed out... isnt Windows7 coming out the 22nd? i'll just install windows 7 a week after it comes out after they fix the first batch of bugs

I wouldn't mind Windows 7 - I've currently running Vista 32-bit home premium.

Does anyone know how I can upgrade to the new operating system whilst maintaining all my current files?

I use Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP

I have a triple boot configuration on my Acer Aspire One Netbook:

1. Windows 7
2. MacOS Leopard
3. Ubuntu Karmic

The Netbook is connected to a 22" Acer LCD. Desktop extensions works great in all three operating systems.

Windows 7 rocks even on this little netbook. Aero graphics is working great. I am suprised that the netbook can power it's own screen and also the 22" at 1680x1050 pixels. That atom cpu is damn impressive.

My main computer that I am typing on right now is a 8 gigabyte Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Have had it for 3 years now and after all the patches and upgrades from Microsoft it finally runs smooth as hell. I had to jump through hoops though to get the 8 gig stable on my rig (relax memory timings, increase memory voltage)

I just bought a new laptop, so I'm getting a free copy of Windows 7 shipped on the 22nd of this month!

Our design department in my company is using Windows 7 though, I played around with it, seems solid!

At present using Win 7 Ultimate, 7600 for about 3 weeks. Seems OK, so far. Had used another 7's version since late July but it had a limited bases built in. Vista was the reason the 7 series was developed, did not handle that well for a lot of people. XP, for most, handled much better. Gates is still trying to catch up with Jobs, and just about has with the 7's.

Should be no problem upgrading to & and keeping your file. Though the best way would be with a fresh start on your HD. Always carry some garbage when upgrading, it seems. Download the files on a flash drive, if you want to keep and add them later to the new OS.

After 22 Oct, I will load a more updated version of Win7. I have 4 different HD's, with different OS's on them. Might want to check out the Black version of Win 7 if you want more stuff which you probably really do not need anyway.

Thats the question I have, When I come to go from Vista to windows 7, do I do an upgrade? or do I do a clean install?

That's what I've been trying to find out to - I'm in the process of trying to get a simple straight answer through Microsoft's website.

You can as long as your using vista but youll find a load of shit wont work, like was said above always best to do a clean install.
