Windows 7 is 10x faster and secure than windows XP.
+ as all core 2 duo CPU are 64 bit , i will say just install windows 7 64 bit to have an added advantage in terms of stability.

Try it atleast once and you will love it

Speaking of Vista, i never had any problems , neither i found it resource hungry. It too fits my bill.

For the record I am still stuck with windows XP home edition. I did upgrade to vista but then reverted back to XP as I did'nt like it that much.

Does Windows 7 have anything special that windows XP doesnt?
Windows 7 has many new features.it supports 4GB RAM and Direct X 11!!!!
but It supports 4GB+ RAM ONLY when you have any core2Duo CPU which are 64 bit.
ya i am also on xp pro.thinking to have a windows 7 upgrade.

Extract from my earlier post.
Also Link from Microsoft regarding UPG to Windows7 given.

Quote:
Windows 7 system requirements are very similar to those of Windows Vista, and users running Vista shouldnt have much problems upgrading to Windows 7.

Here are the base system requirements for Windows 7:

* 1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) CPU
* 1GB RAM for 32-bit OS, 2GB RAM for 64-bit OS
* 16GB hard disk free space for 32-bit OS, 20 GB for 64-bit OS
* DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver............

It is Eye candy of Vista like the nice and shiny GUI with the speed of XP imo.

Also I have been using 7 from the beta days
I used the beta(the 68xx build)

The RC (build 7100)
And the RTM (build 7600)

And now the retail version is being downloaded.:P

And I dont feel like going back to XP and definitely not vista.

7 rules unless you like Linux.

Wow, i'm up for buying Win 7 Home Premium for sure then! I was paying $199 to get it shipped from US through a friend. I would gladly support Microsoft India.

Wow a 40 percent discount would make me more inclined to buy it. I talked to an eBay seller and he is selling the Win7 Home Premium for Rs.7100. This is the proper boxed version, not the OEM. And he said i have to preorder it now, delivery is around November 20th. That sucks big time!

not this time i think..i will wait for the price to go down or possibly a discounted one... and of course i have to heard good feedback yet from the other users as well..before buying it to be sure..

great! its what i need right now ! at least i can choose what to purchase and the likes..just curious though what did you choose? i mean the price you pay for your new OS?
