Why should I upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 ?

I have been using Vista for about 14 months. Maybe, I just use it for web
browsing and office applications, I don't have any major problem with Vista.

I just wonder what is the benefit of upgrading to Windows 7 (Needless to
say, MS highly recommends).

I would like to seek your advice.

Thanks

I'm keeping Vista because I have no real problems. As a non-networked
computer with a shared DSL connection, it more than fills my needs and
has more bells and whistles than I use. Plus, it works great.

My old OEM Win98SE worked great, too, even after I replaced it with a
new OEM Vista, so I donated it to a local school boy without one. I
expect to do the same in another 6 or 7 years.

Re: Why should I upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 ?

1. Microsoft needs/wants the money
2. You want to give Microsoft the money.
3. You want to experience potentially disastrous loss of programs and
personal files in the upgrade
4. If you are using even a one month old laptop, let alone anything older,
you want to spend days/weeks hunting down drivers.
5. You prefer futzing with the OS to actually accomplishing work on your
computer.
6. You are bored.
7. You want to find out what a service pack that sells for the cost of a new
OS is like.
8. You want to reward Microsoft for maintaining absurd price points when the
cost of computer hardware, hardware that incalculably exceeds the quality of
the software that runs on it, has exponentially improved with each new
generation at ever more competitive price points.

Ditto to the above, I have one computer on XP and one on Vista, both
computers are under 18 months old and not a problem with either
installation.

I'll second that. I upgrade my computers OS once per 5 or 6 years. After
the latest "platform upgrade" from yesterday my Vista is flying.

Why waste money and time with Windows7?

With Windows 7:

Some applications such as Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre have
been improved.

You can now print to a fax. (i.e. send a word, or any other, document as a
fax.)
