After all, it will be at least a year until Win7 is RTM. If you have access to the pre-beta bits, you might want to play with it in a virtual machine. Certainly you wouldn't put it on a production machine. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

| | Re: Windows 7 upgrade...... If I was running XP at the present time (which I am on one machine) I would not upgrade to Vista...I would skip Vista and wait for Win 7...which I aim to do. No sense spending money on a Operating System that will be replaced in about 10 to 14 months. peter -- If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it.

So anyone who stays on XP now will have as big or bigger issue going to Windows 7 as they would going to Vista, and the Vista users will have a much easier time going to 7. -- Mike Brannigan |
