Summary: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Comment: I think this was a good deal and the Windows 7 product is a very good item works real well and a lot better than what the Vista ever did. I haven't had any kind of problem with it and it downloaded fast and clean.

Summary: install disk or upgrade ??
Comment: I ordered this (Win & Home Premium) to do a clean install (no previous operating system). It seemed to work but the activation key kept not working, with a wrong product error code. since nothing on Amazon, or the packaging, indicated this was an upgrade disk (and the Amazon price was non upgrade retail version price), i was in a quandry as to the activation errors. after contacting Microsoft and Amazon, it appears the product they sent me was an upgrade disk. since neither the order info or the received package were labeled as an upgrade, it is a bit disconcerting. the product should be clearly labeled as an upgrade to avoid confusion. as always, Amazon was extremely helpful and the correct verion is on its way just make sure what version you are ordering !!

Summary: Windows 7: The Next-Generation XP
Comment: I have used every Microsoft OS since DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.1. Until now my favorite was Windows 2000. XP was pretty solid (after service pack 2) except for all of the security holes. Every time I would need to fix an XP machine it wasn't because of something wrong with the OS itself, but because the machine had virus/spyware/trojans etc. Enter Vista. MS fixed most of the security problems but did so at the expense of performance and stability. Now with Windows 7 you get the best of both worlds. XP was released in 2001 and hardware has come a long way since then, but the OS itself remained relatively static and could only take advantage of newer hardware at a basic level. Vista was an improvement and Windows 7 handles it better still.
I think Vista, although I had few problems with it, will go down as ME 2.0. At the same time Windows 7 will be XP 2.0. People will cling to it and MS will have to kill it off before people will move on to it's next offering, whatever that may be.
With that said I would highly recommend that both XP and Vista users upgrade. Unlike previous upgrades you will actually get better performance and use less resources post-upgrade. A first for MS. Security is rock solid. If XP is swiss cheese, then Win 7 is the wall of China. You no longer have to download the "patch of the day" from Windows Update. I haven't played around with Media Player, but Media Center is great for watching DVDs and remains pretty much unchanged from Vista. My favorite features are Jump Lists, AERO Snap (for working in two windows side by side). Networking is a bit easier (especially compared to XP). Performance is much improved from Vista and is comparable to or even faster than XP. Calculator, Paint, and Wordpad have been updated. If you are upgrading from Vista you do lose a couple of progams, namely Windows Mail and Photo Gallery. Updated versions can be downloaded from Windows Update for free. The only downside is that upgrading from XP requires a clean install.
As far as the upgrade process itself goes, it's painless. Just be sure to run the upgrade advisor before you do. All that's required of you is a product key (at the end of the installation) and activation. So all you have to do is pop the disc in, grab a good book, and before you know it you're in computing heaven.

Summary: 7 a mess
Comment: its death by a thousand cuts again. I just tried to copy a thumb drive ono my PC, and was told I need Administrator privilege. M'soft has got a huge problem that is not solvable by new releases: they need to run on many hardware platforms and legacy file formats. They are the victim of "combinatorial explosion" beyond their control. That, plus the virus-spyware problem, initiated my labor-saving action:
I just bought a Mac.

Summary: A much needed improvment.
Comment: I will keep it short and sweet. If you want to get technical their are better reviews to read. I have been plagued with problems from Vista OS. When I switched to Windows 7 98% of the problems went away. My laptop ran nice and smoothly with close to NO error or issues. Yes I still have minor issues here and there, very minor, all OS do. But compared to Vista, Windows 7 is a walk in the park. It looks pretty much the same to me as Vista does, but there are some minor differences, it will definitely take a week to learn it all so it becomes second nature. My big thing is not being able to find my open windows at the bottom of the desk-top which is a pain. There are more icons down there that I need to familiarize myself with, not much other than that.
If you currently run Vista, make the switch! It will make a big difference. If you run XP and it is working for you I wouldn't bother wait till you buy a new computer, XP was a good OS. I have two laptops with Windows 7 and a PC with XP, there pretty compatible so I will run XP till the PC dies.
My only issue, which has nothing to do with Windows 7 in itself. Microsoft should of offered the upgrade free to consumers who purchased a computer with Vista OS up to a year out from the Windows 7 release, instead of the month out they honored. That was pretty cheap as they new the issues Vista was having well before than and pushed the product regardless. When you buy a PC you don't have much choice of your OS, so many people got screwed and had to pay the $100+ to upgrade. If I had an option to have XP or Vista, I would of chose XP and saved myself the hassle.
