Summary: it didn't work on my two computers
Comment: The upgrade is not an upgrade. After starting the process of upgrading, the machine tole me that I cannot upgrade. I would have to delete all I've got and start from zero... GOOD BY WINDOWS, HELLO MACINTOSH. In 1994 (15 years ago) I had better experience upgrading my Mac than my PC today. I don't understand why PC is so behind.

Summary: WOW! Magnificent piece of crap! Looks and Feels like a last nail in MS coffin!
Comment: Words can't describe this redressed Vista's cheap bloated crapware! I got it preinstalled with my new HP's laptop. I mean WOW, it is an example of what is going on with corporative America in general: inefficient, sloppy and mostly ignorant. I can understand when software suffers from bugs, but to produce such a bundle of junk by design, it takes real misdirection and effort. Use to be Windows was simple, flawed but manageable. This monster that tries so hard to mimic Mac is miserable in all regards, just pitiful.
It all looks feels, behaves like an offense to an intelligence. Microsoft produced in W7 a real masterpiece of outsourced Indian engineering. I was advocating NT technology some 15 years ago as an alternative path for simplified computing, it is shame and misery what MS did to outstanding product that they took over from DEC long time ago. I can't belief that this company, that in 90x was a flagship of accessible computing turned to be such a junk producer.
I installed XP on it only because I need it for a robot controller program that does not run in Linux. WOW I'm really impressed by this junk. Still can't believe that we ran so low by now.

Summary: I Like Win 7
Comment: Smooth OS with great little features. No cashes or hang-ups. Did not up-grade very well, had to do a new install, but was pleased that it baked up my old windows files in a folder call windows.old (If you have a lot on your old OS you will need a large hard drive to install the new system.) But so far the new OS is running smooth.

Summary: Good
Comment: I have been with 32-bit vista so long I couldn't wait to upgrade to Windows 7. After hearing good reviews on the upgrade and transition to win-7 I decided to take the plunge....while it may sound simple, in reality it just doesn't work that way all the time.......there are some basic things that needs to be done beforehand:
1. Turn off your antivirus software ( this is written on the instruction manual and so I did it before installing )
While upgrading I realized that on the last portion which is the transfer of files, programs and services....the process just hanged.....it just stopped at 62%....I had to shut down the PC and when it restarted it says....upgrade was unsuccessful and automatically the PC is reverted back to Windows Vista on its own...I think that feature is neat....when I checked for solutions...I noticed this problem to be quite common...one suggestion was to also turn off the firewall.....
2. Turn off the windows firewall ( this did not come as instructed on the win7 upgrade manual )...
I reinserted the upgrade CD for the 2nd time and restarted the process...but again it hanged and just stopped on the last step of the process....at this point I thought that this could be due to some of the programs I have on my PC and so I decided to reset it back factory settings.....and when it was done I restarted the program upgrade and Lo and Behold....I was prompted that it cannot proceed unless the vista program I have has the SP-1 update....so now I have to download this 434MB SP-1 before I could proceed....I wish microsoft engineers did their homework and provided this on the upgrade kit......I am sure it could be done just to ease up the process.......downloadin from the internet can take some time.....
I did the same process on my home PC which was a 64bit vista version and after resetting it to factory fresh the upgrade was smooth as silk and when it was done....Ohhh I just loved this new OS........it's fast, very organized and just plain and simple witty....at least microsoft engineers did their homework on this OS...and I can see a lot of skeptics jumping into this new OS in the next few months......so far so good!!
I really like the search portion (click start button and type your query on the dialog search box) where automatically it responds and gives the choices as you type each letter.......and when you are done typing what you are looking for, all the choices are already in front of you...no more waiting....very good indeed....
