XP and Vista or W7 i can understand but not Vista and W7 as a duel boot.

I did a clean install of W7 onto my Vista laptop last night. It is the easiest version of Windows I have ever installed. It did not need any help other than the password for the wireless network and the graphic card driver.

Why bother with Windows 7? Better try Linux (Ubuntu, Fedora, SuSE etc.) they totally FREE, no virus/spyware free, free support via online communities and fun to use. You can even load whole OS in your pocket [ie USB drive]

how do you find your password for graphic card driver? i only bought my laptop on saturday and have sent off for the upgrade disc from vista premium to w7 premium. I thought it would be a simple upgrade for me - ie shove disc in, press go a few times!! the laptop didnt come with any recovery discs so am really nervous doing it!

I installed Windows 7 on a (soon to be) triple boot system last night and was really impressed. I thought Microsoft had done a good PR job with the OS, but wasn't actually expecting it to be much better than Vista. It installed in less than 20 minutes(!) and seems really responsive.

The developers seem to have thought a lot about how non-technical users would use the OS, and have used more everyday descriptions (phrases such as "I have an ADSL WAN connection" have been dropped in favour of "I have broadband over a telephone line", to give a completely made-up example).

The only thing I'm a bit disappointed with is the lack of native 64-bit applications - most of the stuff I've installed is 32-bit software (although it works fine on a 64-bit OS).

Because people want to install software that only runs on Windows?

BTW if you think an operating system is fun to use you really need to step away from the computer for a while.

I use spotify on my ubuntu laptop through WINE - http://www.spotify.com/en/help/faq/wine/

Lots of other windows apps will work that way too.
