I have had enough of vista,so i have decided to upgrade to windows 7,in software4students i can have it for £38. ish.
I can have it has a download, so i could have it today,or have it on disc delivered.1 main problem with vista is you cant always find files you have downloaded,so i'm a bit unsure has to have the dvd delivered.
And will i find a improvement with my pc?(with windows7)

I have just moved from XP to W7, after avoiding Vista like the plague.

I am quite happy with W7, seems to be a logical progression on from XP, whereas Vista was an "evolutionary dead end" !

Well, what problems are you experiencing with Vista that you're expecting Windows 7 to resolve?

Everyone says theres this big leap from Vista to Windows 7
Theres not much in it to my mind

I thought that The difference to Vista and 7 was that 7 was Vista on a Diet, didn't eat all your resources as much, and more stable. I have Vista other than software conflicts which as AVG.Zonealarm and my browsers, Vista hasn't been a direct cause of a problem.

PS, Use a half decent browser like Firefox and set it to always download to the desktop.

When it was released Vista was unfinished and full of holes. Post-SP2 it's a perfectly serviceable OS. The selling of Windows 7 to Vista users as a must-have upgrade is another triumph for the Marketing Department.

That is user error.

YOU choose where to download files to on your computer.

I would gladly get shot of vista from my laptop and replace it with xp. Every time I see that are you sure you want to do that pop up I want to chuck the thing out of the window.

The only success Vista ever registered was the huge increase in sales to :-

- Linux
- Mac's
- etc

and the regression for Windows devotees back to WinXP. Even the worlds biggest box shifters couldn't sell it pre-installed. If it barks like a dog, and runs like a dog - it's a dog !

Win7 is what Vista should have been.
