    Why? It will be overpriced bloatware.

    remember you'll have less joy in your life

    ...but still have the same amount of snow!

    Nah. Windows 7 is good enough for me and Windows 8 brings large icons and a "smartphone/tablet" interface. TBH Vista was a good enough improvement over XP for me.

    Other computers here are on OS X and Ubuntu 10.04LTS.

    Yes! Well I am a student so probably will be able to download it free from our University website :) I think it would be cool

    justing getting used to 7 cant really see any improvements over xp for what i use a pc for.

    most of our work stuff is still on xp pro and won't be upgraded till we change pc's in a couple of years which suits me.

    I bought 7 as soon as it came out. Don't think I'll do the same with 8 though - happy with 7 for now.

    Windows 7 is more user friendly than Windows Vista, I don't like that.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Are you an UK student? Not many people would say, "I am student..."
