I've been using it for about an hour now and quite like it. I'll report back later when I've found out exactly what it does

None of the features sound like they will effect me

What OS have you got now and what version of 7 would they give you?

Yeah, upgrade.
Been using it on my laptop for months now. I quite like it and not had any problems.

Can you upgrade it and keep your old stuff on? I heard you had to wipe/backup your hardrive first

Upgrading from Vista should be quick and painless. Upgrading from XP I think is more hard work and would probably benefit a reformatting of your hard disk. |

I'm not using it yet, but I've heard it's a lot faster and 'smoother' than Vista.
Will be moving to it on my next computer.

early conclusion is I like it. it's very visual and feels smoother than vista or xp. for £30 I'd do it if you're not planning on getting a new comp soon

Vista is fine on it's own but garbage if you don't have compatible peripherals.
