Hi group. I agree with Mark in this case. You may not remember but early versions of Windows 7 were a mess. Upgrades and fixes used to come almost every day for a while until Microsoft got things on track.
They usually do get things fixed eventually. Buying or upgrading to a new piece of software can be compared to trying out a new medication. Some people love the challenge of working out the bugs. Personally, I enjoy playing with a new piece of software but I get very frustrated when things don't work as they should. Ask David Ferrin. He has pulled my irons out of the fire more than once.

However, Since windows 8 will be the new standard I would wait for it if I were going to upgrade my systems at this point. God bless, Mark God Loves you!

I currently have 3 computers in the home network that are all running XP Pro. I realize this will be supported until I believe June 2014. However, One of the units is having extreme issues and really needs to be replaced. There is another that could be. My understanding is Window's 8 is coming out in the Fall sometime. I have no personal experience with Window's 7 or 8. I know once Window's 8 is released you will still be able to get Window's 7 pre installed on new units purchased but I'm sure it will fade quickly. So my question to those that have tinkered with both, would it be better to replace units this Fall while Window's 7 is still the base system or wait until Window's 8 is the norm?
