Here in Brazil the news are in the papers. Microsoft will start selling Windows 7 on October 22. To my dismay no upgrade from XP. Only from Vista. And I have a brasilian XP Home and a US XP Professional. I have a Vista to put on the top of the XP Professional...and...then... Windows 7? I guess I will have to start from scratch with my new office computer that has XP Home. Hate that! Why is microsoft doing this to me?
1) You don't want Win7 right now. It will be a year or two before M$ works out the defects. Meanwhile you will you will be using XP, a version that has been worked on long enough to have fixed many of the worse defects.
2) The only sensible way to upgrade to a new Windows OS is to erase the drive and install Windows from scratch. So you really have nothing to complain about. Don't think you can upgrade like a Mac user does, Windows is not that kind of technology.
