I guess my question, after reading all the various specifications and
comparison charts, is: why should I upgrade from XP? It looks as if I
would have to buy a new machine with more memory and faster processor
speed, when the machines I have now work just fine with under 1 GHz
and under 1 gig of memory. I don't play games or edit movies or watch
TV - I just surf the 'net, do Email, create simple documents, and do
limited processing and storage of digital images. I am all for
"progress", but I am not convinced that I need this next step (aside
from the promise of "lack of support" for XP going forward). I still
have Win98SE machines on my network that are happily running scanners
and hosting networked printers; they will continue to perform those
functions until they literally die (and when they do, I will merely
pick up anther discarded "clunker" from freecycle.com and run it). I
am not a Luddite or deny technological improvements, but I really
wonder what it is that Win 7 is going to do for most users.

Of course, then the question becomes: What are the odds I would
ever need this?
And it's a good question, too. My own view is that I've never needed
an XP mode with Vista, so why would I need it with Win7? For those
still using XP, it's a different question, since they could
conceivably be using critical apps that don't work with Vista
(although that's pretty rare now) and not know it.
