I also run both Windows 7 64 bit and XP. I agree that XP is still a very good operating system. About the only difference I have noticed is that Windows 7 boots up much faster. However, it is installed on a new computer which is much more powerful and so it is hard to tell whether the improved boot time is due to the operating system or the computers. Windows 7 does appear to be very stable and well behaved. Fortunately, I have avoided Vista after reading too many horror stories about it.

Someone remarked Windows XP operating system was dead. I have to disagree. Though Windows XP is old it is still one of the most successful operating system that Microsoft came out with and is still supported with up-dates. I run both windows 7-64 and XP and both operating systems perform well. 73 Dave KD1NA ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
