I don't want to reveal being a dinosaur but I go back to the Commodore 64, ran the bulky 286 and 386, thought winodw 95 was state of the art at the time, flip with 98 then XP now Vista. So this is what makes me wary <(word used loosely) of Windows 7. There is no rush for me but I'd just as soon go out and by a new laptop than upgrade the one I have. I have time so I'll wait it out. I have tons of software for XP and now it's sitting in a box, I don't want to waste anymore money.
