This is not something I am looking forward too.
There is no direct upgrade/migration path; it is a clean install... but after your initial adjustment period I think that you'll find Win7 to be FAR superior in just about every way. Granted, I made the switch a long time ago, but there is absolutely nothing about XP that I miss.
I run 7 at home and XP still at work. Hate it now. 7 is pretty nice. I still haven't gotten my feet wet with 8. |

Champion  5376   PA | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN Originally posted by Kido Maybe TMI... But as a kid, I had an eye issue and needed surgery - basically, lazy eye? Around 5 yrs old. Fixed me up all good and such. Well, when I get really tired or stress/eye strain. Sometimes is sneaks back. I sort of thought in the last month I have been feeling it happen a lot. Saw a couple pictures and one eye was doing it's own thing. SUPER embarrassing and I felt self conscious this last month talking to people in case it might happen (even though my wife said she never noticed). Went to the eye doc yesterday and talked about it and got my eyes check. Turns out it's sort of in my head. I have super hero vision in my left (20/10 - 20/15) and my right eye (the drifter) is 20/25. So my brain tends to rely on my eagle eye when fatigued. Their suggestion? Get more rest! Also do some eye exercises like use only my right eye while watching TV or playing video games. Seriously, three of the best cures EVER! Games, TV, and rest. "Sorry hon, I have to play madden 14 tonight for 2 hours then take a nap. Doctors orders". Very cool Hawk! er umm.. half-Hawk |

I run 7 at home and XP still at work. Hate it now. 7 is pretty nice. I still haven't gotten my feet wet with 8. XP on work PC, 7 on Work laptop and at home, 8 on my daughter's new laptop. It took a while but she likes it now. Her laptop is touch screen or touch pad or mouse so there are a lot of cool ways to screw things up. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: TAN 201: Yanti races Ironman JaTAN Another interesting story of customer service (or lack of?)... I know, probably boring to you. Very abbreviated version:
Order new golf clubs to arrive 8/9 and get billed when shipped. 8/14 and no clubs, no bill (so not even shipped yet). email from me 8/14: "what up with my clubs, yo?" them on 8/16: "back order, tentative ship on 9/15." Me 8/18: "aw fluffernutters/dangnabbit, sort of wanted them for second half of summer. I probably won't, but COULD I cancel or upgrade my order if I wanted to?" Them 8/20: "We sent in your cancellation request." Me 8/20: "WAIT! I asked COULD I, or upgrade, NOT cancel!!!!" Today - see a box at front desk - my clubs - 10 days late (or 25 days early?) 8/21 email from them: "Sorry, can't cancel - clubs have shipped." um REALLY? Me: ah forget about it ya id-jets... I gots'em so I is happy.

As I said, many designs, possibly a hundred or so out there ... I dunno, what do you consider "pretty"? They have plain black and brown and dark grey ones, too, but you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from a computer bag. |

XP was fun, but a HUGE security risk and would bomb at times. I'll be getting back into Linux very soon now that I accepted a new position at my job, and will need to relearn that OS. |
