I have been using Vista for about 14 months. Maybe, I just use it for web browsing and office applications, I don't have any major problem with Vista. I just wonder what is the benefit of upgrading to Windows 7 (Needless to say, MS highly recommends).

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been a computer and Vista user for the past 16 months.
I did have a few problems with Vista when I first got my computer, but after a couple of months of the odd freeze, I found Vista to run beautifully, with no problems at all.
I have learn't a lot with regard to computing and along the way have learn't to use the Vista OS, which I like enormously.
Having seen what Windows 7 offers, I don't see much that I would use, other than a few neat tricks here and there....
My question is, do I need to fork out the extra dollars for Windows 7 ?? ( I'd rather not ) And does anyone know how long Vista will be supported for??
I would hope I can hold on to 200 dollars for the upgrade and keep using Vista.
My impression, is that Windows 7 is pretty much a slightly improved version of Vista, which for me....is working beautifuly.
What is it - a costly upgrade or a service pack, which would have to be free otherwise?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a client where more than a few users are running Vista Business or
Ultimate and despise it because of the slow performance, freezes, long
startup times, etc. These are typically Lenovo laptops or tablets running
Intel Core Duo processors of 2GHZ or better speed and 4G of RAM. In the past
I have checked these computers for malware and tried to optimize best I
could eliminating uneeded startup programs, disabling indexing, optimizing
power settings for performance, etc. That usually helped somewhat but not
enough to make them happy.
Now they want to upgrade to Windows 7. I am wondering what experiences users
have had in upgrading such computers in that have you seen a notable
improvement in performance with the simple upgrade path or did it require a
clean install to get performance to be better. I am trying to avoid the
clean install route because of the extra time it will take to reconfigure
all the settings, FIND and reinstall ALL the software, plug ins, and
drivers, and backup/restore data.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am currently running Vista Ultimate 32 bit and I want to install Windows 7 when it comes out. According to the upgrade advisor I have to purchase the same "Ultimate" version in order to just do an upgrade. It says that if I want to install a lower version, I will have to do a clean install. My question is, if I purchase the lower version (Win 7 Professional), do I have to purchase the full version and not the upgrade version? IOW, can I still do a clean install from the upgrade version? If I recall there was a just this work around when Vista was first released. Would this still hold true for Windows 7?

Does this mean I have to fork out more money? and I guess and can't even just get the upgrade this time around can I? because I'm already on the Home Premium? I fairly new at all this. I'm not a computer tech, just a someone that has a homebased computer.
