My wife had Vista, now has 7, and it's just a bloated, overly-busy ripoff of Snow Leopard. I've still got XP on my office PC, and it's still working fine.
It seems Windows is sort of like 911s - every other (or close) generation is good, and the ones in between are bad  |
The primary reason to upgrade to Win 7 Pro from Win XP Pro is that XP is going to lose its support soon. Win 7 Pro will be supported through 2020. XP has had a good run and has been a great Operating System for 10 years. That is like FOREVER in computer years.
My latest computers are all Win 7 Pro x64. I will build my drafting machine tomorrow night. I will be rebuilding my wife's computer in the next week or so, and she will go from Win XP Home to Win 7 Pro. My 2 netbooks are XP but I expect I'll upgrade them Win 7 Starter or Home shortly.
