It's more reliable.

It's an easy upgrade. In fact, Windows 7 should have been named Windows Vista Service Pack 3. The only bugaboo is that Windows 7 does not contain an email program. You have to provide your own or go to the Microsoft site and download one of theirs. (It's free.) The old Windows Mail has been replaced by Windows Live Mail.

Why use ANY Microsoft Email program???? “Free” or otherwise.

The FREE (open source) Email program “Thunderbird” became my Email program in the age of MS-InternetExplorer 5; at the same time I replaced IE5 with “Firefox”, which ended all my web-browsing issues at the time. Both programs are as robust as any alternative from MS; both are updated, free, all the time and both work on Macs and Windows, including Vista and Win 7.
