> I’ve been a Windows user since 98. My advice is to do it. Win 7 is XP with a high gloss polish. You’re gonna like it.

I heartily second that recommendation. Win7 is significantly better than XP once you get used to the minor differences.

Incidentally, in about 5 minutes of tweaking display/desktop preferences, you can make it look almost identical to XP, if you wish to avoid the Vista-esque gloss.

I loved XP and I love Windows 7. Absolutely hate Windows 10.
