Thanks for putting these threads up lately....I'm scrambling to learn what I can (I'm as low tech capable as you could imagine) because this almost 10 year old PC is on it's last legs, and I'm excited to give Windows 7 a try on a new machine.

Gulp - I'm terrified; need to find teenage geek kid.

Good luck. I suspect it'll go a lot better than you may think. BTW, you may want to look into TechRepublic. They offer a number of good articles on computing, and it's not just for the tech savvy. Go here TechRepublic and do a search on Windows 7.

Windows 7 is better than XP. On my 2g notebook it was faster too.

That being said, the XP mode is awesome as it can run any thing that XP can from within Win 7. Who needs to dual boot.

I never went down the Vista path, but I really believe that Windows 7 is Worth upgrading too.

But hey, I will likely run XP on a couple of my machines until they die
