With the MS track record, it won’t be 7. More like 17. :D

Also, forget about upgrading from XP. You basically will have to do a clean install and reinstall everything - and most of your XP apps won’t work.

We transitioned the laptops here at work from XP to W7 without any issues at all. Every device on the laptops work, printers all have drivers, all the software works fine.

Now, we did do Wipe and Reload, not an upgrade. Saved all important data off to removable drives and then reloaded it after install.

All of it went seamless.

"...and most of your XP apps won’t work."

Does that include my win 3.11 apps?
