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.
C’mon - you’re supposed to jump on the bandwagon and mindlessly bash Windows because it’s the ‘in’ thing to do.
Where’s your spirit?
I believe full install is the only way to upgrade if you have Windows XP.
I’m talking about the ‘old’ upgrade style, which you could do XP -> Vista and can’t do XP -> Win7.
Should be interesting to hear the screams of some of the early adopters when they discover this.
