    I am. It is better than Vista, and is even outperforming XP on my older machine that never could keep up with Vista. If the option is there, there is no reason not to upgrade.

    Im just really courous as to who is. I love the operating sys. vista was unstable for me and liked to freeze up when ever i would do heavy multi tasking but now that im running even just the beta version of seven, just the other day i was burning two dvds and playing san andreas at the same time

    I never really understood the problems with vista. people would talk about how crappy it is but I have yet to find problems (the exception being my computer doesn't think I'm the administrator even though I'm the only user)

    windows 7 has had some beta versions out for as long as a year i think. it officially was released on the 22. my copy should be here on the 30th I think. I really had a lot of problems with program compatibly with vista also when i would multi task with it I ran into stability problems. but with seven i like ti cause its a little easier to use, it has some features that as far as i know vista didnt have such as disk image burning and things of that nature, but the ting i like about seven the most is that my boot times are next to nothing and ive been running this os without a antivirus for like 2 mouths and program load times seem to be better as well.

    Getting good FPS in all my games, and good benchies out of it. Seems very stable. It was what vista should have been.

    you've probably got a virus --- download malwarebytes from filehippo.com and see what it finds.

    It runs just fine on 512MB, but it does not like doing too much...although no intensive programs work well on that anymore regardless of platform.
