Thinking about upgrading to Windows 7 from XP pro. What are the pro's and cons.
Thanks for the help. |

Windows 7 gogo.
The first thing you should do is check this link out: It shows you how to turn off windows UAC. (the stupid popups that ask you if you are sure) http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/disable-user-account-control-uac-the-easy-way-on-windows-vista/ |

Windows 7 is great - however, if you have an older computer...I don't think you're going to notice any speed or performance difference and you'll lose disk space. I still run XP on my 6 year old desktop. I have Win 7 on three newer laptops. Compare the upgrade cost to the cost of a new low-end computer that might have better specs than your outdated machine. I got a laptop at best buy for $388 including tax that has more than triple the disk space and memory that my old desktop PC has. Computers are ridiculously cheap right now. |

Love win 7. Have it on 2 machines. Fast start up. Snap feature for maximizing windows in useful ways. Looks pretty... you can set up your background image so it does a slide show of a number of different images with a large number of options for time delay between each image. |
