I thought I was the ultimate hold-out on XP. But decided to make the switch to Windows7 last fall. Wow! Now I wonder why I held out so long.
Well, maybe I stuck with my beloved XP because the laptop had Vista and I figured if Win7 was as bad as Vista then I wasn't interested in changing my desktop. But Win7 has been great! Wish I had done it sooner.
Windows 7 runs perfectly on the XP desktop purchased in 2007. No issues with hardware or software. I expected some, but nothing. The whole changeover was seamless.
Now I will be a long-time holdout with Win7. I'm too old to want to work my desktop via a monitor; my shoulders, arms and neck wouldn't appreciate the exercise. As well, makes it hard to eat fried chicken while working.
