Some of you may wonder why Microsoft has chosen to call the new version of Windows; Windows 7. I think that they know only six previous versions of their operating systems actually work.
Should you rush out and upgrade to Windows 7? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Unless you were the person who signed up for drug trials during college, there is no need to upgrade. Let Microsoft work out the problems that are inherent with all new operating systems. Windows XP will be supported until at least 2014 and there is no direct upgrade from XP to Windows 7.
Even if you are unfortunate enough to have Vista, we suggest you wait 10-12 months before upgrading. History has shown that this is typically the length of time until the first Service Pack is issued. User beware.
