Re: Upgrade to Windows 7

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Win7 is still in beta, if your hw and programs are ok for vista then they
should be ok for Win7, from what MS has said.

I have been an XP professional fan for a long time. I still am. I
have never seen the need to upgrade to any follow-on O/S because XP
Pro has always worked with all my applications.

Now, however, with Windows 7 coming out, XP is 2 generations old. I
fear that XP will slowly fall by the wayside. For this reason, I am
beginning to think an O/S upgrade may be necessary even if I don't
like it.

I would like to know if anyone is aware of any possible upgrade path
Microsoft my offer from XP -> 7.

Also, does anyone know of a newsgroup dedicated to Windows7?
