I was at my local computer store the other day, fulling intending on buying Win 7. The guy said, "what version do you want?" I asked him what his prices were and he rattled them off. But before I could say anything more, he asked me how my XP machine was running - any problems? I said that it was running great... has never been better, ever since I did a major upgrade last summer. He said, "upgraded last year, huh? Lemme see... what's that in dog years?" Sure makes you feel good when you hear that... heh...

Anyway... he said that if XP is running so great, why did I want to change? I told him of my concerns that Microsoft would be stopping it's support for XP. He told me not to worry about that - I'd still be getting the support for at least another year... until Win 7 proves itself. (can you say "Vista?") He said that there still are a lot of drivers unavailable for Win 7... but hardware/software companies are working to get them out. The gist of it is that he said to wait... don't change over until you have to. Pretty neat coming from someone who would be making money selling it to me but telling me not to buy it.
