Alex: I installed Windows 7 on a separate partition so I could conduct side-by-side analysis with Vista. The installation took merely 20 minutes. Immediately, I noticed a significantly improved startup time over Vista. Windows 7 fires up to the logon screen in 30 seconds. Web pages load quicker. Programs run appreciably faster. The memory footprint is also reduced measurably. Vista always felt a bit heavy. I've experienced zero driver compatibility issues. It installed the requisite drivers for my HP Printer, network card, video card, etc. I encourage an upgrade to Windows 7. I highly recommend that you do a clean install however.

Mark: Windows 7 won't let me access My Documents from the desktop - when I try to put a shortcut there, the shortcut opens "Libraries" with "Documents" a subfolder, and "My Documents" a subfolder to that. What’s more, the Office 2007 ribbon has now been added to Paint and WordPad. For users who dislike the ribbon concept from Office 2007, this seems bothersome.

Listen to a short passage. Try your best to understand the lines and answer the following questions.

 The first thing you'll notice about Windows 7 is that it looks like Vista.  Most of Vista's annoyances have either been removed, or can be changed so the system works the way you like. It takes personalization to extremes.  Microsoft has analyzed the data from millions of user computing sessions to find out exactly what people do with their computers, then attacked the "pain points" to make Windows 7 quicker and smoother.  The catch is that upgrading a PC running Windows XP requires a clean installation of Windows 7: you can't do an in-place upgrade. This has been a source of complaints, because it means reinstalling all your applications as well.
