Windows 7 is pretty intense. I'm upgrading after my online class is done for the semester. Otherwise half the excrement I need isn't compatible.

You should look into the promo at http://windows7.digitalriver.com/store/mswpus/en_US/DisplayHomePage.  It's $30 for any US college student at an accepted University.  Got Windows 7 pro for $30, couldn't pass that up.

Tinman is getting me a free 64 bit windows 7 from his workplace. He works at some data center, and they hand out free Microsoft products. Free, can't pass that up!

And you can't meddling upgrade from XP to 7.  Aren't I happy.  The computer is too excrement, as well to probably run it, although theres one at school, and I likes :).

You can upgrade, you just have to do a clean install.  I had XP.

...and Windows 7 is *SOMEHOW* better than Vista because...?
I wasn't even sure what Windows 7 was until now.

It uses system resources better than vista, so lower grade computers can run better on a newer OS.

It's basically Vista that runs like XP.  Or what Vista should have been.

Windows 7 is also highly compatible with newer hardware and much friendlier with solid state drives :D

Eh, usually if I print stuff it's in my computer lab on campus, but 64 bit would work better with my computer setup either way.
