I have been using Windows 7 for a while now and am loving it. Everything runs much faster than when I was running xp and the system is more stable. Games that used to crash my system now run perfectly fine. The only thing that realy took any getting used to was the new start menu. Windows also made everything very easy to install, taking only about half an hour to put 7 on my computer and then it automatically detected a lot of my hardware and found drivers for them on its own.
