Because Win7 is far far far far far better than XP. XP made me switch to Linux. Win7 made me switch back.

But hey, if you’re happy then by all means continue being happy.

It does take getting used to though, but once you do get used to it, it flows more naturally…I rarely search endlessly in my Program Files shortcuts for apps, I just start typing their name in the search bar for one thing.   Just a lot of small things that add up to a better experience.
Stick with XP if you must…but you sound like those old guys who preferred to use DOS when Windows came out.

I was skeptical about Windows 8, but after watching the keynote (which is still going), I’m really keen to check this out out.

I just got a $829.99 iPåd2 for only $103.37 and my mom got a $1499.99 HDTV for only $251.92, they are both coming with USPS tomorrow. I would be an idiot to ever pay full retail prices at places like Walmart or Bestbuy. I sold a 37″ HDTV to my boss for $600 that I only paid $78.24 for.
I use BÏDFiRsT. COM
