You can also just use XP mode, if you have the memory to spare... but I think that's for Ultimate only.

Windows 7 is apparently what Vista should have been.... or I heard someone else describing it as "Vista on speed, with a make-over"

I am currently on XP, but I am getting a new laptop sometime soon... unfortunately I ordered it about a week before they started putting Windows 7 in (I thought it wasn't coming out till February!) but I do at least get a free upgrade which I will be doing as soon as possible because I have sampled Vista on my sisters laptop and wasn't keen.

Oh, and those of you still on XP, I don't think you can upgrade directly to Windows 7, you need a clean install. (I imagine if you put a W7 disc in it should explain what to do, but you never know)

I have the RC, will upgrade to the the normal before the RC runs out.

However yes, 7 is a vista on speed, but not a make over. A quick view into the properties tab shows that it they just changed the view properties. Since i thought 7 looked like Ass, I changed it back to look like vista. There is absolutly no difference between the 2 other then speed and a few menu options such as how the UAC looks.

XP Mode is for Professional too. Since Professional is geared towards businesses that might have to run legacy software, that's why the XP Mode is also included.

I've got it, and it is quite nice, but I do have a major problem, it says I don't have permission to open Word, Excel etc... very very annoying

I don't have office installed so this is a guess, try right clicking on the icon you want to open and hit "run as administrator"
