Man even with TF2 with MAX settings on Vista, it lagged like shit. On 7 it runs smooth like butter!

one has xp and 7 being tied for gaming, while 7 led in all other aspects
another had 7 being better for gaming than xp etc
so :/

I'm still on XP and I will most likely keep XP on my main computer and install Windows 7 on my new gaming computer i'll be buying next month.

I haven't been able to tolerate using XP for at least the last year ... Once you get used to all the nice features in Vista, it makes XP unbearable, even if Vista is an absolute dog on some computer (laptops; low-end desktops).
I can't wait for my copy of 7 Ultimate to come in (some time in mid-November) and then I'll build a new gaming computer.

I just did the upgrade from Vista to 7, started the installation, went for Coffee, came home and it was done. Went super smooth, ran into 0 issues. The majority of my applications/software still work, I think maybe 3 programs had to be reinstalled. Also, I'm on a Dell Laptop and had 0 driver issues on the switch.
I've only been using 7 today but I'm really digging the new task bar, and all the other improvements that I've seen so far! Good post here on a lot of the new features --> http://lifehacker.com/5386953/lifeha...yline=true&s=x | |

I'm glad I didn't waste my money on Vista. I'm still annoyed that they changed stupid things that weren't broken in XP (IE: Rename Add/Remove programs to Programs & Features).
I guess I'll bite the bullet and install Windows 7 on my next new machine.
