That would depends on your computer hardware my friend. XP flat form bugs is already fixed while windows 7 is still new and there are lot of bugs needs to be fixed also it will be unstable for your computer if you have a lower pc components windows 7 works best if you have all those latest parts that supported and recommended.

I did one of those windows upgrade test and my computer system past most of the test accept 2 my computer needs more ram and windows 7 dose not support rhapsody jukebox & media player, thats what the test said. So maybe I'll waite to upgrade unless I find a way to get more space on my computer, besides I've been reading a lot of pros and some big cons that make me think maybe I should stick with XP.

I have been using windows 7 since it has been launched in my country and i am very happy using it. It has got lots of aero dynamic features. its quite interesting working on it. XP is very old now. I don't think that i single person whom I know uses XP now. So better upgrade your system with windows 7.

Mmm sounds pretty cool, maybe your right I should upgrade but will my system crash if I upgrade my computer to windows 7? my computer is a 3 years old desk top. so I'm a bit concerned that my computers drive system couldn't handle the switch.

Everybody knows that window xp is friendly user. as i observed that depend upon person to person that which says this is a good operating system. according to me window xp is really better except it doesn't have extra feature. thanks for mylotting.

Hiya apples, At the moment I am sitting pretty with Windows Xp with no plans yet to upgrade anything. This system I have got is way out of whack and I donĀ“t want to break my Head with another system just yet at least. When I feel ready it will be changed but again no use rushing for me (grin).

I would go to windows xp if its compatibility that we're talking but if not then go for windows 7.. its a very good OS though it sucks when you need to run a program using run as administrator xD

When windows 7 first came out I heard some bad comments on it so I shied away from it. Now after using it on a friends computer I find no fault in it. I currently use windows xp and I think I will continue to use xp until the masses all change over to windows 7. I like to stay with what I know best until I have to change. Eventually the software will be geared more towards windows 7 than xp and I will have to update; but until then I will stay with xp.

Win7 is way much better than XP. Be it on gaming side, Looks side and usability aspects of using the computer.

For me personally Windows 7 is just another Windows update and well I have long since left the Windows arena when they launched Vista I was like wow should just get a Mac and call it Vista I have moved on to better things that don't involve Windows or Apples with a bite in it. But I guess if you are a Windows user then Windows 7 must likely has some new features that where missing in XP and Vista to get people to pay $$$ for it. I don't pay for my operating system anymore and now I don't understand why I ever did or why any one else would. So yeah it has it improvements just as ever Mac OS X and Windows release has some kool new feature or improvement that the last ones didn't
