Windows 7

I have been really busy at work right now and to tired to do much on my websites, working is good, being to tired to work on my sites not so good. I did check out a little about Windows 7 and it sounds like it will be better then Vista. One thing that worries me is that in order to run programs that were designed for XP, you will have to run them in whats called Virtual PC. The software is free but it will only work with the Professional and up versions, it is also a beta right now. Here is a link to a MS Article about it: Windows Virtual PC. This is Windows 7 home page: Windows 7. I plan on buying 7 so I can add info about it to my site. Vista wasn’t worth the money as far as I was concerned. You should also check out what requirements are needed to run 7, here is a link to the System Requirements: Windows 7 requirements.
Have not seen any pricing yet, but I will be buying the full retail version not the upgrade version or the OEM, I never upgrade, to many problems, I just reformat the drive or buy a new drive and do a clean install. If you buy a new drive and just disconnect the XP drive and connect the new drive and then install 7, if there are problems I can always just reconnect the XP drive and run that or switch back and forth.
