Windows 7 Ultimate
Installed Windows 7 to new Hard disk in order to maintain dual boot system, installed in less than an hour and runs like a dream.

Vista is dead (thankfully)
I have been using Windows7 for a couple of weeks now and I have to say it is a vast improvement over Vista in that it works (unlike Vista)stable (unlike Vista) and unobtrusive (unlike Vista), in short although it looks like vista it doesn't work or feel like Vista.
I knocked one mark off because this should have been much less expensive than it is as Microsoft were forced to rewrite its operating system since vista was so terrible and unpopular.
Congratulations to anybody who stuck with XP, however, familiar old XP now looks dated and the only reason to stick with it are that it probably looks the same as the computer at work and feels familiar(both valid points) but Windows7 is quite intuitive to use with an easy light looking interface.
But don't be fooled this is not a light product, it has all the tweak-ability that XP ever had and a few more beside.
Now I'm just waiting for Microsoft to put out an upgrade to make it crash an I'll feel completely at home.

Mainly looks upgrade for me
A few months back i signed up and got the release candidate of this operating system, and i must say that overall i was a little put out by it, microsoft had been touting it as some sort of heavenly creation that would come down and right all their past wrongs, but i was left unimpressed and didn't notice any performance difference compared with Vista the main differences are in the way it was layed out, it had better search functions than vista and looked better in my opinion but that was it really for me, in the end i reinstalled vista ultimate because i was having some compatibility issues with some programs and games. But being a lover of all new technologies i purchased this version of windows 7 mainly because its cheaper and i don't want to have to format my hdd, and i must say that the compatibility issues i had have been fixed from what i have experienced so far. Many people have been talking about the speed, i noticed that it is slightly faster than vista now, but the real difference is in the bootup times, my pc used to take 30 seconds or so, now it takes about 20 seconds, this may not sound like much but it is about 33% faster which would be very noticable on a slower computer maybe saving a minute or two.
Another thing which looks good are the new style of themes which each assign different sounds for operations on the pc and the wallpapers change quite frequently and some very nice themes come built in which i must commend for being great.
DirectX 11 is the last big difference that this OS has over all previous, for those who didn't know directX 11 is going to be the next big revolution in pc gaming making games far superior in terms of visuals, but no games out at the nimute are DX11 compatible and the first one that will be in Dirt 2 which is still a bit away and nt many more have been announced.
The upgrade process was great which this aswell, i simply loaded up to the desktop and put the dvd in and then followed the on-screen instructions about 45minutes later i had windows 7 and all my files were untouched saving a considerable amount of time and effort not having to replace them all, in what would of taken a few days to move all the music,videos and programs.
Overall i would recommend it because it is MARGINALLY BETTER performance wise (reason this is a 4* review not 5), is very simple to install, looks great and is ready for the DX11 games.

Windows 7 (Ultimate)
What can I say but 7 was worth the wait. Far superior to Vista in every way. Unbelievable boot up time. XP has served us well...
