Yes.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

So this is the one replacing Vista? It seems like Microsoft does this a lot. They bring in some new Windows OS, and charge tons of money for it; it turns out to be pretty bad, and thereafter they replace it with a better one. I don't trust Microsoft, never really have.

Vista wasn't bad. I like Vista better than any previous Windows versions. You can't blame Vista for running poorly on an old system when they're trying to create a 'new age' operating system. It sounds to me like Win7 takes Vista and just tailors it to correct what every complained about.

I'm going to install the 64-bit version tonight.

But at the same time, they authorized "vista compatible" stickers on everything that was new enough to have ram.

Is it worth using for my Windows partition?  I'm trying to redo my OSes before I head back to school, and I'm not sure what to go with here.  It's either XP or Windows7, I think.  I don't really like Vista.

Keep in mind that the Beta expires on August 1, 2009.

Yeah, that's one of the things I was worried about.  However, I'll probably have time over the summer to redo OSes again.

7 over XP, def.

I assume there will be some work around by August, much like there was for the Vista betas.

XP. Better program support, better driver support.
