Default Is 7 any good?

I've been told that 7 is a limited version of windos for laptops. Is anyone
running anything bigger on it [successfully].


Doesn't include a mail program if that is what you mean. You can
download the flaky "Live Mail" junk, but I prefer Thunderbird.

Win 7 is Vista regurgitated. Same performance isues but they did
improve the Aero a little by removing the smoothness and frame rates.
Appears faster but is chunky. But if you benchmark disk and network
copies, same issues as Vista.

The gadget bar has changed, some resolutions cause overlap and spacing
is more like the desktop. A step backwards in my opinion.

Certainly not worth $$ to upgrade. In fact I reverted back to Vista.

AMD X4 9750, ATI 4350, 8GB RAM, 750GB and 1TB drives. Didn't waste my
time putting it on a similarly equiped Q6600.
