Jed, Its fantastic that you are enjoying Windows 7 so much and that you had
a great experience finding the drivers needed for your printer and other
devices. Windows 7 offers many great features which I am sure you are
discovering! To learn more about Windows 7 and some great tips / tricks,
check out Microsoft Springboard.
Also, side note to any user still running Windows 7 Beta, remember the
Beta will begin to reboot every two hours starting July 1st. If you have
not moved to the Win7 Release Candidate, please do so here: 'Windows 7
Release Candidate' (http://tinyurl.com/cwl3fs)

Why not wait a year for the really gross bugs to be found by the users before jumping headlong into the same hole that Vista became.

Wouldn't that make better sense?



Absolutely. I cannot begin to understand why users would rush to a new OS, unless they have a specific need that would fulfilled and that is not presently.

This makes sense from people who, somehow need to get familiar with all new OSs coming on the market, for professional reasons. Otherwise, as long as you are happy with you presently system, just do yourself a favor, save some money, save time and keep it. If you cannot resist the urge, make sure you can revert simply to your present OS ...
I believe Windows 7 will not bring anything important to Vista users: it looks much more attractive for people who decided to stay put with XP and need/want to upgrade.
