Windows 7 has been released into the wild, and I cannot wait to get my copies. I have an upgrade to Windows 7 Professional making its way through the mail that will be replacing Windows XP Professional on my desktop, and I will be upgrading my laptop to Windows 7 Home Premium (a free upgrade that came with my laptop, and which will happily remove all traces of Vista). Of course, they’ll both be clean installs. I’m so pumped about these OSes that I might even shell out a few bucks to get Windows 7 badges to stick onto my computers (at the very least, I’ll need one to replace the Windows Vista badge on my laptop… yeesh).
In light of my enthusiasm for this new operating system, as well as the wealth of reviews on the Internet, I’ve decided I’m going to do a two-part post on Windows 7. The first post will be my experience upgrading to Windows 7, both on my desktop and laptop, which will include comments on my experience with Windows Easy Transfer, and whether I’m successful installing an upgrade copy of Windows 7 to a new partition, rather than wiping out my existing operating system entirely (which should make the transition a little easier for me). The second post will be my experience using Windows 7 as my primary operating system after several weeks.
So, look for those in the coming weeks!
