Poll: Will You Upgrade to Windows 7?

By Tom Dunlap

"Vista was just a bad dream. A dream that's almost over. Wake up, honey dearest, rub the sleep out of your eyes and smell the Windows 7."

That's what I tell myself whenever I have to struggle with Microsoft's bloated Vista operating system. Luckily, that's only part of the time. I work from home, and of course I'm my family's IT support guy. My wife has Vista, my son has two older Macs, and I have XP -- as well as that pulling-out-your-hair problem.

Meanwhile, the early returns from the beta testers of Microsoft's new Windows 7 OS look intriguing. CNET UK posted this today:

CNET's UK site has installed, tested, reviewed, and benchmarked the version of Windows 7 that's being shipped to manufacturers for a late October release. The verdict? An all-around approval, as Seth Rosenblatt declares Windows 7 improved in most every way, but especially in performance and shut-down measurements.

It might be ridiculously early to ask this question, but I'm curious:

Will You Upgrade to Windows 7?
