Windows 7 RTM arrives: The time is finally ripe for a Windows upgrade

In a way lots off people still use XP because they just hate vista for some reason, I just formatted and installed XP x64 not long ago because I was sick off vista running slow for no reason at all, tried all the things I could think off nuthing could speed it up, so hoppfully 7 will be good for games as it is for applications.

After 30+ days using Vista with SP2 update, Home Premium x64 is good enough for me and what I do...namely photo editing and just internet exploring. Will try Windows 7 on my next computer build as soon as my $$ tree gets some "water" and starts bearing some fruit :)

I tried running XPx64 and was pained to see that it wasn't compatible with my printer, my zune software, office 2010 etc. I'm back to using Vista x64 and will upgrade to Win 7 on or about Oct 22, 2009

Ya so far its all good for me I use my computer for gaming mainly thats why went back to XP but when 7 comes out I want to give it a go (already tried the RC liked it but rather wait for the final release).
