XP being "fully stable" doesn't make it the only choice. I'm telling you, Windows 7 is very cool; it multitasks better, supports better hardware, has a more customizable interface, what's not to like?Originally Posted by CJM
I more than anything like the built-in stuff that I would normally have to install another program to accomplish with XP, like burning data DVDs, burning ISO files, playing all of my video files including AVCHD, etc...
The 64-bit version is a little tough to get around sometimes with driver support being what it is for 64-bit Vista right now, but I've been able to find drivers for everything, and taking advantage of more than 3gb of ram is a must. I'm planning to upgrade to 8gb of ram in the not-too-distant future since it's so cheap these days.
