Quote - I often wonder why Win7 was ever made...Nothing but unnecessary problems.

what? its a great OS!  probably one of the best MS has put out after XP (in its time. it is now obsolete, despite many people clinging to it like some sortof technological life-preserver).

i have had absolutely no problems at all. i have a remote windows 7 server that is under a constant load and the uptime is over 400 days.  a tweaked windows 7 runs better on even low-spec laptops and netbooks than XP does, with better battery life.

i can upgrade to windows 8 for only $14 but i think ill pass, since all windows 8 seems to bring is BS 'media enhancement' fluff that i can do without. i already have a smartphone and tablet -- i dont want a flashy but gimped tablet-like experience on my desktop as well.
