 Rating:  - my win 7 review.I like this version best of all versions of Windows. I would have given it 5 (five) stars, but I didn't like the fact that it would only alow you to pick microsoft items for media playing and web surfing for default setings. It also asked you to pick your choices every time you logged on until you did pick them. Otherwise it is GREAT. Faster startups and faster shutdowns. The only operating systems that have beat these times is my Linux systems. Marc Rating: - Windows 7 upgrade ( 3user)first computer: Install over vista home basic upgrade version. Windows 7 would not install over Vista upgrade. On phone with MS. two hours later they could not resolve problem. They said they would have a higher level tech call back. They were very polite and cooperative but couldn't come up with a way to install 7 on the computer. Searched internet for a solution. It said that I had to do a fresh install of the Windows 7 by first installing 7 without entering key code them reinstalling within the first 7 install then entering the key code. Very complicated. Second computer: Install over vista premium full version. Upgrade within vista premiom went without problem. Third computer: Install will again be over vista home basic upgrade version reluctant to do fresh install because the wife has a lot of pictures on computer. Install on this computer on hold. Rating: - Great upgrade, everything Vista wasn'tHad Vista on two machines, bought the family pack and upgraded one to 32 bit HP and the other to 64 bit HP. Had issues with switchable discrete graphics, but a BIOS update from Lenovo had me up and running just fine. Overall a smooth transition and 7 is great. NOTE: Microsoft sells this product for $150 on the MS online store. I don't know why anyone would spend $200 or more here for what is selling from the manufacturer for $150. Rating:  - Goodbye Vista!Prompt delivery on release day, love the family pack pricing, install was EFFORTLESS! I did a fresh install, as I prefer to do always if possible, and W-7 sailed right through, detecting my network, internet connection, analog TV tuner card, etc., etc. Took about an hour each for my desktop Dell unit, and about the same for the wife's Toshiba laptop. The only thing which was remotely complicated was when it put the laptop into hibernate mode after awhile, and the wife didn't know how to wake it and did a forced shutdown with the power button. It had trouble restarting and restored an earlier install, pre-iTunes, so I had to reload that, educated the wife and disable the snooze mode. Rating: - Windows 7I installed Windows 7 Home Premium on a 2 year old laptop without a hitch and on a 2004 vintage XP machine. The only issues I ran into related to updating to the latest drivers before install, and on the old machine installing with one stick of memory (I had 2 sticks of 2 different brands which is a no no). Window 7 is working flawlessly on both machines and is smooth and fast. I was going to put it on a third machine running Window Vista Ultimate but it required a clean install rather than an upgrade install so I chose not to do it at this time. Vista is running fine on that machine so I'll save the upgrade for later.
