I concur, when upgrading to Windows 7, one must have appreciated the pains of Windows security, viruses among a myriad of other issues usually experienced by advansed Windows users. For someone who doesn't do  much more that sending emails and playing Minesweeper, I would suggest you stick to XP....

@ Wash, indeed....only but money to lose to Micro$oft!

So,

After a lengthy chat with a friend who is quite proficient in Windows technology and terminology, he convinced me to shift the Home PC's ( Yes. I know. I am ashamed ) to windows 7 32Bit from XP. Another "Expert" who just happens to be my cousin working for a MS Disti in UG claims the benefits are not so WOOP! and it won't really help my parents more with their emailing etc. than in XP.

Is this true?

I am ignorant in Windows technologies. I've checked a number of online comparisons and each is partial.

What say the Skunks?

Hello Watchie,

It's been said that Windows 7 incorporates the aesthetics of Vista with the speed of XP, and adds some sanity to the security architecture of Windows. I tend to agree with that. For a user who does just e-mailing, there is not so much to gain from the upgrading, but just money to lose to Microsoft:)
