A little under three years after Windows Vista launched, Microsoft’s next operating system is gearing up for launch this October. But are you planning on upgrading to it? Here’s what some people on Twitter had to say when I asked them:
- “Yes. I have a netbook (HP Mini 1000), and all indications point to Windows 7 being crazily netbook friendly.” (@rdonoghue, Robert Donoghue)
- “I will be switching to Windows 7. Why. Features look helpful, and it is pretty cheap with pre-order. I had no issues with Vista” (@JesterOC, DnD on the Brain)
- “Maybe when XP stops being sufficient.” (@asmor, Encounter-a-Day)
I’m a Mac user, but I tried the beta for 7, and I liked it. There isn’t a good way to convey the significance of that statement without you actually knowing me, but to put it simply: I am the worst kind of Mac fanboy, and I liked a Windows product.
What are your upgrade plans?
I felt unclean when I started using an iPod. I’ve used a number of different mp3 players over the years, though, and the iPod was the best of them.
So I can kind of empathize with you, we’re kind of like two sides of the same coin. Except you’re on the wrong side. :p
