What do you gain by upgrading from
XP Pro to Win 7 Pro ?
And what do you lose ?

I had XP pro on this lappy (circa 2004, single core mind), great, love it.
Installed w7 pro, dire. Absolutely everything was so much slower, click an
icon, make a cuppa. So - I have XP pro on this lappy
Didn't like win7 explorer plus a few other things, image file increased from
~7gig (XP) to ~20gig (w7).
Real progress *ahem*.
