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

Support, better security, compatibility with modern applications...
Win 7 64 bit is useful, XP 64 bit lacked driver support.
Start button search is quite handy.

And what do you lose ?

Support for older hardware and applications (although you may be able to
use them with an XP virtual machine)

Slight learning curve getting used to changes.



W7 does not come from the land of the Teletubbies.

My XP didn't either though. The UI on my Win7 boxes looks very similar
to my XP one...
