I agree that installation of Windows 7 is much,much easier and faster then Windows xp,You need like a hour for a full install (windows,drivers,software) of Windows 7 and about 2,3 hours for a windows xp,this could be different on beter pc-s.I also fell that Windows 7 is faster and it's easyer to fix errors.But i still stick to windows xp pro. sp2. because my pc i an 8 years old recycle bin.
