Detailed review
I don't want to make a bold "Mac killer" statement as they always sound overboard, but this will be replacing all the Macs in my house.

Microsoft hit a winner with this OS. I liked XP and Vista got a bad reputation but once you peeled back the layers, it looked a lot like XP. With Windows 7, everything has been redone.

I find it easier to use and much easier to figure out how to get things done.

I use 7 for my main PC, secondary PC, Media PC in the living room and my wife uses it as well. She is what I call technologically illiterate but has had no problems with it.

It's nice giving her a laptop with an OS on it I don't have to keep fixing.

It just works.
