You're out of the ice age!!! Or perhaps the dinosaur age.

The XP age of 2003 to 2010 for me.

Quite a shift isn't it?

Yes, indeed. I'm enjoying it, particularly the fact that it looks a lot better, in my opinion.

Yes it does as does Vista. Actually I use XP as little as possible on my computer because I've gotten used to Vista. I really don't like using XP anymore.

Anybody else other than RW and I use 7?

7 has been out just over a year so many many people have it? What do you think about it?

Never upgraded... Haven't felt the need or want to do so.

Wikipedia doesn't say much about it and I haven't found the time to search for any articles anywhere else on it. I thought about booting into it tomorrow and doing the updates however if I'll be doing that by next weekend they there really isn't any need. Has anyone heard anything about it?

My new Laptop has Windows 7, and I do tend to like it a little better than XP.

What version?

Not sure off hand. I think professional x64...
