My boyfriend is a pretty die-hard Mac user, but he did buy an old PC laptop with XP on it. Even though netbooks are the hot thing right now, they weren’t when he was in the market, so he ended up with an older Thinkpad with XP. He upgraded to the Windows 7 beta several months ago and absolutely LOVES it.

He now doesn’t even talk about Mac laptops any more he wants to upgrade to the Thinkpad W series, put 8GB of RAM in it and run Windows 7.Ĭonsidering he paid ~$250 for the laptop, and $4,200 for his Mac Pro tower, that’s saying something! In fact, not only is it faster than XP on his laptop, he actually likes it almost as well as his Mac. We both pre-ordered the 7 Pro upgrade on Amazon and he upgraded from the RC to the final version in a few hours the other day. I haven’t done the upgrade yet because I’m still running XP on two computers, and plan to upgrade to SSDs on both at the same time. I’m waiting for the SSD I want to come back in stock so I can place an order. 🙂īTW, the 7 Pro upgrade pre-order on Amazon was $99. Certainly less than I paid for my trusty copy of XP years ago. I used a mac, for a while then used my windows PC, back during XP’s era, and XP was easier to use, and multitasking is way faster, and it costed WAY LESS than a POS mac. because he owned some DVD software, and he said it was okay to explore the OS. I liked it, but it is just lacking ease of use and common sence within the MAC OS.
