why would anybody upgrade windows? use the version that came with your computer!! when they start selling computers with windows8, that's when you get that version, when you replace your computer.

my 2009 Laptop came with Vista plus Bloatware from Toshiba and Norton plus uncounted trials for Office, preinstalled skype, ebay apps and what not else.

It took ages to boot and was slow as hell. And I talk 4GB Ram with a Core2Duo Cpu and a 1GB graphics card that can do 3D games and aero in a breeze. Every OS should run like hot butter onto this setup.

Well.. according to your advice I should really run this day by day ?? No Way.

so what did you do? buy a new version of windows? how much did it cost? did it speed things up?

Toshiba offered a Win7 Upgrade Disc for 30 Euro, so..

in the meantime I played with Ubuntu 10.x and it was the fastest of all ( detected everything hardware related, no singel driver needed, sleep-standby-resume also works)Very nice, but unluckily it wont run PoserPro,DAZ Studio or Photoshop Elements. Also my games refuse to work in "wine".

So I am running Win7- its faster and snappier over Vista, has 2-3 features more but it is still Vista at the heart and not as fast as I wanted it to be..
