Sure, we dont have to worry about viking raids or scurvy anymore, but instead we make a daily routine of sitting in flimsy, fibreglass (or metal) boxes full of gasoline which are propelled in opposing directions on the freeway at velocities matching that of low flying aircraft.
This is a roundabout way of saying that cars are dangerous....

And this isn't a release. It's a Developer Preview. This is the kind of thing where Microsoft themselves will say "Do not run this on your main computer". We haven't got to Beta 1 yet, let alone RTM. And as people say, SP1 is probably when you can consider it stable enough for everyday use.
Wow. I think the last huge change we had from Microsoft that was that revolutionary in interface terms was Windows 95...
I was thinking of installing win7
I'm still on WinXP service pack 3... no more support

Do it John, just remember it will be a fresh install, there is no upgrade path from XP -> 7

Yeah, you really shouldn't "upgrade" a operating system. You will cause bugs in the long run.
Most people should just backup their stuff. Do what Pete said and do a fresh install and then put your files back from the back up.
When I used to run Windows machines, every couple of months I'd reinstall windows just to remove any bugs in the system and it speeds it up a hell of a lot too... Just like a new computer every couple of months.

Its more to the point that you actually can't upgrade from XP to 7. Its impossible, you can only from vista to 7

Yeah I'm pretty sure that was most of the os's. Like you cant upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows Vista. But as I said, upgrades arn't worth it even if you can like Vista to 7. Honestly, windows hasn't impressed me since windows 98se haha.
Interesting how different OSes impress different people.
I loved Win95 when it first came out - such a change from 3.1. Win98 struck me as pointless. I started 'playing' with NT4 - but it wasn't until the release of Win2K that I found what I had been looking for. I'd count that as the second Windows that impressed me. XP didn't impress me, but I considered the 64 bit version worth switching to. (For the curious, it's actually windows 5.2 internally - and is closer to Server 2003 than XP). I got myself a legit copy of Vista - but I never actually installed it. Now using 7 on the laptop (because it came with it), and I find it OK, but not impressive. It's more a case of I can't be arsed formatting it - 7 isn't bad enough that I'd actually go through the effort of wiping it and installing XP64 - or the likely pain of finding drivers.
Might try installing 8 inside VPC soon - if that doesn't work, then I'm sure there's some spare hardware around here I can try it on
