We were notified recently by our vendors that we will no longer be able to have Vista installed on machines we order. No big deal since we NEVER ordered a single system with Vista.

Windows 7 – We love it, but DON’T UPGRADE without talking to us.

First of all, we have found that upgrades usually create issues, we prefer clean installs.
Secondly, while we like Windows 7, it is not a “need” or must have, so use your existing system until it breaks.
Lastly, “Be Prepared”.  Be prepared to update ALL of your software.  Intuit has warned us that only their latest versions of their software work properly under Windows 7 (we have seen some of this).

So, think Vista interface running on XP and then you have Windows 7.  We will probably start shipping Windows 7 to select customers around the new year.
