Any XP users switching to Windows 7 yet?

f0dder:
cmpm: in which ways do you find w7 to be faster than XP? (Not that I disagree, just want to hear other people's opinion :)).

UAC is annoying at first, but you get used to it quickly - and it's good for security (just remember to crank the UAC security level to the max in the control panel, otherwise it's useless).

cmpm:
everything starts faster, most notably firefox

there doesn't seem to be as much process' starting or they start faster
dunno?

SuperFetch :-*

For me the nice thing about the startup is that you get control of your system much earlier (even if it hasn't fully finished the startup process).

Yes - my experience is that Vista 64 and Win7 64 boot to the login prompt in about the same amount of time. The big difference, however, is that Win7 loads to a useable desktop in a few seconds whereas Vista and XP take quite a bit longer to do the same. The Vista/Win7 comparison are on the same machine.
