Any XP users switching to Windows 7 yet?

I know there has been talk about Windows 7 being pretty good.  I also know there are a lot of us that have been happy just sticking with XP throughout the whole Vista era.  So, the question is, are any of you XP users switching to Windows 7 now?  And I don't mean just installing it on another partition or virtualization or something.  I'm talking about the real deal.  Like, you will be using Windows 7 to do all your normal, daily computer activities.  Basically, forget about XP and move on.  Anyone making that jump yet?  Discuss...

Not me! Tried it for about two hours, the audio API was the dealbreaker for me...
I'll give it another shot when I can get a proper soundcard, but for the time being I'll stick with my copy of XP.

I've pretty much switched over.

There's nothing I really need in the Windows environment that doesn't run on Win7 so I've decided to not put it off any longer. Your mileage may vary.

(Fingers crossed. :) :Thmbsup:)

Very cool!  I've been thinking about it.  Especially since I have a nice, new rig, I figured I might as well put the latest OS on it, but XP has been running well for me.  I remember that I didn't make the switch to XP way back when for two years after it came out.  I was using ME, which ran really well for me and I've never understood all the flak it got.  Maybe I was the exception.  I did give Windows 7 a test run and it was pretty nice I suppose.  But Vista was pretty nice as a test run also.  I don't know.  Keep us informed, 40!

No - app loved it, too. I had a friend that ran it without trouble as well. I actually envied him the eye candy compared to Win98SE, but upgraded to Win2k instead.

After 18 months with Vista/Win7, I find my Win2k and WinXP machines counter-intuitive and limiting to use.
