We will have to see what happens in the coming year...

Win7 is also *much* better in security compared to XP as well. However, if your employer hasn't deployed it - I suppose there is little you can do about it :) ~Bala The Win7 Professional/Ultimate editions come with the ‘WinXP mode’ (a Virtual Machine) that enables apps that absolutely require XP to still be run.

However my employer has not deployed Win7 yet and several applications we use may not work with it so we are still running most of our computers on XP. That is a splendid idea Bala.

There are so many tweaks and performance upgrade specifically for SSDs that make it worth it. ~Bala Actually, if you’re running a machine with SSD – I would *strongly* recommend you upgrade to Win7.
