For the month of October we thought it would be interesting to see how many users are planing on upgrading to Windows 7 that is being released October 22, 2009. Feel free to make any comments about why you are or are not upgrading, what version you're planning on running, and other feelings you have about this release of Windows.

All past monthly polls and results can also be found on the Computer Hope poll page.

I've seen the prices and it's just to high according to me to upgrade now... I'll wait until march, then my RC version starts to shut down every 2 hours... so then I'll buy a legal version.

Also my laptop runs Win7 and I'm testing Linux Ubuntu at the moment on a virtual machine.. so I might go to that.

Wondering what others will do :)

Waiting for MS to send my copy with the next action pack, then I'll install as a dual boot on my primary home system. I really have too many apps installed to do a clean install, but eventually I may see how things work with a Vista Ultimate to 7 Ultimate upgrade (with a backup image, of course). I would never recommend an OS in-place upgrade to anyone, but I may give it a shot at some point.

Yes, Ubuntu Linux is very good. I tested on a virtual machine and on a live CD for a few months and It is now my primary OS.

I voted "Yes - but waiting". I would get it right now but none of my PC's will run it very well if they could run it at all. I'll get Win7 with my next hardware upgrade. But after being a beta tester I think is definitely the best version of Windows.

I did a clean reinstall of XP on both my laptop and desktop this spring and both are running very nicely.  I may upgrade to windows 7 in the future but I'm in no hurry since I have no problems with XP and I see no need to get the latest and greatest "just because."

I was invited to a special Microsoft event, where they handed out free copies to everyone that attended.

The "Microsoft: The New Efficiency Technical Briefing." It was an all day thing where they talked about new features, roll out and deployment plans, along with Server 2008 R2 details.
IT was pretty fun! AND I got Ultimate as a gift along with a shirt! And a notepad!

I said Not Sure - because I'm planning on a new build for sometime near Christmas, and if I get a free upgrade to 7, then that'll be great!

Don't worry about it.  If it's not good at stock, then it's not good.
