I voted "Maybe".
Currently there's no advantage to persuade me to upgrade any of my OSes, but if Windows 7 has something compelling I'll be buying it.

I would have chosen 'Depending on the situation'.

If I needed a new computer and XP wasn't available, I would get Seven. Otherwise, XP. I refuse to get Vista.

Well, it does have "XP Mode".

Unfortunately not an advantage for me as I already have XP and VMWare for any other OSes I need to emulate.

Personally i do like the idea of XP mode. It's actually slipstreamed into the OS so it's much better using VMWare or something.

I see no option for myself.
I'd vote: Maybe, by buying new computer.
I'm happy with Vista, so I won't upgrade. If I buy a new computer, it'll be with Win 7.

I'll tell you why.
Carbon is a very young man, so obviously he doesn't have much money to buy Vista.
I told him, that as soon, as I'll get gift certificates from compruler, I'll help him out.
But....I never got those certificates.
So, it's all compruler's fault ;D

Carbon is a very young man...
True, his profile says he's under 16 (a bit young for a Moderator).
Then again, i'm not too much older than that...

This did not happen with Vista so don't hold your breath...
If you want it the pre-buy offers will save you over $100.00 US so they are the best option...
But time for thos is running out so do some research if you do oplan on upgrading.
