Nice... Now all I have to do is learn how to use this new OS. So far it's got me baffled.

Windows 7 is not much different to Vista, at least on the surface, but the leap from XP is bigger. I have XP on the work machine and Win 7 on my home desktop, and even an old codger like me can manage .

I'm still trying to work out what the Ultimate version is giving me for the extra money, over and above the Professional version? Probably all enterprise and business related (sigh).
