Ok.. So Windows 7 is here.. finally ! And there’s a lot of stuff on the net which basically says, Upgrade N O W !! :) So should you go ahead and upgrade for the heck of it or wait till the bugs and flaws are ironed out?

WinXP-Win7 dual boot

Personally I’ve been using Vista over the past couple of years and haven’t really come across the “numerous” problems that seem to plague users.

A majority of people I know seem to have stuck to good old WinXP, adding service packs whenever they are made available. They also find XP running like a well oiled machine now, and are reluctant to upgrade. However, there is also a degree of anticipation thanks to the hype generated by Windows 7, so they are eager to get a taste of it, but without totally junking XP.

So what’s the way out? Well, one way to do so is use both in a dual-boot config, so you can do your testing as well as regular work without any compromises. Once you’re comfortable with Windows 7, you can set Windows 7 as the primary OS and remove XP.

Here is a nice article on how you can create a Windows XP and 7 dual-boot system for an easy migration. Hope you find it useful.

For the moment though, I’m still sticking to Vista.. :)
