We have been running Win7 for almost a year with NO issues - it is the bomb. The only XP box I have is virtualized and it is only for support purposes.

I also installed Win7 on a GX260 and the sound works fine. Win7 rocks I love it.

For a while Microsoft was offering half off. Don't know if that special is still available. Wouldn't hurt to check.

Stores like Staples are offering it if you buy a new computer with Vista. I don't think you'll see too many free upgrade offers otherwise.

I definitely don't need a new computer so I opted for the half price offer.

We were just told this morning that our company will NOT be deploying Vista. EVER. Straight from XP to Win7.
