My Acer came with Vista, but with the free upgrade offer to 7. Got the Win7 upgrade this week, did it last night. Acer provided a complete upgrade, not just the Win7 disk. You start with the Acer disk that steps you thru pre-install, backing up data, etc, then passes control to the Win7 disk for the actual update. I chose the clean install. After it was done, the Acer disk helped you restore everything you backed up and updated a bunch of drivers. Pretty painless for the novice. Reinstalled all my programs and all is well! Just a couple of minor things didn't get updated, like the drivers for the web cam and touch pad. Got those from the Acer website.

So, now the acid test begins....

Can't deny that. My handle for many many years was MacMan. A PC this time around was based simply on cost.

Mac and PC have had similar stats if you go based on % as far as how often the computers break down, need to be replaced, or other similar problems. The added cost for a Mac is not justified because they're not better. It's like throwing away money that could easily be saved.

Not so grasshopper ...

typically a PC is done for in 3 - 5 yrs ....

Mac's keep on chugging way past that ..... My Apple G4 450 (acquired in 2000 @ 6 months old) is still just fine for web and email .... of course all the IE Centric web sites are a pain ....
