Free Toshiba Win 7 Home Premium disc arrived in the mail yesterday. Vista is running perfectly on the laptop, no immediate plans to upgrade, maybe wait until system gets sluggish and a service pack or two are released.

This benchmark shows XP runs Firefox 11% faster than Windows 7. They did not see the same improvement in other programs, but some people use primarily Firefox most of the time they are using a computer. Firefox under XP and Windows 7
On the other hand, benchmarked speed of a program and perceived responsiveness are different. A program may benchmark faster or take less time to recalculate a spreadsheet, etc. under one O/S, but may feel much more responsive under another. Some people claimed that responsiveness in the UI was better in Vista than XP even though nearly all benchmarks were much worse.

how can i get that free cd too?
tia Buy a new computer between July 2009 and Sept 2009 with Vista, and it should be upgrade eligible. (Yes, I realize this doesn't help now.)
I have no plans to upgrade... I will more then likely get a new laptop in 2 years and I am sure they will have some of the bugs worked out by then.. running vista now and have had zero issues with it so far

Bought a Toshiba laptop in August w/free upgrade to Windows 7. Got around to filling out online form 2 weeks ago, disc came this week.
I got a free copy of ultimate from an MS launch event I went to. Haven't installed it - I have a "hackintosh" I was fooling around with that's sitting at a friend's house - probably going to get it back from him and put it on there. I've had like 3 coworkers ask me if they could have it...
Is a hackintosh a PC with Mac OS or a Mac with Windows?
Have you heard anything about upgrades to 7? I've only heard of decent reviews of new computers w/7, but not upgrades. No one I know has rushed out to get it.
