Why you would stick to Windows XP and not upgrade to Windows 7

Hmm. Then its up to you.

I stuck with XP when Vista came out with so many complaints from users. Even after Vista matured somewhat, it still didn't appeal to me. Windows 7 has, in my opinion, turned out to be a "horse of a different color". I was impressed enough with the RC that I decided to build another machine dedicated to the OS. (I'd evaluated the RC in VM on an XP box) As a member of MS Technet, I d/l 32-bit Win 7 Ultimate to install on the new computer.

Since the build, I have been slowly turning over production duties to the new box. I also continue to run a production XP machine next to it, and switch back and forth as needed. It will take time to get everything just right, but so far, I'm pretty happy with it.
