My computer was designed for Vista back in the summer (right before 7 came out) i put XP on instead. Do u think 7 will run very smooth on my laptop? right now XP is kind of annoying me

If it was designed for Vista and has sufficient RAM (3GB) and a fast HD, you're all set.

Just like Quicksilver, using XP via VMware Fusion 3.0 on OS X 10.6.3 on both MacBookPro and iMac. Have a couple apps from hospital that forces me to use XP for this year, but by next year, that will be history will be able to use any browser to access lab data.

I've got 4 laptops, all w/ various purposes:

Toshiba Satelittle L25-1093, running XP = Probably too old and slow to run Vista or even 7. The only reason why it's staying XP is because I use it to download and for some reason PeerGuardian 2 just doesn't seem to run properly on either of my Vista machines. This machine also stays permanently in the garage because the connection on the back is loose, so I don't move it around. Besides downloading, it's also used for streaming music while working on cars and will also be turned into my GT1 machine once I get all the right heads.

Dell Latitude D620, running XP. Picked up this little guy about a month ago for $150 w/ a docking station so that I can leave it hooked up to my TV and be able to watch the movies I've downloaded using the garage machine over the network. It also floats around the house w/ me randomly, so it just depends on which machine is closer. I'm actually running the Advisor that Michelle mentioned to see if 7 will work on here, just so I can have the latest and greatest OS.

Compaq Presario C717NR, running Vista. I've got two of these, one for me that stays permanently in the office (great Logitech setup, wireless hub for the printers, scanners, etc) since I got the Dell, and one for the little ones to use. Unfortunately the machine in my office had an LCD failure, so it's been getting used less lately I wouldn't mind upgrading these to Win7 as well, so if the Dell machine passes their tests, I might start there and see if I like the GUI of 7 over XP/Vista.

All machines are running some version of Orb or WinAmp Remote so I can stream music and videos throughout the house. I've watched that Win7 commercial about how they can stream directly from the laptop to their TV wirelessy, but I've yet to see what it'd actually take to do that. I've used Win7 once on someone elses computer, and I couldn't get Windows Media Player to layout that way I like it, so I stopped trying there...I'm impatient

UPDATE : So the Dell machine can run Win7 just fine, but apparently the bluetooth might have issues since there might not be drivers available yet. I can also run both 32-bit vs 64-bit versions of Win7, so has anyone tried running one vs the other to see which they liked better?
