Default Windows 7

Hey, Alienware sent me a Windows 7 upgrade for free. Anyone using it and what do you think? Since my new computer came with Windows Vista Ultimate and a 4G ram, I'm wondering if I should just live with Vista now or step "up" to 7... What cha think?

Been using Win7 for months on several machines without issue. I think it's far more stable than Vista was.

Tried 7 the other day, definatly a step above Vista, and comperable or better than XP. If I was still running Vista I would definately upgrade, with XP I would wait a while, at least until the first service pack is released.

Personally I am going to wait until I need a new computer in another year or 2. Although I have been looking at netbooks to replace my 5 year old laptop. If I do buy a new one it will certainly have 7, but other than that I have no real need or want to upgrade

Default Hurray For India And Hurray For Dell!!!

Okay, so I drop my 1720 a few weeks ago and call my good Indian buddies at Dell customer care to repair it. They send me a box, I send it back, they fix it, I get it back-not perfect, I send it back again, they repair it again, I get it back-still not right, I go ballistic, I get brand new Alienware M17X

This computer is the whip compared to my old Inspiron!!! Which I get to keep also...they didn't send a return box and they have nothing but an address and phone number for me... Btw they replaced my lcd screen and the first time it came back, it worked fine. When I got it back the second time after they replaced the graphics card, the left side of the screen is darker than the right side. A buddy thinks that I need a new screen again-does everyone agree?

I have it on one computer, it's way better than vista, no issues with it.
