i personally think waiting a few months would be the better option..
let them iron out all the kinks and wait for the price to drop abit.
I will be going for the Professional Edition and at R2000 odd, find it abit to pricy.
but thats just me :P
agreed, I'll wait until its fist service pack is released then go out and get it.
There's no reason to wait. Testing has found win 7 to be very stable and fast. Pricing is fantastic on win 7. I am paying nearly half of what I payed for vista home premium.
I am waiting for the release and all the hype to die down a bit.
I agree there is no reason to wait on the stability front, as the release candidate is very stable and performs very well.
I am saving up for it at the moment, since my 3 month old daughter has taken all my savings. :( :P
But it is recommended to do a clean install for best results. Wash, rinse, repeat...Quote:
If you have Vista, you can do an 'upgrade'
In fact you don't need to format, but neither upgrade...
You can install win 7 and vista where it just moves your old program files, documents and windows folders into a folder called windows.old
I still prefer formatting first tho :P
This is the first windows ever, I'd buy on the day of release if I had the money to do so.
I have absolutely no probs with this windows. It even plays Vampire: Bloodlines boja
Ya, If you going to install a new OS, It is advisable to format.Quote:

Cant wait to get the final release.
