not quite true - there are compelling reasons to move
from XP. Changes to the core operating system code to
move it in to the generation of multithreading and secure
code actually makes win 7 run faster and more secure than
xp on smaller, less powerful cpus. There is also things like
the progress in the driver model between XP and win 7,
seriously, XP can be ruined by drivers and there is very
little integrity in a lot of hardware manufacturers driver
code. A lot is hack rubbish. 64 bit win 7 makes PCs (even
the small ones) more reliable and secure too. This is all
coming from someone who is actually a Mac user, but a
Windows programmer.
