Windows 7 pre sale has certainly generated quite a lot of interest, not only has Amazon sold out of the Home Premium but the Microsoft online presence has been taken down due to high demand.

Anyone contemlating the update may want to visit this page for the upgrade advisor software to check their setup will take it.

Well, I've taken a look and found out as much, really, as you've been able to tell me. I think I'm going to have to wait until I get a new computer because I didn't see any way of checking compatibility for a machine currently running XP and it may not be worth it for one which is now over five years.

I do. Basically you are only prompted if a third party  program, like
an installation program, tries to perform  some action. Windows
programs, on the other hand, you  won't be prompted. Also, in Vista,
you had to listen to  the whole prompt and see if there's a continue
button
(alt+c) or an allow button (alt+a). This won't be the  case as
regardless of the prompt it's always yes button  (alt+y). With the jump
lits feature, you right click an  application, pinned or unpinned, on
the taskbar, and you  can, for example, view the last ten web pages
you've  visited, or view the last ten word documents you've  worked on.
So hope this helps.

Do you have experience of the improved user account control and/or
the jump list?  These sound interesting.

Yeah sure. You can find out more at www.windows7.com.
The main improvements are very fast shutdown and bootup times; more
responsive than even XP; fully compatible with most modern hardware
and software; improved search; improved user account control;
improved accessibility in some areas, i.e. network and sharing
centre; pin/unpin applications from the taskbar; jump lists; and
that may be it.

So, why shell out for Windows 7?  A quick run-down of the
"improved" or "new" facilities would be nice, please ...

Hello all,
I'd like to announce that for those in the EU, including UK
customers, you can pre-order Windows 7 from selective retailers
from tomorrow (July 15) to August 14, or whenever all stocks ran
out, depending on what's first. You can pre-order Windows 7 Home
Premium for just £50 and Windows 7 Professional for just £100.
From tomorrow go to www.windows7.com, click the get Windows 7
link, click the change link, select United Kingdom in the combo
box of countries, and follow the instructions to pre-order. The
product itself won't be released till October 22, but if you order
now you'll have the full product at over half
price.   Enjoy! --
