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. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 8:37 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows 7 pre-orderDo you have experience of the improved user account control and/or the jump list? These sound interesting. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---- Original Message ---- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 8:16 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows 7 pre-orderYeah 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. -- Chris Hallsworth e-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carol Pearson" <carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 15, 2009 5:08 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Windows 7 pre-orderSo, why shell out for Windows 7? A quick run-down of the "improved" or "new" facilities would be nice, please ... -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ---- Original Message ---- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, July 14, 2009 7:28 PM Subject: [access-uk] Windows 7 pre-orderHello 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.
