That's why I install it to a D: drive so i can hose my install and not loose wow.

I won't try to convince you to upgrade - but if you plan to, you might want to consider taking advantage of some great pricing deals that might not be available when you do decide to jump.

There is family pack pricing - You can upgrade 3 PC's to Home Premium for $149 (saving over $200). Even if you want to wait until SP1 you might want to grab this deal.

There is also a Upgrade 1, get the second 50% deal.

Just a thought.

Wow, I'm so glad you just posted this -- I was on the fence because I didn't want to have to decide where to use the upgrade (laptop or desktop) and now I can use for both -- hm.

I've noticed a large jump in latency since I switched to 7, I'll have to give that application a try.

You know, I'm very pleased to see people (more or less) excited about a new version of windows!



I'll probably pick it up in a couple weeks and see how it works on my iMac.

As usual, Penny Arcade nails it!
