I found Win XP to be the only acceptable ms os for many years. Vista was a big step backward. But since my new computer came with Win 7, I haven't looked back. No problems so far. Though I fought hard to get the stores to sell me a computer with Win Xp, in the end Win 7 is better than XP.

On my laptop : I managed to set up a triple boot : Mac OS 10.6, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04. I also have Windows XP in a virtual machine on it.

You can activate windows over the phone. just go through the instuctions you are given by the annoying robot lady and here is the important bit. When she asks "have you used this copy of windows before?" or "have you installed this on a previous machine?" blah blah blah, MAKE SURE YOU SAY NO. then continue and you SHOULD be able to use windows 7 as normal. OH and disconnect your PC from the internet while doing this just incase.
who installs only one. Os on a PC? I got 3 installed. and can boot windows XP windows 7 and Linux at will. you can't play games with out Microsoft's direct x. Linux ports for games or 3d studio Max/maya take forever and the fucking Mac os is worthless for everything and should only be used with the crap mac as a overpriced shiny ass 20 pound paperweight.
