I finally bought Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I spent most of Thursday and Friday imaging my Windows XP partition, backing up all my program configuration files, clean installing Windows 7, and reinstalling my programs.
So far, all is well. I’m waiting to receive my 2GB ValueRAM replacement from Kingston Technology, but the other 2GB is doing alright. I’ve also been looking through Lifehacker posts tagged #Windows7.
It’ll be interesting to feel the speed boost and stability that comes with using a 64-bit operating system.
Oh, and I’ll need to update my Recommended Software list. Done.
Then I suppose only two questions remain. Are you a PC, and was this your idea?

Win7 is a nice upgrade to xp. 64-bit is great, especially if you’re rocking 4 or more gigs of RAM.
