It took me 1 year in the half to dump XP. |

I quite like it myself...what I don't like is how much it would cost me to upgrade my other systems, so they continue to live in XP land. |

With a little search on Google you can find a patch to enable remote desktop in Home editions of Win 7.
I've been using it for over a year on a old computer I turned into a server with no problems.
I also like Windows 7. A lot. The first version I used was Win95 and Win 7 is the most stable one I got since that time. |

Remember that. There are always alternatives to Windows 7 futures like VM or remote control desktop. |

...or VNC, or NoMachine NX, or maybe a few others.
TeamViewer is good, but it's closer in function to GoToMyPC or GoToAssist...in other words, uses a central server to facilitate connections. VNC is closer to RDP without the encryption layer (which some variants might provide, such as Ultra or Tight). |

Used to loooooove XP as it was just so good at installing after a format. But it didn't last, things started to creep in. Took a few years though.
What I like about Windows 7, is even a bowl of jello can install it.
It's just not possible to remain polite when people tell me that they have troubles installing Windows 7.
Windows 7 hasn't radically improved my life or anthing, I just like that I can clean slate the computer and reinstall in so little time. Granted, re downloading the massive sum of updates is no better than it always was for any version.
I wonder if some day they will make a Windows that can survive a year not needing to be fixed? |

My current PC has Win 7 Installed close to 3 years now. I may a slight slow down on boot up nothing major like on XP and amazingly I have not seen the BSOD yet!! |

I don't think any of my Windows Install had to be fixed in less than 2 years unless I had hardware or hd space issues.
My work laptop with win7 is going on 3 years with the same install and my home PC running XP is about to hit 3 years with the same install. |

I can easily go a year without needing to fix anything. Without any anti-malware other than ClamWin that is a on-demand only scanner. I do everything with my computer. Games, TV, browsing, etc
Linux on the other hand on every PC/laptop I owned I had to 'fix' so the installer would run (either no video on boot or freezing mid-install), no video on boot after installing, getting devices to work, and in my most recent endeavor updating a fresh install the package manager stalled on one package completely fubaring everything. It was faster to reinstall and the mighty terminal could not help.
I normally end up compiling a new kernel from vanilla sources because one provided by the distro is buggy, it usually alleviates some problems. My first distro was Slackware, complete opposite of Ubuntu. |

The same here. I do not run any protection at all for years, and no infections whatsoever. |

Still, if you know where to NOT click on the Internet and your firewall is protecting you properly, then you won't get any viruses. I do have Avast installed but it never detected anything. |

I have found win 7 to run better than xp even on low resource computer like 1.5 ghz 768mb ram.
Also for those remote desktop patchers. You can get a patched file to allow multiple concurrent logins. So while one person is using the computer, another person can remote desktop on it at the same time without affecting each other. 2 or more people can use the same computer at the same time.
I hope when windows 8 arm is released people quickly hack it for the ipad. I got a free ipad 3 and putting windows 8 on it and being able to run office apps would exponentially increase the utility of the ipad. |
