Preferably never, because i am keeping win xp no matter what microsoft does to force me into buying some new crappy os.
I agree, and im not happy with Win 7 either, even if it runs nicely. I simply loathe the new toolbar and Start menu. Progress. Bah. Stupidity I call it! Might end up going back to Win XP really. insane isnt it..
In summary:
We fear change, who stole my packet of Werther's Original and why doesn't EvE come on 1.44Mb floppy disks?
Why change anything for the change itself? many dont like it. And it is I who pays their salaries by bying their OSes. Not to mention theres no real alternative for us who dont like it. heck, they could at least make the old one optional, but nooo. So its a step back for my part. And many others I know.
its also stupid comparing an increase in number of megabytes with a software change. While the first one icnreases storage nothing else, the OS change changes the way you work. Thats a difference! For me, its like changing from working with a computer with a harddrive to working with a computer with CD storage and booting only. Stupid
Windows XP was not perfect. True Vista was worse in alot of ways, and should never have been _worse_ performance wise. But W7 fixes that. It's not really change, its updating for a price. Would it make you feel better if these changes came in the form of a download update like service packs? I know we all love how CCP gives us expansions for free (though not really free, MS would give out W7 on the sidewalks of every street if people payed monthly subs for it).

It appears that the best arguments fan boys managed to come up with so far is... "Well, its as fast as XP and not as bad as Vista!" Then they ran off to buy a "new" version because some piece of software was intentionally prevented from working on the "old" one 
More like the software maker doesn't want to waste their time supporting an outdated OS such as XP. I know I don't waste my time with outdated OSes when I make my programs or outdated browsers when I make web apps.
Fact is W7 is an actual upgrade from XP, whereas Vista was only halfway. People who claim W7 is just an optimized version of Vista do not understand what was really changed in Vista and W7. People just don't want to pay for new OS. Which is valid, but they shouldn't be angry when some piece of software doesn't run on their antiquated XP box.
Go install Linux or something.
