LOL...I just purchased a new computer, it is running the latest version of vista and I get a free upgrade to windows 7..but I am afraid my art and Hebrew programs won't work right with it. I was just as nervous about vista in the beginning.
This version of vista is totally cool...the windows are transparent with a tint you can customize...so whatever the desktop is, matches the window for a great look and all my programs run perfect. I don't want to lose that.
So I am biting my nails and waiting for an answer as well...

Pretty sure that if you're programs are running well under Vista that they should work just fine in Win 7. Its people that are using XP that "may" have an issue with their software on Win 7, just the same way that people had some issues moving from XP to Vista.

Do I get to keep the cool new windows with the tint? Do you actually have windows 7? What are some of the features?

Sorry, no info on the computer program, but Joe, I want to know how anything can be "clean" when you are involved?

Can you keep us posted? I have until the end of Nov. to upgrade for free..I will wait and see what you say...or if Joe gets brave and goes ahead... I can let him be the guinea pig...
I have to add this...when I went from XP to Vista, my software no longer worked, I had to call and get upgrades on almost everything...even the dumb book worm game would no longer work. That's why I am afraid to upgrade to windows 7..I am in the middle of a project.

Sure! Dont know if I'll get it before then though. I never like to be the first guy on the block with a new operating system. I dont even use Vista!

Windows 7 uses the same kernel as Windows Vista. The kernel is the core of the OS that runs everything.
So as Dragon said, if it runs on Vista, it should run on Windows 7 just fine. I'm running 7 and Vista on various machines, and frankly 7 isn't that much different, aside from some GUI enhancements clearly designed to take on MacOS. Vista had quite a few bugs at first but if you keep up with your updates and therefore have the latest service pack for Vista, there isn't a whole lot of reason to upgrade.
An upgrade from XP however might be worth it.
One thing that Windows 7 has is a more robust virtualization feature set, with the intent of being able to run something called "XP Mode." I haven't used that particular feature myself, but basically it allows you to run XP within 7 so if you have any old applications that do not work with anything newer than XP, you can still run them with 7. You could do this with Vista as well, but it wasn't nearly as integrated and required a lot more techie knowledge.
You can learn about XP mode here:

Do you have all of your Corp workstations already converted to Vista?
