Please be aware that of today October 22 2009, Windows 7 is officially out! Declassing Windows XP as a third generation old Operating System.

I recommand anyone who still has XP but were still hesitating due to the overwelming (<.<) popularity of Vista to have a second look at this new & better version of Vista: Win7.

Tho it STILL doesn't integrate the now soo long awaited Salamand revolutionary driver upgrade promised since WinXP, it does seem at first view like a much better system including various advantages from Vista and yet, not all of its faults.

I will give more news as time passes by to test this new release.
