I have XP on a partition as I have a few Windows only programs and I heard 7 was much better. To tell the truth I have only booted in Windows a few times so you may just be right. :roll:

It seems like Win7 will be a decent consumer OS, though if you already have a functioning XP installation and don't use it much I'm not sure if there are compelling reasons to update it to 7.

You know your right. OSX is sooo much better.
