Ooh. I'm still using Vista (though I've heard the transition from XP to Vista is harder than the Vista to 7 transition). I've considered the upgrade but having no money it's not an option. XP What programs did you lose?
Oh, Vista. I used Vista for like two weeks last summer on a rental laptop while Sally was ~in care~. And I learned to loathe Vista in those two weeks.
But, honestly, 7 is very similar to Vista except with all of the annoying stuff, the memory-chewing processes, and bad design features engineered out of it. It's so cool. And not annoying. In fact I think it's faster and works better than XP. And I didn't have to pay for it, which is the best part!
I lost a handful of games, a foreign-language-tutorial program, Photoshop CS5...probably some other stuff I've forgotten. I'll live.
I don't actually mind Vista all that much. It's adequate for what I use my computer for. I have no particular attachment to it, but I don't hate it.
Free stuff is always awesome. XP
My ex's uncle did something with programming or whatever and so she got a beta version of Windows 7 before it was officially released. It had a lot of bugs then and she hated it. But the point of beta versions is to figure out what needs to be fixed before it's released, so... XP From what I've heard, the bugs she had were all fixed before the full release.
Well I can't help with any of the other programs, mostly because you're not specific, but I can tell you that Photoshop CS7 is very easy to obtain online, and serial codes are easy to find as well.
CS7? Really? I didn't even know that existed. Is it amazing? Should I go hunt it down? ...I found a source for CS3 and installed it, but is CS7 a lot better? *is unsure*
I don't remember what the language program was called, which is frustrating me because I'm pretty sure it was freeware and legal and also amazing so I would like to get it back. If I could remember what it was. I may have a link to it in an email somewhere, I'm going to see if I can hunt it down.
The games were largely of the Diner Dash series, and my original source unfortunately no longer exists. :|
...in tangentially related news, I have discovered that one of my EHDs is apparently not yet compatible with Windows 7 which is incredibly frustrating because...there's a lot on there that I would like easy access to.
