Windows 7 is everything vista should have been.
It's faster and more reliable.
Get it!

No shit. So no problems with driver support? 64 or 32 bit?

I'd go with 32 bit. Why ask for trouble!

Installed Windows 7 64-bit professional here a while ago

No problem at all with anything.

Not as far as I'm aware. A couple of computer geeks at work have windows 7 already and they swear it's faster than XP.
Don't even consider vista.

Point is...it's a waste of time getting vista cos it's slower than XP and less reliable with compatability issues. Vista is a step backwards IMO.
7 is the next step up. And if it's better than XP...

When I make a spelling mistake and press backspace my Firefox goes back a page and I lose what I'm writing, it never used to do this, and it's really pissing me off. Help me

?

In your URL form (The place where you type your web addresses) type:

about:config
Press OK on the warning
In the filter form near the top, type: browser.backspace_action
Double-click the preference and type 2 in the value field, then press OK.

That will unmap the backspace key from the back button, and you won't have that problem anymore.
