No, but I'll wait to see if it is any better that the disaster that was v.6.
Sticking with v.5 until I see a tide of favourable reviews.
Saludos,
Bob.

Kept a PC with XP Pro on it (just to run XARA Extreme Pro) and moved on onto MAC OS. Best move I've ever made...

As per Handrawn .... no .... I am on XP not Vista

As long as it isn't broken, I have absolutely no plans to try and fix it. With previous experience of OS's it only causes more problems with my legacy software than I need ...

Many tests shows less performance with the same hardware, windows 7 being slightly better than vista.

7 is still in beta but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I will stick with xp for now.

I'll stick with XP until software I want to use stops working with it.

Back when this question was about Windows XP I answered in the negative and kept Windows 2000. Eventually I did update to XP.

When Vista was in it's initial beta I installed it and have kept Vista updated and find it the best version of Windows as long as UAC is disabled.

I have used the Windows 7 beta and will add it to my collection when financially able to do so.

Absolutely NOT!

The DRM management is appearing more and more draconian, see:

http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?.../02/16/2259257

and as VMWare (or Parallels) is now so reasonably priced and so good (so I can run Xara!) I am moving to a Mac Pro later in the year. What took me so long?
