I've read quite a lot of positive reviews about Win7, but I've also grown quite attached to all the programs I currently have on my XP SP3. If I have to purchase upgrades to those programs, this $50 deal suddenly doesn't look so great.
I can almost predict that someone is going to suggest that I download the latest Win7 RC and try it out on my DELL laptop (which is less than a year old), and it would be a good idea. If you do, could you also direct me to a website that will show me how to partition the hard drive and make my laptop dual bootable; and, once I'm finished testing Win7 out thoroughly, how I can return my laptop back to single booting? (Would restoring the laptop to a previously saved image be the simplest way to do that?)
Hopefully, I'm not asking too much!
