The time has come to move on… to Windows 7 (especially if you're still on Windows XP)

It's time to make a move away from Windows… Windows XP that is.

As Rich Reynolds noted in his post on the Windows team blog commemorating Windows XP this week…

"We’ve been talking a lot about the anniversary of Windows XP and how much technology and business have changed since a decade ago when it launched. Today we officially commemorate its 10 year anniversary and we also celebrate the anniversary of Windows 7 officially being in market for two years on Saturday.

"We also thought it would be fun to represent the shifts over the last decade through this infographic.

                  

"Although a lot has changed since we launched Windows XP, the one constant that remains is our focus on enriching people’s lives through the power of technology."

I agree.

And perhaps with all the talk of "falling behind" and changing the batteries in your smoke detectors, I'll say that upcoming "fall back" from daylight saving time is a good time to go out and get a new PC, or at least upgrade to Windows 7. (Disclosure: I upgraded my own HP Touchsmart to Windows 7 from Windows Vista.)

Get a good-looking new PC. It’s a great time to get a new PC that, as the Windows team says, goes great with your living room and your budget. I'm looking to replace my now three year old PC at home with a new All-in-One (love the design of the HP Touchsmart) and considering the latest version of the line, such as this HP TouchSmart 610-1151f. (The new 420 and 520 model in the line are also quite nice.) I'm also looking at the new Sony VAIO VPCL235FX/B and the Samsung DP700 (which you can use as a mega-slate, with it's full flat design).
