OH FUN!!! <br><br> Highly recommended...Get <a href="http://www.runtime.org/data-recovery-software.htm" target="_blank">GetDataBack for NTFS</a>. Worth the $80 price to get back your data.

(which I never understood). <br><br> But, from what little I've read about Win7, it doesn't look like there's much of a change from Vista to 7. I could be wrong, as I haven't been following the blogosphere on this topic. But, I know for myself, I'm torn. <br><br> I liked Vista but after a while, I went back to XP Pro. I'm happy, but I feel that I'm missing out on the "latest and greatest". When XP was released, I too held back from upgrading from Windows 2000. Now that I'm fully adopted into XP, the whole "upgrade" history is starting over. <br><br> Aside from you Mac zealots, is anyone looking forward to Windows 7?
