Upgrade from Vista to Windows 7?

Is it worth upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7?
Nigel, Sydenham

If your machine is running Vista, it will most likely work with Windows 7 – it’s lighter, uses less power and less memory – so you should find everything working more quickly. You can download a small program from the Microsoft website which will check if your PC will work with it.

We’ve been playing with Windows 7 recently and everyone who used it preferred it to Vista. But unless you’re having problems with Vista, I wouldn’t say it’s worth upgrading. 7 is an improvement, but most people think it’s what Vista should have been in the first place.
