I’ve got this copy of Windows 7 Ultimate, completely legit, sitting right here next to me. I’d love to have Windows 7 on here.

I just don’t want to install it.

I keep making lists in my head of everything I need to back up. Chat logs. DnD characters for these campaigns I’m about to do. MP3s. All my iPod games, somehow. So much stuff to potentially forget. Then it’s all the time it would take to reinstall all my key programs and get everything set up…

Most of the time, when I have to do this, it’s because of a catastrophic problem such that going through all that is better than not, or because going through all that is going to get me a nice, beefy, new machine, ready to roll. This isn’t going to get me either. This will be the exact same machine with the exact same power. Granted, I quite like Windows 7, and it’ll be nice to have it on my main box. But the difference won’t be huge. It’s hard to find the motivation.

Some day this summer. Just like all the other things I have to do this summer. Someday soon I’ll make that upgrade. It’ll be a long, boring day, honestly. But I’ll make it happen. I’m sure to tell you all about it when I do, too.

Feature I’m most looking forward to? Well, I bet Windows 7 will have less shitty support for multiple monitors. That excites me quite a bit. We’ll see when I install it, though, I suppose.
