This isn&#8217;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&#8217;ll be nice to have it on my main box.

Someday soon I&#8217;ll make that upgrade. It&#8217;ll be a long, boring day, honestly. But I&#8217;ll make it happen. I&#8217;m sure to tell you all about it when I do, too.<\/p>\n<p>Feature I&#8217;m most looking forward to? Well, I bet Windows 7 will have less shitty support for multiple monitors. That excites me quite a bit.
