Thank you Susan. That makes me feel a little bit better now. When my time comes to get Windows 7, I’ll hold my nose and jump in with both feet and swim like crazy. Once I stop fighting with the idea of change, I’ll do all right like with everything else.
Thanks for the encouragement.

I use Pyzam for my home page, with uses Google’s search engine. I also perfer not to have a lot of information all over my home page. I like Pyzam cause you can select from hundreds if not thousands of designs, movie themes, etc. to use as your home page and it has a place to search from on Google anytime you want to! I also use XP with Fire fox and not really looking forward to switching to windows 7 either. Not to mention my computer not set up to run windows 7 so I still have to find out what I’ll need to do to get that to work on my computer? I know there’s many cool features out there now that only work on windows 7 too, so sooner or later I will bite the bullet so to speak and switch over! I’ve also heard some programs will be hard to switch over if not impossible to windows 7 from XP, Although I found a cool program over on http://www.worldstart.com that claims it can make all your xp programs be easily switched to Windows 7 and it’s not very expensive so I may get it just to give it a try when I do switch over!

Wait till you change to windows 7! I did NOT want to change but when I did I wish I had changed earlier! There is nothing bad about windows 7 that I know of. I have been using it for almost a year now! IT IS GREAT! Very user friendly, so many usefull and helpful applications. Check out someone who has windows 7!

Evelyn, I hate change. It seems that Vista didn’t turn out so good, but Windows 7 is supposed to be as good as, or better than, Windows XP. It is supposed to have more new improvements. I just know that when I get it, I will feel like I’m just starting to use a computer for the first time all over again. For example, I read that we won’t be able to update Internet Explorer 8 to IE 9 unless we change to Windows 7. Some of my old programs may not be compatible with Windows 7. They won’t update Windows XP any more. It goes on and on so that we have no alternative but to change to Windows 7. I am so comfortable and satisfied with Windows XP the way it is now.

LOL ….. I thought I was the only one that was dreading going to Windows 7. My Della XP does just fine. I just hate to waste the time learning what I shouldn’t do on Windows 7…..and I will waste time with errors and goof-ups. Thanks Irenke’….I don’t feel so all alone now.

Use Opera, as a browser, then ‘speed dial does it all.

I’m with Gary. I’d rather have a clean search page. News i get from separate news links. In fact all of my browsers have altered home pages since I don’t like clutter on the homepage – a single column with a minimum of info is best as far as I am concerned.

Funny, every time I use Google I get a message from my antivirus saying they blocked 2 attacks from Google . I use them for auto fill and spel check though and apparently I look for less esoteric stuff than some of you all. Yahoo has never once not found what I was looking for.

I have been using IncrediMail for about 7 years now and haven’t had any problems at all. Since Kim Komando keeps saying negative things about Internet Explorer and recommends Mozilla Firefox, I’ve been using Firebox for several years now with no problems with Comcast as my home page since that is my server. I get all my news, sports, entertainment, etc. there. I still use Internet Explorer 8 to do my automatic Microsoft Windows Updates. I also use Yahoo and MSN with Firefox with no problems. I have Outlook Express but just don’t like it even though it works just fine for me. I like Bing first, then Google and Yahoo in that order for searches. I also have Google Chrome but rarely use it. Right now I have a Dell with Windows XP and love it. I’m on my computer a lot and enjoy using it. I dread the day I have to change to Windows 7.
