My laptop is about to give up the ghost

Posted by SteveOH PM | on Sun, 14/08/2011 - 17:36  2578  14 comments | report

My laptop will need replacing fairly soon. The thing is that a new one will probably come preloaded with Windows 7. I currently use Vista Home Premium and I would really appreciate others' views on Windows 7. Is it a lot different to use? Are there any software compatibility issues? I use AccountingWeb (:)), VT, FreeAgent, Moneysoft Payroll Manager, BTC Tax.

I would also probably upgrade to Office 2010 from Office 2007. Would that be a good idea? Are they similar to use; i.e. with the same Ribbon interface etc.

Many thanks.
