Actually yes...just as soon as I get my butt back to work and save up the bucks. Win7 should be on the market by then. Hopefully I can get me one that's decent enough to handle all the new stuff comin' out.

Purchased a new computer in April, an off the shelf Gateway model that has quad core, 8 GB of memory and runs Vista Home Premium 64 bit.  I should not have any problems running Win 7 when I decide to upgrade. 

Oh and I still have my P4, 2 GB, XP Home 32 bit system that was revived from near death.

Probably should have had a response option for folks like myself and the others who have all ready purchased a computer this year, just a thought.

With the economy the way it is? You've GOT to be kidding! I lost my job in April after 13 years with the company... and nothing is on the horizon at all.

I have a relatively new computer right now, so I'm not planning on buying another this year. It would be nice to be able to afford a second one though.

No.

If I had any spare money I would spend it on my house, not a pc. Priorities

I really, really need to replace the one I'm using now, but as with the others here who have experienced financial set backs....groceries and utilities come before computer acquisitions.  I chose "Maybe" because, you just never know....its conceivable my husband could find work, or....I don't even want to think of the other ways one comes into money...it could happen, but the way things stand at this present moment, it's quite doubtful.

I am saving every cent from now on to get one of these so the PC I have will have to get me to the end.  http://www.fhm.com/reviews/gadgets/bugatti-veyron-164-grand-sport-gets-tested-20090601

I just upgraded my PC...I build my own computers. Just installed a new CPU, RAM, and a video card...so, I will be ready for Windows 7. Unfortunately, no funds for a new laptop...gotta stay with the one I have...so, I will still be using XP on it...it is not powerful enough for either Vista or Windows 7....durn!
