How to navigate the OS and steps to get to data, execute common tasks, etc. is much easier to grasp than was XP (I skipped Vista altogether). CONS: Data transfer from XP - only one account successfully transferred back. As admin, I went ahead and recreated the former XP users. I also have not been able to relocate the "My Profiles" folders, even though I backed those up elsewhere. This will be a manual move. Blue Screen of Death - I can't believe that I have already encountered this and have done nothing really more than re-install Office. I only had Media Player open and playing music while I was renaming some files. The Event Viewer had no record of what caused the crash other than to inform me of a Kernal Error when Windows incorrectly terminated. - This seems like a major problem right now. Post install
