]]> Comment on Which Win7 For You? by Brian Gallutia http://www.pcsdesk.com/index.php/2009/07/28/which-win7-for-you/comment-page-1/#comment-37 Brian Gallutia Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:53:14 +0000 http://www.pcsdesk.com/?p=236#comment-37 I got another email question and thought it best to post for all to enjoy... "Have you noticed anything about it locking up… more frequently than it should? I got your newsletter and was checking it out. We have it on a laptop at home and it’s locking up more than what it probably should, but that could also be the laptop itself." My response: It’s funny that you mention this. Recently, my Windows 7 has been hard-locking after recovering from power-saving mode. Unfortunately, it’s happened to me randomly and I suspect it has something to do with software that I run throughout the day. However, with a laptop, by default it probably goes into sleep mode. Is that when you’re having a problem? Finally, keep in mind that this is RC software and not finalized, so hopefully whatever the issue is, it won’t follow us into the full version.

Am I correct in saying the only difference in the two versions is BitLocker?" My response: It’s not the only difference, but as far as a feature that guys like you and me would use, BitLocker is really the only thing you’re missing. The article on the web site links to Ultimate’s features if you want to read more on it. Honestly, for me it’s going to be Home Premium at home and Professional on my laptop.

If you are upgrading from a XP version, that one loses all data from the drive. Prior applications and programs need to be re-installed. Is this True? If so, are there plans to get around this problem?" We have an upcoming article that is going to deal with the upgrade paths for Windows 7, but to address your question, there is no direct upgrade path from WindowsXP to Windows7. You can buy a Win7 Upgrade, but what will happen on an XP box is that it will be a clean install. In other words, all programs, data and settings will need to be manually re-established.
