So, previously I have dual booted Vista with Windows 7 beta and RC. While I didn't notice a huge difference between Vista and Windows 7, there is some little piece of me that bought into all the "Windows 7 smokes Vista" talk. So naturally, as soon as Windows 7 Pro became available on MSDNAA, I downloaded it. Today I spent about 3 hours upgrading from Vista Business to Windows 7 Pro, and as I finally login to the Windows 7, I see a horrifying message "Windows Explorer has stopped responding" with an option to restart it/debug. If this was a one time thing I may have shrugged it off, but then the horrible message popups again, and again, and again. Although I removed any software that the installation said was incompatible, I decide that maybe this error could be caused by something I have running. So, I uninstall my A/V and firewall, and clean up anything in startup.
I reboot, and once again, am greeted with multiple warnings about windows explorer not responding. At which point I decided, screw it, and am now restoring Windows Vista from an Acronis True Image backup. 1 hour and 50 minutes to go, yipee.
Now I find myself sitting here wondering why I wanted to upgrade in the first place... :shadedshu
