I just finished installing the copy I got for a $150 from my Dad's friend. It's a huge step from vista, what should I do first?

Try out Paint, etc.. I never thought they would change Paint's classicness.

Windows 7 > Mac

Macs suck. And what's the point of adding a Mac skin to a Windows 7? My friend did that with his W-XP and it started to lag.

Thats cause Windows XP is like 9 years old.

Well, Windows 7 and Windows XP are two completely different OS. The only similarity is the familiar controls

Having used both a Macbook Pro and the school computers running Win. 7, I can safely say I miss Windows XP :(

Our school uses XP, even though the computers were built with 7 in mind.

I just went from XP to Windows 7, literally, and I'm trying to get used to it. /g/ nerds convinced me. I have to say, it's pretty classy.

I used to be really into customizing windows into looking like mac os x but I realized it just makes it worse. You can not make it look entirely like a mac which always bugs me. You also can't get rid of all of the windows branding.

One thing I recommend with Windows 7 is to use the windows super-bar (or whatever it is called) as a dock. I find it very useful. You will probably want to get Ccleaner which is good for any windows install. I like Microsoft Security Essentials as my antivirus.
