Windows 7: Poll: Windows 7: Which edition will you be upgrading to?

Windows 7 versions

Since I already have the Vista Ultimate, I will get the same for Windows 7 - I tested Windows 7 ultimate & like the backup & recovery options much better than I had on Vista Home Premium...that's the main reason. The W7 crashed once & I was able to use the image backup I had saved to resover without losing any files or programs

Windows 7 Ultimate

I am already running Windows 7 Ultimate. I downloaded the free copy from MS about a month ago, and I am happy to report that it is MUCH better than the Vista launch (which for me was a total disaster -- I "downgraded" several computers to XP because I was so dissatisfied with the driver incompatibility situation). So far the only (small) problems I have had are: 1) HP 7850 Officejet Pro printer -- HP does not have a Windows 7 driver yet, and won't have one ready until late October. 2) Some problems with the video going to "sleep" and not "waking up" when I come back. Audio works fine, so I know the computer is waking up... but the video won't come on. I'm using a home-built Asus 6T mobo, 2-1GB (4950) DDR5 vid cards in SLI, and 6GB DDR3 ram, so the system is plenty strong enough to push Win 7. Must be an incompatibility with the SLI setup, perhaps? Other than that, I am very satisfied with Windows 7 so far! Installed almost seamlessly and found everything (except the printer) in my system...
