I am considering it, since I have XP right now.

Hope you've got your entire hard drive backed up!

"Anyone upgrading from XP to Windows 7 isn't just going to lose "most installed programs," but rather everything. There's no way to upgrade directly from XP to Windows 7, at least not using a Windows 7 media disc. Your only option is to perform a "clean install," which essentially wipes all the data off your existing drive and forces you to start fresh."

Way to go Microsoft!
