Worth it for me to switch to Windows 7?

I would get the Windows 7 One less thing you have to buy when you do buy your new computer Xp is outdated for new apps and games and you can't even buy it anymore However with windows 7 you can run programs under xp settings and i heard it is less on your HD plus you get DX10 / 11 and better updates to run your computer faster Its money well spent

my second machine is a core2 E6550 socket 775, has 4GB ram, and an HD5850, without windows 7 i couldn't use directx10/11, and games are totally playable with dx11 enabled... i got a noctua cooler for it and overclocked the cpu to 3GHz and its a perfect 2nd computer for friends coming over, since it can play all the games my main one can too.
