Primary PC being updated to Windows 7 after 8 years

It's been a good run, but the primary PC needs to move from XP to Windows 7.

In the past eight years:
1) I've graduated college, moved on from my first software job into self employment, been in numerous long term relationships.

2) I've played a ton of video games, ranging from Everquest, to Quake 2, to Starcraft II.

Eight years ago Xbox didn't even exist.
Eight years ago there was no Facebook.

$100 later, I have a copy of Windows 7 Home Premium in my hands and it is installing as we speak.

Vista and Windows 7 on my laptop, pc, and secondary PC.

Welcome to the future.
