What's great about it: Everything, simply everything
What's not so great: You gotta pay the piper.....
Bought this to complete my home network which includes 4 computers, now that we are all on Windows 7, home networking is a breeze and the parental controls are amazing and non intrusive. The 64 bit version has provided the opportunity to add extra memory which provided an easier time browsing, using multiple apps, and downloading multiple files at the same time. If you have XP or Vista, dump it and get this operating system, you will never look back.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Just works, and better performance & stability than VISTA or XP
What's not so great: Prices for A nearly obsolete Operating System are still unrealistically high... (Not Bestbuy's fault!)
The install went quickly and quietly as I was replacing the hard drive with a SSD (Solid State Drive) on my wife's Sony VAIO laptop that came with VISTA (Yuck!). The laptop was performing like a dog, and even though it is restricted to 2GB max. RAM, I knew that I had to be able to do something that would allow her to use it again. (She was ready to toss a high-end 13" Intel 2.4GHz Dual Core laptop in the trash it was so bad!)
Well it performs MUCH faster now due in large part to the SSD upgrade, (There are needless "complications" with running SSDs in XP or even sometimes VISTA.) and aside for the integrated SONY webcam, (Known Windows-7 driver issues) everything works great now. This sub-$100 purchase just saved me from having to buy a new $800-plus comparable ultrbook replacement!
I would recommend this to a friend!
