I'm friends with the IT manager at my previous employer.  He always said that
If you buy a Dell to get one of their business machines, because the support
on that side is great while the consumer-side support is terrible.

We went from XP to Windows 7 and I considered it a huge upgrade.  There are a
lot of little features in Win7 that I used and liked that aren't in XP (The
snipping tool was very handy for the work I do).

At my new employer, they're transitioning from Dell to HP and I got an HP
laptop when I started.  It has a couple gizmos my Dell didn't have but seems
comparable enough to me.

They're also still on XP, which I like much less.  They're rolling Win7 out
over the next couple quarters, thankfully.
