Pros: 4. Better security 5. Support latest hardwares 6. Better platform to play Skyrim and probably many other new game. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Never had any problem playing any games. Ram is dirt cheap nowadays, unless you are using DDR1 or SDRAM.

Battlefield 3 ? For me, Windows 7 loads and closes much faster than XP. Sometimes XP feels like it takes forever to start up.

But the new user interface is much superior to that of XP, in terms of look and feel. Whenever I have to work with older OSes now, I always miss 7's Start's "Search programs and files".
