Hilltop has already compared the various versions of Windows 7 and recommends Windows 7 Professional to our clients because of its ability to join company Domains and the Windows XP compatibility mode.
There's no smooth upgrade path from Windows XP, so we recommend seeking help unless you're comfortable investing the time and energy to backup your data and locate all application installers, plus related licensing. Microsoft's Windows 7 upgrade advisor is also a key checkpoint to make sure any older machine is going to run acceptably. Very generally speaking, we do not advise upgrades on machines older than one year -- high-end purchases are notable exceptions.
In the coming months, Hilltop will continue testing Windows 7 in select office network environments to identify common issues and solutions. If you're interested in taking part in our real-world testing, please contact us.
