Overarching observations
• This is the easiest Windows update ever.
• There is no direct upgrade path from XP to 7, but Microsoft has tools that make the process easy.
• Windows 7 is far faster than Vista and faster even than XP.
• Disk-heavy applications (Carbonite backup, for example) can coexist (most of the time) with applications such as Itunes.
• Networking and file sharing (via Homegroup) alone are worth the cost of the upgrade. All systems must run Windows 7.

The short account:
1. Win XP to Win 7 – no need to format the drive.
2. If you use Microsoft’s update tool, most of the settings for applications will be preserved.
3. Microsoft provides a list of apps that were installed previously. There is no way to print this list.
