Wanted: Your Windows 7 Tales

We're looking for stories of migration to Windows 7 for a story we're putting together for Redmond, our sister magazine. These don't have to be enterprise migrations, since we figure there aren't many of those yet. They can simply be your tales of upgrading your own computer from XP or Vista to the new OS.

Share your triumphs and tragedies at [email protected] or leave a comment below. And remember that we'll never, ever publish your full name without contacting you and getting your permission first. Thanks.
