Last summer I purchased a fully loaded top of the line HP HDX 18 Premium Series notebook under the HP employee discount before being laid off by Hewlett Packard when they closed the New Jersey software development site at which I worked.  Windows 7 wasn’t released yet but the machine came with a free upgrade.  I eventually sent away for the upgrade and I have my disks, but I have been sitting on it since I rely on my machine for, like, everything and I am always wary of Windows OS upgrades.  I have yet to back the thing up and have an emergency plan should something go wrong.  I found this interesting upgrade article from PC Magazine.  The time draws close.  Wish me luck.
