running it on my desktop at home, found it to be a good evolutionary
step, nothing really amazing, but good new versions of everything, plus
some nice new toys.

if you have 7.2 and keep it up to date dont bother, if your doing a new
install or you havent updated anything in 7.2 (or if your running 7.1
which was almost as bad as 7.0) then its prob worth it
