Re: Do I need to upgrade?
If you are happy with Mint 7 and everything is working well there is no need to upgrade if you don't want to. Some people are having problems with Mint 8 because of regressions Ubuntu introduced. The choice is yours but if you decide to go with Mint 8, try the Live CD and make sure everything works first.
