Using "Sept" from seven - septem.

Presept - Usually people with questions like "Will my PC run Windows 7?" or "Will XPMode play my favourite game and fax from my scanner without crashing like it usually does?

Antiseptics - those who will have to have XP/2K pried from their cold dead IDE disks before moving to 7

Aseptic - those people who can comfortably surf the net without antivirus, antimalware, who don't have to restart their machine every time an update from the internet installs on their system, and don't have a recycle bin, homegroup or workgroup on their network that has an uptime of over 250 days and counting.

Septum - a barrier you reach when you don't know how to do it in 7
