I havent looked into it recently but when I did last year it looked promising

Am I the only one that feels like they just now got Vista stabilized to the point that it's actually functional?

I heard it's much harder to crack into.

I have friends that said it was good. I just updated from xp to vista 64. I like how vista look but when it comes to performance it does not compare to xp. I hope the final version of window 7 will better than vista.

I was planning to buy a new laptop this summer, but now I'm waiting until the release of windows 7 so that I can skip vista altogether.

(Please, no more 'eye candy'.). Don't care much for Vista. Yes, I suspect that XP on a 64bit machine will please some, but I only expect it to act like a 32bit system, with its memory limitations etc.
If I wanted 64 bit performance, I'd probably go for Vista (or wait for 7), avoid XP 64-bit as there are not that many drivers and is unlikely to get any better:crash:
^^:helpme:.

(Having said that, I'm still not particularly keen on Vista compared to XP. Roundabouts LOL. :spin:

Windows 7 is a big improvement on Vista. My gf had a Vista machine and pre SP1 it was a total pig. It still is a bit of a mare but a lot of the problems have been sorted.

Vista is dead in terms of marketing and Windows 7 is getting a lot of praise around the blogphere. It is Vista done right with quite a fair few addons to boot. It is the OS that will cause an update to a very old P4 system, although that said the upgrade might be to Snow Leopard.

I need to get windows 7. I wont use vista, and xp is getting way to old.

From my standpoint, it's probably the best job Microsoft has done with an OS in a long, long time.

Well, that's sort of what they did, only they also took a bunch of the worst parts of Vista (lack of drivers, incompatible hardware etc..) and made sure that didn't happen in the next iteration of the OS. It's a damn fine OS, snappy as hell, and quite a bit lighter on memory than Vista, which is a really nice thing.
