THAT is the reason I want XP, besides which Vista still isn't completely fixed, and what I have seen of it I don't really like anyway.

But Windows 7 is an improvement in performance. Plus it is compatible with DX10, which has improvements for current DX9 cards & games that support them (at least, I know Valve's Source engine currently allows for this). All new software will be designed for it, the 64 bit compatibility is almost universally standard, so all the drivers will come stock built for it (and now we can utilize all the wonderful 64 bit enhancements, such as more RAM support and generally faster processing.

If we want to make a comparison, Windows Vista was indeed the new Windows ME, and now Windows 7 will be the new Windows XP. It came along 2 years after (ME 00, XP 02 :: Vista 07, Seven 09) and fixed everything that was wrong with the predecessor, and included full and complete versions of all the new features and tools.

People have been using it for months now, and it's rock solid and just better!

Windows 7 is pretty awesome. I tried out the release candidate. It installs so fast compared to Vista and XP, even though it takes up more space. It also runs smooth on my 4-year-old computer, better than Vista did. BTW, if you're going to get the RC for Windows 7, I'd hurry. I think they're closing it at the end of June.

Remember Microsoft's upgrade program for people who bought XP computers a few months before Vista came out?

Windows 7 is pretty good. Not perfect, but good. And definetly better than WinVista.

And nowadays there is not much to say against Vista. Its big problems are fixed (finally...), no more perfomance problems, no more giant security holes. Actually, it offers better security (especially for non-power users).

I personally never liked Vista. Since the day it was announced with that weird glossy transparency style to the day I finally got it preinstalled on the notebook I bought. Couldn't bear with it longer than a week (I really tried to give it a chance!). Constantly being asked "are you sure you wanna open that file", "are you REALLY sure you wanna open the file?" annoys as hell (first thing I had to turn off, but apparently together with all the other security goodies of Vista...). Horrible usability due to the transparency style which still used a lot of space on screen being quite "blocky"...
The horror...

Win7 is a good alternative, its recent betas are incredibly stable compared to the first WinXP and Vista versions. I'm just waiting for more official Win7 drivers and software to be released. Until that, Win7 remains my second boot partition . though it has good backwards compatibility, you can use most WinXP/Vista drivers on Win7 if nothing else is avaible, and most programs run in compatibility mode. Better than in Vista, that is .

I can remember Win98 when I was little, but I think W2K's point is valid. Never had anything else then XP. I would love to have Win7 when it comes out though

It's about time a new and better OS comes to serve.

And what site was that on?
