I actually eventually learned to live with Vista, but it took a long while. I don’t think I’m switching again.

The big thing about 7 is basically to be what Vista was supposed to be. It’s supposed to run faster, be more efficient and just an overall better OS.

@Tom: Surprisingly enough this rant post has got some valuable feedback. i also checked the list that’s on the update of the post and i was impressed by what MS has been up to in terms of user friendlynes. i might look at this post a few years later and laugh at my self but as a note to me this is what i think at the moment

Well, I gave Vista 2 tries, and went back to Xp both times!
I installed the Windows7 beta 1 (dual booting with XP), and I simply love it! I can honestly say that when the final product is released, I will be ready to leave Xp behind! There finally getting it right!

@Raju: I think they are identical with the exception of the touch screen. Plus the fact that they are built on Vista makes me think they must at least be as resource hungry. But, as i said, time will show…

@stratos,
again I don’t agree with you completely resource requirements for Windows 7 are lesser than Vista but more than XP.

@ Stratos

I love the box representation of things…

@ Rockstar Sid

I know the reason behind… You cannot install them on your age old PC … Same case with me…

@Kim Thanks for stopping by! And yes the fact that you weren’t aware of the fuss indicates that you were definitely not online Anyway i am hopeful too but being hopeful with windows is like being hopeful that the Titanic won’t sink when you watch the movie I am just kidding ofcourse. The one thing i would like to avoid is buy a touch screen but i guess this is part of the progress of mankind and in 40 years we will be wondering how things were done when touch screens were not around (just like we do with mice these days as they turn 40)… Only time will prove me wrong (i hope) or right….

Hi – I was going to ask what version you used and then the question was answered in the comments. Personally, I want my operating system to be stable and the last thing I want is a beta version. I didn’t know about the hype until today because I haven’t really been online but I’m really not surprised. There is a type of me first personality that is always eager to try the newest, wait in line to be first, etc.

I really enjoyed this rant. I’m hopeful about Windows 7 but am prepared to be disappointed. As it stands I still use XP
