guys......windows 7 is coming in 2010. i don't see how you think Microsoft is just pushing vista aside. Vista will still be going strong for the next 2 1/2 years before it comes out. its not like Windows 7 is coming out tomorrow.

2010 is 1 1/2 years away.

And XP was around for like 6 years before Vista was released.

And if they let Vista live too long then all those same idiots who hate Vista won't be able to let go of it for Windows Seven.

Yep, and all of the noobs will cry that Vista is sooooo much greater than Windows 7........all of the younger crowd grew up in XP so that's all they knew. Vista came along and it's all a sudden time to learn a few new things. Crying ensued.
