Except nobody would say that about the Vista beta because the Vista betas were terrible.

I wish they would have come up with a better name than "7" (isn't it actually like NT 6.1 anyways?) but other than that no problems with it.

I've even gotten them to upgrade at work!! Yep, instead of the Vista Business to XP Pro downgraded computers we're ordering 7 Professional to XP Pro downgrades!

Not quite. It had a lot of problems with compatibility, especially with games and drivers but on the computer I used it on it was still better then XP. The few programs that I used at the time worked like normal but everything was much snappier compared to the fresh install of XP on that same computer or even Ubuntu.
