I'm tired of hearing about 7 being what Vista should have been. I love Vista. Who's with me?

Windows 7 won't support the P.C.s that didn't have the hardware to run Vista too.

I'll stick with vista. I works fine for me, though I will eventually go to 7. 7 is very nice. Those who are on xp and are looking to upgrade should wait and get 7 when it comes out.

I'll be sticking with Vista for some time, works perfect for me. So it's a bit of a resource hog, with RAM being so cheap right now who cares? I see people saying they will switch to windows 7 for this reason, so they are willing to shell out for a new OS but are too cheap to buy a little more RAM? Heh.

Windows 7 looks nice 'n all I just don't see any major reasons for me to switch. Maybe I will in time but for now i'm happy with Vista, it does everything I want and need it to do ;]

I am with you also. I still have 98SE and XP on other systems. 7 is too new to out do Vista at this point. I do hope it does out do Vista some day though but not yet.

And while I am cool with Vista not sure what it offers me over XP? I am fine with both.
