Yes, Vista sucks. But it's not as bad as everyone says. The main reason Vista failed, is because manufacturers sold it on crap PCs that couldn't handle it, and hardware manufacturers were too lazy to make beta drivers to test pre release.
From what I've seen of Windows 7, I will most likely be buying it when its released. Or when my evaluation version runs out at the start of March next year.
I don't see why XP users have to be to stubborn in upgrading to Windows 7. Surely, having tested the beta you can see how good it is so far. And at the end of the day, didn't it take TWO service packs for XP to come good? Vista improved a lot with SP1, and I'm sure Windows 7 even as good as it is now, might need one service pack to be amazingly blindingly fast. At the end of the day, bugs are problems will always be found on release, as not everyone is running Windows 7.
I have my faith in Microsoft. The failure of Vista was not all their fault. The PC manufacturers and hardware manufacturers are to blame also.
Bring on Windows 7 release day!

I don't understand your reasons here. Windows 7 is NOT Vista.
